I'm 9 week & 2 day pregnant, No heart beat found in vaginal ultrasound, No bleeding / cramps yet - Should I have any hope?

[n_chutki]

This happened to me yesterday. Yes, it is a very fresh wound and I need help....

I went for my routine vaginal ultrasound check up yetsreday and the doctor said she could not find a heart beat. It was very unexpected. She suggested me 3 options for passing out the miscairrage -

1. Wait for a week from yesterday for the body to pass out the baby by itself.
2. Take medecine, with which I will have heavy crampings and baby will pass out in 24 hours from
    my body.
3. D& C - surgery.

I have my next appointment with the doctor in a weeks time to choose one of the above option and let them proceed.I am having no signs of miscairrage yet , No bleeding, no cramps ...no nothing...

All I want to know - Is there any hope ???- where the baby's heart beat can come back? Any other advice on to know for sure that the pregnancy is not progressing....? I am still continuing to take prenatals per my doctor's advice...

Any advice will be appreciated.... Please pray fro me..I believe in prayers ...

Thank you for all your help.

I'm experiencing the same thing as the rest of you.  Using the last date of my menstral cycle, I should be at 9 weeks.  My doctor measured the fetus yesterday to be 9.5 weeks but couldn't find the heart beat in the ultrasound.  He was just as surprised as we were, and even ordered a more detailed U/S for later today.  If the diagnosis is confirmed to be a m/c, then we'll be doing a D&C and a biopsy after to determine the cause - that way we can see if there is anything we can do in the future to ensure this doesn't happen again.

My husband and I were estatic for our new baby, and it's the worst feeling to lose (or potentially lose) a child - even if it is only an inch big.  I am so sorry this happened to you - all of you.

Any suggestions???

I to had the samething I just lost my baby at 9 and half weeks, but thing is I heard the heart beat at 8 weeks and went back and they could find one. The heat beat 176 beats per min and then 2 weeks later lost the heart beat. I feel very empty inside. I had to carry it around for 2 week without a heart beat. I know what you all are going though

I am 44yrs old and I was told as a teen that I could not have children because of servere poly cyctic ovaries. Well needless to say here I am 9wks pregnant, but I also went to the doctors and had a utra sound and no heartbeat is detected. So he sent me to the lab to have an second opinion and to just confirm that there is no heart beat.
I opted for a D & C to just get it over with. Everything has happen in one week before I can even process the first of all that I can have children after all. Not for sure if I wanted to have one at 44, but I sure didn't want anything to be wrong with it now that it exisit. Double Whammy for me!
I have a lot of mixed emotions going on right now, but I will keep everyone of you in my prayers.

I had the same experience but I as 12 weeks when I found out.. blighted ovum though.  I ended up having a d&c, it turned out good and I had no complications but I hope to not have to make the decision again but I would wait it out  for a natural miscarriage if you can because its better for the body and allows you to ttc again alot sooner..  a natural miscarriage will be more painful and probably traumatic than a d&c (if you haven o complications - i was in and out in 15 mins) but its the nature way of doing it and its the less risky.. But always get follow up care

Hi there this is my first time posting. Just wanted to let all of you know what happened to me. I went in for my first doc appointment (Monday) and they did blood work. My hcg levels where at about 8000 then I had to go back to see if my levels went up or down on Wednesday. I then went back the next Monday only to find out that my levels went down about 1000. The resident doctor prescribed me with pills to start the "abortion" process because he said there was no heart beat and that i was having a miscarriage. I went home and thought about it and decided that it made no sens how could he make a decision based on two blood works and no ultrasound. So I went to the ER at another hospital I told them that I had been spotting which I was for about a week and that I wanted to make sure my baby was fine.  Well guess what Ladys My baby was alive, had a heart beat and my cervix was closed. My HCG levels where at 31,000.  I was so mad that I could have killed my baby due to negligence. This is why I ask that you all make sure you are comfortable and have actual visual proof that there is no heart beat and an actual miscarriage.
