Possible miscarriage ?
Hi everyone. I had my first scan 1/20 and I was supposed to be 8 weeks. Dr said I was measuring around 6 weeks and there was no heartbeat. I saw a yolk sac and fetal pole. The tech did say I have a tipped uterus and she was having trouble seeing the baby. She did abdominal and transvaginal scan. They said it's most likely a miscarriage and I'm going back Wednesday for a recheck. Do you guys think I have any hope? I've been so upset and I can't stop crying.

I'm absolutely gutted for you but you need to have hope I've seen a few people ask on here and that happened to them but everything turned out alright! Just remember it's not over until the fat lady sings! Rest, take it easy for the next little while and my fingers will be crossed for you

Thank you. I am trying to keep up hope. It just seems unreal but I know this happens all the time. I will update after my appt Wednesday.

It seems to me maybe you are just not as far as you think, even though you might know exact dates of everything. They saw pole and sac so that is a good thing. It might have been a lil early to see heartbeat and because you have a tipped uterus doesn't help. I also have tipped uterus.
I'm hopeful here and as long as your not bleeding or anything I wouldn't worry so much. Hopefully you can be seen again in a week or so and see the lil heart beating away
Praying for you

Hmm are you 100% on your dates? Have you had any hcg testing? I would hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Next ultrasound they will know for sure (if no growth). That's an agonizing wait and I am so sorry.
I was two weeks off no heartbeat and should have been 10 weeks but showed 8. It was a missed miscarriage for me and I had a D&C today.
I hope this works out for you and that baby is just a bit behind on dates. Will. Be thinking about you and sending positive thoughts your way.

Thank you for your positive thoughts. I am pretty sure about my dates as I used opk and estimate ovulation at 12/9 and got a positive pregnancy test on 12/18. I did ovulate a couple days past the "average" so I might be a couple days earlier but not 2 weeks. I have read that tilted uterus can make baby measure smaller at first but that doesn't explain the lack of heartbeat. I know I'm grasping at straws and I'm realistic about what they will probably find tomorrow but I am going to continue to stay positive until the last minute. I have had no bleeding or cramping and I still have morning sickness. If the baby has passed away then my body has no clue. How did the d and c go? I'm undecided if I would go that route or wait it out. Oh and I've had no blood work done at all.

I just had my second D&C. Both times I had really good experiences. I was so grateful not to miscarry at home. D&C gave me closure and let me heal emotionally a little faster. This time it was almost entirely painless with the smallest amount of bleeding afterwards.
I was put under general anesthesia/intubated each time. I asked for and received the scopolamine patch to help with nausea. It goes behind your ear. And both times they gave me something IV to calm me. First time was Valium, this time it was Versed. True to the nature of versed, I have no memory other than wheeling to the OR and maybe my arms strapped down (not sure on that if it was a dream). I basically closed my eyes, and woke up in recovery.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this twice. Hugs! ❤️ I am leaning towards the d&c I think if there is still no heartbeat. The only reason why I am hesitant is cause I always have that little nagging thought like what if they are wrong? I had a dream that I got the d&c before I had my follow up ultrasound and I was panicking.

I am so sorry. I am going through a similar situation and am so relieved the Doc recommended a D&C for me because after all my research that's what I wanted as well. I am waiting to get it scheduled this week. I hope and pray for you, keep us posted.

I had really good experiences with D&C both times. Each time my doctor did an ultrasound again in the OR to confirm before doing the procedure. That meant a lot to me.
I was especially grateful to have it over in one day, and my pain was very well controlled. I am glad I don't remember it, because that would absolutely have traumatized me.
I am sorry you're having to even think about any of this. It's so cruel and unfair.

I am going through the same exact thing that you are. I am supposed to be 10 weeks but the doc couldn't hear a heartbeat so they sent me for a ultrasound. He said they saw a yolk sac and fetal tube and that i got pregnant later than I thought. I am 100% about my dates, so now I am sitting here confused about everything. I go back to the doc Monday.

Any news?

Unfortunately the scan showed no growth and no heartbeat. I'm having the d & c tomorrow. Thank you ladies for all of your concern and support.

I'm so so sorry! ? I wish you the best of luck for whatever your future plans may be! You'll get through this ?
Erin·
Thank you. We will try again. I am doing ok and accepting that it just wasn't meant to be. I am blessed with a son who is 13 months and he is perfect so maybe it just wasn't time for another yet. Good luck with your pregnancy! I'm so excited for you.

I have the exact problem I was suppose to be 8 weeks and 3 days according to my last scan 5 days ago today I went for a scan and the baby was measuring 7 weeks and 4 days the same as I was on Monday the baby hasn't grown but there was still a heart beat. I pick up my results on Monday fingers crossed I'm so scared I've already had two miss carriages. ?

I'm sorry but try to stay positive since you still have a heartbeat. Hugs and prayers. ❤
