8 wks, no hb, but baby is normal size

Ladies I'm 8 wks and the baby grew perfectly from last wk to this one. The dr could find the heartbeat and I m really freaked out. I've had no problems with this pregnancy. They r checking again Friday and then want to do d &c. The dr gave me less then 1% that it will be back. I'm not sure I'm excepting this. Has anyone been through this good results or bad. Internal or external us? This would be my 2nd. My water broke at 3 months with the l'ast one. This *****.

My us today confirmed no heart beat, fetal pole had pulled away and things were Breaking down. There was no blood flow dected. This is hard now i have lost two in a row. I know God will get me through. DH and both moms are lost for words and have cried also. God knows i can handle it or he would put me through it but it still hurts so bad. October is going to suck!!! Our first baby was due between our birthdays. Having this one made it not hurt when people forgot and ask or when i got stuff from the hospitle saying looking forward to see u, dont forget this things. Now i have two losses on my mind. I am thankful this one happened earlier than the last, but it still hurts. Dh has taken the lead and is making the decisions. I cant talk to the drs right now or decide anything. I told him i didnt want the dnc. so he is pushing for the pill that makes it happen naturally. it appears my body is doing it anyways. the baby is already breaking down. seeing it today was hard. i couldnt believe the difference. it was no longer one form.  WE will be starting over again.  sorrry if i went into too much details.

Thanks for ur help ladies. I would be excited if it were 2 in one sac.we r sure on the dates due to iui. Both were intravaginal.   My ony hope right now is that God is in control.

perhaps your dates are off???  
maybe it is twins and there are 2 in one sac???  making for smaller babies & less to detect in way of a heartbeat?

bless you.  I hope this goes well for you.

The first and second scan, did you do an intravaginal or external ultrasound? My sister's second pregnancy she had an external u/s at 8 weeks and she didn't see the heartbeat. The dr wasn't worried as the baby was growing fine. At 12 weeks she went back for another routine scan and there it was - 156bpm. She's not a large girl, so I don't think that was the issue in not finding the heartbeat. I was so worried and freaked out for her. She wasn't worried at all. This is her 2nd child and everything seems to go fine for her everytime!

Yes last us we could see it flicker, I was 6 wks + days. They did it one wk later and saw perfect growth but could see hb. We go back Friday to check again. I am praying and not losing hope. Thanks for ur help. I'm still open to more opnions and stories.

Are you saying they had found the HB previously, and then it wasn't there at a next scan? If that's the case, it won't come back. Once the heart stops the pregnancy has ended.
