doctor wrong?

Question

I started spotting Sunday so I went to the doctor on Monday. He did an ultrasound and said that the baby was gone. It was an empty sac. I was 10 weeks. I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks and we got to see a heartbeat and everything. Anyway, he said that it looked like the miscarriage had already happened but I haven't passed any tissue or anything like I did with my first miscarriage. Is there any chance the doctor is wrong and that the baby was just hiding?

khull,  I'm so sorry this happened to you.  

Very early miscarriages are extremely common - but having two in a row that happen after the baby has a heartbeat is much rarer.  Early miscarriages that involve the baby really never getting started growing are more common and less of a concern.

I don't know if I'd take the statement of being "unlucky" without doing more investigation.

Has he checked your progesterone levels?

I'm hanging in there. This is my second miscarriage in a row. I don't have any other children. Doctor said I'm extremely unlucky because the chance of this happening again and after I heard a heartbeat is under 1%.

I'm still bleeding and it's getting heavier and looks like I'm starting to pass some tissue now so I guess he was right but I just hadn't passed anything yet. :(

hmm id wonder thats for sure, at 10 weeks you should have passed some sort of tissue or a sack, i know it was hard for my dr to find my baby with u/s up until 14 weeks because it kept moving so quick, also if you have a tilted uterus sometime baby can hide quite well. did you have alot of bleeding or just a small amount? also did you loose any clots? if not id get a second opinion for sure because i when i miscarried there was no missing it at all. good luck :)

Idk What To Say That's Crazy!!! I've Had Two Miscarriages And passed The Fetal Tissue Naturally (No D&C) And For Me It Was Very Painful Both Times I Dnt Really C How It Could've Happened Without You Noticing. Perhaps You Should Get A Second Opinion? Good Luck Hun Hopefully Baby's Okay.
