Pregnancy Info HOME

i was 10 weeks-ultra sound showed no baby-a sack but no baby-i have no doubt i was pregnant-sick, b___st tenderness...they wasked me if i had any bleeding, ets. i said no. that night i began cramping, spotting. 3 days later i had the most painful miscarriage-while in the hospital, my water brokr, lost allot of blood and some clots. then one big blob-i a__sumed it was the sack-i never saw any baby-did another v____al u.s., sent me home saying nothing showing-my levels still high in blood. the next day, i started cramping hard again-i paddes what was shaped like the fetus, hard and white ish. if nothing showed on US, what was this? -CONFUSED

I to went for an u/s yesterday and they did not see a baby(just a sak). The Dr. was so excited to give me a D&C that it scared me. Yes I've very little spotting, but that's all. I want to let you know that there is still hope. If the unfortunate happens....there is still hope! Doctors aren't always right and there is a chance that our little ones are not ready to be seen.( hide and seek) KEEP THE FAITH and don't give up just yet. Just think if someone would have given up on you.

I am going through the same thing I go for my third altrasound today. I am really scared because I dont know if my baby is alive.

I had a ultrasound yesterday at 9 weeks and they could only see the sac. Later that night I started bleeding and I think I am misscarrying. I am waiting for my results of my blood test. I had a miscarriage 5 months ago. I cannot believe it is happening again.

Somebody please help me. I recieved a positive pregnancy result about 3 weeks ago, I went to the doctor and they said I was around 6 weeks. They had an u/s done and like many of you, there was an empty sac, but my doc. told me not to worry My dates were just off, witch I was fine with, and went along as if everything was ok for at least a week. I woke up and started spotting real bright blood. I imediatly got my boyfriend and started driving to the hospital, on the way there I coughed and a whole bunch of large clots came out and a large amount of bleeding. they took my levels and did a pelvic and all that and finally an ultrasound, and the wierdest thing, the sac was still there. empty but there, I don't understand. The doctor told me he was 90% sure I was loosing the baby. well I went back for my levels the next day and they were 5200, almost 1000 higher than previously. I am still bleeding but the doc said i could still be pregnant, but i am having horible pains on my left side and hurting really bad, I don't go back till friday, what are the chances of a sac being in the uterus and the egg being in the tubes? i'm about ready to jump off a cliff, i can't handle not knowing, someone please help!!!!!!

Stacy- It doesn't sound good. If you are bleeding heavily with clots but it is possible to still be pregnant. I have been pregnant times and every time I bled. Although, I did not have clots, when I did clot it resulted in a miscarriage. Keep the faith.

Tamara I feel this intense hopelessness everyone talks about. I am measuring 6.4 weeks w/triplets.3sacks nothing else visable. my ob sch. d/c next week and until then praying for atleast ones chance. I will call you out in prayer likewise. I first trust God and asking for a 2nd opo.

Thank you Carolyn. I went back to the doctor today and they took my levels again, and they rose again, but only to 6,900 they were 5,200 three days ago. doctor says he doesn't think there's any hope but we are again waiting to see the levels in 2 more days, this is the worst waiting game ever. I also started bleeding again with clots, but then after the clots it stops. the doctor says the pain is normal. It don't feel normal. I'm so confused and scared. thanks for the reply again Carolyn.

I am pregnant with my first baby and was very excited until my first u/s 2 weeks ago and was told I had an empty sac and would probably miscarry soon. I am a U.S. citizen living in Guatemala so I was naturally concerned about the type of care I would receive here. I refused to believe what the Dr. said and thank God I did, because I went to a DIFFERENT Dr. today and did a v____al u/s and saw our beautiful baby with a heart beating and lots of squirming. We are about 9 w/ 2 d. I am thankful God allowed me to see this miracle and hopefully carry this blessing all the way through. I pray for the very best for all the women on this forum and for all of your miracles. God can do it!

6 weeks

Jenyfer I have the same case, I was told that I had empty sac and I had my faith in tact that there's a baby in there. The doctor told me basically that I will eventually miscarry. I'm happy to share that I'm on my 8 month with a healthy pregnancy due to have my preciuos one the end of April. Ladies keep your hopes high and faith in God believe that your baby is there and accept the gift. God bless!

Update to my prev posts: I am currently on day 35 since lmp. I have been testing every day but getting negative results. This morning however I took a test and at first it was negative but when I looked at it a few hrs later definately a faint positive. I am so confused. I have a ton of symptoms. I went to the dr this morning but they said they do not do blood tests unless they get a positive urine? What's the point then? They gave me a urnine test and will not have results until tom. I hate the waiting game that's why I asked for blood.

OK my update. I went back to the doctor to have my levels drawn again, and they went up again, to around 8,000. I'm still bleeding heavy on and off, and when I bleed there is clots. I don't understand. My doctor says the levels aren't rising like they should and tomarrow I have a intrav____al u/s to see if they can see anything in the sac, and my doctor said I need to make a decision. He said if the u/s comes back as a empty sac again, after a week, then he is at that point certain that it is a "blighted ovum". He wants me to decide if I want the D and C or if I want to wait it out, I'm loosing hope that there is a baby. is there anyone who had bad bleeding, and slow rising hcg levels and still was pregnant?

Stacy- I did. At first they could not find the baby n the dr office at 5wks. That is why she wanted to ck my hcg levels. She wanted to do the d&c then but I said no. So she did lab wrk, my levels were not looking good at all. They had only gone up in 3 days by a couple thousand. I was bleeding too. She scheduled me for an u/s the following wk and they found the baby. Everything looking good except they said that what was causing the bleeding was blood surrounding the sac. The u/s tech said that was o.k. but my dr said that it was not a good sign. It makes the lining of the uterus or something to thin which she said that I could either miscarry early on or have another late term miscarriage in the sec trimester. I kept up faith but had a m/c a wk later. Just keep the faith, I have been pregnant 5 x's and bleed w/ all of them. Two of the pregnancies made it to term and the 3rd one I had a 2nd trimester loss I believe to be from an amnio. Don't let them do a d&c until you are positive and satisfied w/ your decision.

Carolyn- thanks so much for the info. Was you bleeding a lot or just spotting? I get sick at the thought of having a D and C and there being a baby in there, they should be able to see the baby this time shouldn't they?

Stacy- if they can see the sac, they should be able to see a baby inside. Let me tell you what happened to me. I started to bleed and clot heavier toward the end. I knew it was going to be a miscarriage. I called my dr and they told me to go to the e.r. and they wld take me up to labor and deliery fl. That was terrible since the women up there, were there giving birth and there's me losing mine. Anyways, the dr who was doing the u/s on me told me that I had already lost the baby, which I didn't believe b/c I had a m/c b4 and knew the process. I would have bled a lot more by that point. So then she checked a little bit further and low an behold there was the baby...she was looking at my bladder the 1st time. It's kind of funny now but at the time when she told me I had already m/c , I was crying hysterically ,to tell me wait a minute there's the baby was terrible. She continued to say that I have a tilted uterus and that is why neither her or my dr could see the baby at 1st. Unfortunately when she zoomed in closer and did a dopler on the heart there was not heart beat and I m/c the next evening. She had asked me if I wanted a d&c but I thought if they have been wrong this far who knows what else they could be wrong about.
