I plan on waiting to see if I bleed or anything. My mom, who is a nurse, said she's seen a woman come in at 8 weeks and they couldn't find a heart beat, she came back at 12 weeks because the baby never expelled through her system and they found a heart beat. She told me to request another ultrasound if I don't have any other miscarriage symptoms in a week or so.
I'd wait if I were you. Don't take any pills and don't let them do D&C unless you are 100% sure you miscarried. Especially with you not being able to remember the dates of your period, and ultrasound measurements not always being accurate. Hoping for good news for you <3
You may be off on your dates. I thought I was 8weeks from my LMP. but idk it's weird it doesn't always work out like that. Anyways I went in for my 1st u/s & they could not find any heartbeat. They just said there was a yolk sac. The Dr. was saying I might have a blighted ovum. So ya inwas freaking out & everything. Being this is my 1st pregnancy. I did a bunch of blood test & at 1st my blood test for my HCG levels came back low then it was high. Well I had my 2nd u/s & I seen my lil baby's heart beat & heard it :) yesterday I asked for another cuz I was worried so for my peaked of mind they gave me another & I got to heart my babys heartbeat again. So keep ur faith & I'll be praying everything is goes good for you :) oh & also when I did my u/s I measured at 6weeks.
I am so sorry. Miscarriages can be so difficult. Yes, to answer your question, this happens frequently in the miscarriage world. Chances are your little one passed at 7 weeks 3 days, but your body did not recognize it. Most women will pass the baby on their own when a miscarriage happens, but some don't. This may be what's happening to you. In this event induction is sometimes required or a surgical procedure called a D&C to remove everything from you. If there was no heartbeat, there is no chance of the baby being alive. I am so very sorry. I have been there as a healthcare professional and as a mama myself. Hugs to you.
