Pregnancy Info HOME

Gail, I am hoping and praying for you. I know how you feel with these Dr's some of them should be working on cars. Don't they teach them in school women are not made of steel! All the best- God Bless you!

Hi Donna, Thanks for the kinds words, sorry for you lost as well. Unfortunately to say, I went to the bathroom last night and there it was, I went ahead and cancelled my u/s for today, what the use getting more bad news. I know deep down that I m/c, apart was just hoping for a misdiagnose. I will just go ahead and have the D&C as soon as possible. Funny I would just be completely my 1st trimester. God knows bess.

well, sometime if you have tilt uterus , it will be hard to see the baby . I myself have tilt uterus until the 3rd scan can really see my baby it was about 9 weeks pregnancy. good luck

hi im also going threw the same thing as we speak my periods are hardly ever there so im not sure when i got pregnant the ob dr said im about 8 weeks on the third i went for an u/s a week later and they said there was nothing there and now yesterday i went to get my test results all the sudden the ob nurse said they found a sac but it was empty now im doing the waiting game

Heather- you may just be too early!!

On 8/17 I posted my story of having an empty sac, Well I could not help myself I had to have a second u/s for confirmation, so I kept the appt. and am not sure if I did the right thing. I went to the radiology office, the tech told me that she would not beable to tell me what is happen, but the doctor will, they always have a doctor at hand to explain if something abnormal is going on. I lay there no heart beat, they would not allow me to see the monitor, and you all know anticipation is killing me. So she called the doc. to take a look, which he entered the room and did, and then told me that he will explain what is going on, get dress and come to his office, by the time I went to his office, he told me that unfortunately he cannot give me the result as my dr. office said not to. I was beginning to change color here and getting real upset. I told him that if the result should be the same as the first, why can I not know what is going on. Nothing was said to me, I got upset and left, crying, cause now am thinking that its more than what it is, still have not hear from my dr. A nurse called me and said when date do I want to set up the D&C? I have being a nervous an crazy person since. I cannot sleep. I had s_x once after I found out I was pregnant. My question is can you get repregnant while there is an empty sac? Can I get a copy of my result from the Radiology office or my Dr's office? I still did not pa__s any clod blood just light spotting. Whatever info you all have I would really appreciate it. Thank you all and may God continue to bless us.

Gail- I am so sorry for the information at hand. A doctor knows when they see something that isn't right. Sounds horrible, but going thru it multiple times, knows when its not looking too promising. I had the same experience. The tech (couldn't tell me the "news") etc. etc..... so, right there I knew it was bad, because before that, the "other tech, 2 weeks before" was showing me everything and said it looked good. I wasn't confident it was. Because I knew I should be a lot further than they said. Anyhow, it really is heart-breaking.... but, do believe them. The reason why they didn't want you to see the screen, etc. is because its harder to absorb it in. If you know what I mean. I didn't even have the slightest bit of bleeding, but I "unfortunately" did see the screen. They know what a good or bad pregnancy looks like, from a great time of experience. I didn't want to believe it myself, for it truly does suck. As far as your question goes...... NO>>>>> you can NOT get pregnant while being pregnant with an empty sac. You have to wait until you ovulate again, which may take until all your hormone levels go back to 0. It really does suck and seems like forever, but not much you can do. I pray the next pregnancy works out for you!! and I'm sure it will!! Just keep your head up (as hard as it may seem). Best of luck!!

Gail----- P.S. I also had a second opinion and did end up having a D&C. (the first in my life)... It helped for I knew in my heart it was a "bad" pregnancy, and just wanted it to get cleaned out instead of wondering when it would come naturally. The D&C isn't bad at all, like I thought. And they say you can actually go back to your normal cycle faster, because it cleans out so much quicker. Just a helpful thought. But, if you feel like, you don't want to always have the "what ifs" then don't do it. If you truly know deep down that its not right, than it wont hurt. and you wont have to go thru the wondering every time that you go to the bathroom, if your going to see blood. I really hope the best for you!!!

