It’s over. Another miscarriage ?
An unfortunate update: we went in today with the hopes of seeing a heartbeat but instead had our hearts broken again. In the ultrasound sound the doctor said he clearly saw the gestational sac and the yolk sac but could not find a fetal pole. I should be 7 weeks tomorrow and he said while it may be too early for a heartbeat we should be able to see a definitive fetal pole. There was a shadow that looked like it could have been it, but I only measured 5.5 weeks. He said there was no chance for a viable pregnancy and wants me to have a D&C early next week.
@ExpectingGreatness my doctor was generous and ran the recurrent loss blood panel on me after my first miscarriage. And we found that I have the MTHFR gene mutation. He put me on folate and baby aspirin this cycle. I’m like you though and just trying to figure out what possibly could have gone wrong. And what can I do to prevent it from happening again.
Thanks ladies for the kind words. And I’m so sorry to hear that many of you went through similar heartbreak. Right now it’s hard to imagine trying again but I’m sure I’ll get there eventually. Maybe this summer.
Ohhhhhh nooooooo! So sorry to hear this !!! Sending you a virtual hug. I was so hoping for a positive update today ... you were just measuring on track the other day . I hate that this is going on . ??????..... take time to heal physically and emotionally . If you try again I really hope this is it for you and you get your baby !! Many ladies have had multiple miscarriages and then go on to have healthy baby . I think you should have your doctor run the miscarriage panel test on you as well as clotting tests and check the embryo to make sure tests Normal to rule out cause . Maybe there is something like a steroid or baby aspirin they can give you next time . I don't know I'm just rambling because I'm trying to figure this out for you ... I know I can't say anything that will make you feel better ...hugs
I lost a baby at 15 weeks inJuly and I'm getting ready to start again. If you still have strength , don't quit ! It can still happen !!
So sorry for your loss! I have been in your shoes, at the point of complete devastation. Please do not give up! My first child was born just a couple of weeks past the 1 year mark of my 2nd heartbreaking loss. If I had given up, I wouldn’t have my spunky now just turned 3 year old, nor her 21 month old twin siblings. My second loss ended with a miscarriage on 12/9/13 (@ 12 weeks), my rainbow came on 12/31/14.
Take the time you need to recover emotionally, but let your desire for a child push you ahead. I can’t imagine where I would be today if I didn’t push through the pain.
Awwwww I'm so sorry you are going through such pain. I can't think of anything that would help but I am sending healing energy. Hope you can recover and still believe it will happen for you.