Daniella you're a sweet heart. You know the sad thing about my situation is that, I have a 6yrs daughter and she has being asking me for years now when is she going to get to have a sister or brother so she can help me with diaper changing and all that good stuff like her friends do, so when I found out I was pregnant I could not wait to tell her the good news, so on the day of the u/s I decided to surprise her, so she too can hear the heart's beat and nothing she just looked at me and said, "mom, I was do all that planning for nothing."Good thing she thinks I was joking, I cannot get into detail with her. she is not ready for all that. But thank you so much, you dont even know how much your info. helped me, now I can sleep, eat and put a smile on my face, I believe that I will let it go with the u/s testing. I was just throw off with the fact that they told me that their Dr. would give me the result, then turn around and said that he cannot. makes me think what exactly is going on here. I just have to keep praying and know that God will not give me more than what I can bear.

Just happened to me today...Dr confirmed empty sac and I have to stop my progesterone and wait for a miscarriage...today I was 7 weeks 2 days...I have to wait two period cycles before I start again. This is my third loss and everytime it has been different. My husband and I now have to do a series of blood test to check our DNA...I wish this was an easy process....

Ya, I've had 3 losses and no live births yet. Last one, I heard the heartbeat (very faint) and then started progesterone supps. 4 days later the heartbeat had stopped and then a day after that the fetal pole disappeared. How in the hell it did that, I don't know... but after the tech, I had the dr. check and she kinda found it, but very small. So, its amazing at how fast your body will absorb a "bad" pregnancy. The sac was there but the fetal pole was going away. Never knew that could happen. Today is our dr. apt. to go over our options, do some testing, etc. I don't have a problem conceiving, just sustaining. Gail- it is emotionally hard, not just on you and the hubby, but your daughter as well. My hubby and I came to the conclusion that we will not tell anyone the next time I get pregnant, until I am 12 weeks and when it looks good. My 9 year old brother inlaw had a very hard time with this loss. I am his only sister inlaw (he is the youngest of 3 boys, so not even a sister).... he was so happy and wanted to have someone younger than him around and everyday talked about diapers, etc. So, after we told him the bad news, he wouldn't talk. Every time my hubby talked to his little brother, he wouldn't want to hear about it. But, I promise, it does get better. Best of luck!!

i had a miscarriage back in Fed. 2005 and i am pregnant again. i had bleeding this time also so i went to the hospitaland they did an u/s and the baby was okay and we could see a heart beat but we could not hear it yet.i went in for a normal check up at 11 weeks and the dr. try to find a heart beat but we still chould hear nothing. the dr. said maybe the baby is just to small and we will try next time in a month! i have been worring day and night for 15 days now. i know what your going through and i hope everything works out for the both os us.

You should be able to hear a heartbeat real good by 7 weeks. 8 weeks at the absolute latest. So, maybe you aren't as far as you thought

Hi Vera, my heart goes out to you, what exactly happen to cause you to have complications and to have an emergency D&C. I am so scare to have a D&C, my Mom is telling me its nothing to worry about. I wish if I could just pa__s it all very soon. Its amaxing what a woman's body can go through. Also for anyone who knows the answer, How long does it takes to pa__s it naturally? it has been 16days since I got the terrible news and all I have it slight bleeding and cramping, nothing where I need to be rush to the emergency room. Can this harm me in anyways, having all that inside for so long?

Gail. I was bleeding really light for about 4 days before I had the really heavy bleeding with clots. That lasted for about 6 or 7 hours pretty much non stop. They told me I was likely to miscarry because the baby had stopped growing and it was about 6 days after that that I had the miscarriage.

I'll tell you what, listening to so many woman... I am really glad that I did have a D&C. It was so easy and ended very quickly. The process took about 10 minutes in the hospital. (no joke)!.... I was told that you can have a "bad" pregnancy stay in you for 4 weeks before it decides to m/c naturally. I didn't want to keep that waiting game, wondering everyday I went to the bathroom "am I going to see it this time," etc. So, I am glad with my decision. Had the D&C, only bleeding very lightly for a few days. No pain or anything. Plus the dr. can send out what they took out to examine it. I also hear that you can TTC faster after having a D&C then having it naturally. Whatever decision you decide Gail, I surely hope the best for you!!
