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.

well Carolyn my case sounds almost identicle to yours. I went for the ultrasound today, and like you I have a tilted uterus, and i'm real heavy, so they had a hard time finding anything at first, the they seen it, a baby, I hardly seen anything, but then they turned on the sound and there was a heartbeat, loud and great. Well that would be fine if the story stopped there but it don't. There is blood around the sac, a good bit of it. I know that usually signals a miscarriage, but it is differant now, I seen the baby, not a "blighted ovum" a real baby with a strong heartbeat. I'm so scared now, and to top it off my doctor never called me at all. grrrrrrrr now i'm where I began, waiting and praying to god everything goes ok.

Stacy-well I hope your case turns out happier than mine. I am also overweight and was worried that this may have been causing my miscarriages and not to get regular cycles but my dr says no. The blood surrounding the sac does not wound good. The u/s tech made me feel at ease saying that they have seen this before and a lot of woman went on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies but my dr. said otherwise. She said it is not normal or good to have blood surrounding the sac and that is when she set my expectations of what could happen. I really appreciated that rather than her tell me that everything was fine, only to have me miscarry and then me taken totally off guard. So, when I did miscarry I was not totally a wreck b/c she had set my expectations already. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

I had a u/s done at 6 weeks and my sac was empty and I had pa__sed a few blood clots. But it was nice and round and my hcg's were still rising and the dr said everything was fine and that I had no signs of a miscarriage. But a couple weeks later I went back for another u/s to get an exact date of how far along I was, and my sac had collapsed and I ended up getting a d&c last dec. I hope this is not the case for you. Good luck with everything!

Well I was feeling pretty good.....until I went back to work today, I started cramping and started to bleed and clot again, not a lot, but enough to hurt. This is a emotional rollercoaster. The doctor told me that not to even come back unless i'm bleeding majorly and won't stop. that makes me feel real good, knowing that my next appointment isn't untill april 27, and I don't know from day to day if the baby is still in there. Oh, has anyone had pain around the bellyb___ton, like a pulling sensation from the inside?

OH I forgot to ask, Ive never had a miscarriage, can you guys let me know what to expect? how much bleeding is there, and how long does it last?

hi, i'm somewhere between 6-8 weeks. had some light spotting...called the dr. and was told to come in for an u/s. dr.told me, and i saw an empty sac. i have another u/s this week. still very light spotting. so afraid, but can only pray for the best and i pray for the best for you.

Lisa, how far along were you when you had the first ultrasound? I am going through the same thing right now and have to wait another week to try an u/s again. My Hcg is high, and there are no other symptoms of m/c, I am hopeful but just like hearing about others happy endings. Thanks

Stacy- I have had 2 miscarriages. The 1st much worse than the 2nd and I think it was b/c w/ the 1st one I was farther along than the 2nd. My 1st miscarriage was at 10 wks. It was very painful. So bad that you cannot even stand the pain. I have a son that I went through labor w/ and I think the m/c was worse. I think it is b/c it is over so quick and the pains are so intense. When I had my last m/c 8/05 I bled a ton! I literally sat in the bathtub for 3 yrs and could not get up b/c blood was pooring out of me. When I went to stand up I almost fainted from the amount of blood loss. I thought I was dying, literally. I was scared to death and the bleeding would not stop. In the end I was just relieved to be done w/ it so that I could move on and start trying again ASAP. Now it has been almost 8 months and still not pregnant. Today is day 38 since lmp. Negative pregnancy test as of yesterday still.

Sally I was on my 8 weeks my U/s they couldn't see anything in the sac. But I was hopeful Because I was feeling all the symptom of being pregnant. The doctor in NE told me things are not looking good specially the HCG are not doubling. I'm a military wife when I went back in MS. I made appt. to check for the baby and sure enough there is my little peanut not flicker heartbeat but a very strong hearbeat. The following month after that we did another u/s we saw our baby just swimming around:-) So please ladies believe in GOd and he will not let you down. Miracle still happens even to this day! GOd bless!! i'm due to have my baby April 30th. I was once on everyones shoes scared and hopeless at one point but I changed all that to believing there is a baby in there! Here Iam going on my 9th month take care ladies all of you are on my prayers.

Carolyn- Thanks again for the info. I'm hoping this is not going to end up in a m/c . I found out today that the baby's heartbeat was only 90 bpm, witch is kinda low. The tech told me differant, but you know I think she was trying to make me feel better, but i'd rather know the truth. My best wishes to you Carolyn, I hope you have a positive result soon. I have pretty much came to the conclusion that it is in gods hands now, no worring or crying is going to change things, just make it harder on the baby, so i've got faith, and I know god knows what he's doing....there's a reason for everything, but that don't make it any easier.

Stacy-I agree w/ you 100 %. Good luck with everything. Keep us updated on your progress.

hi everyone.. I am in the same type situation right now. I am 8 wks today from lmp. I had first US @ 6 wks 6 days, ges sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole. Today he saw what might have been a small fetal pole, but still no heartbeat. He didn't sound too optimistic. He says I probably have a blighted ovum. I am so sad and confused right now. I just don't know what to think. He scheduled another US for 10 days away, saying we should know for sure then. Then I should think of a D&C. I just don't want to rush into that, I think that it would pa__s naturally wouldn't it ?? If there was in fact no baby developing ???

Chas- Let me tell you something hun, there is a huge possibility that you have the days wrong or something, if you look up i was in the same position exactly. they decided to do one final u/s and then I needed to concider a d and c. I went back and lord and behold there was a baby and a heartbeat. there is still a large chance I will miscarry, but I am keeping the faith, and yes, your body will miscarry if there is no baby, a d and c might still need to be done but don't be to hasty to do it. keep faith and believe you are pregnant, because techniqly you are. good luck and keep us posted. have you bled at all? any cramps?

Thanks Stacy.. No I haven't bled or cramped. God, I hope that maybe it implanted late or something. I know there are possibilities. I am praying. Thanks for the encouragement !

Hi girls, I just wanted to share with you something that I myself never knew but recently learned. Today is day 43 for me since lmp, now, I have tested and retested w/ hpt and all -. I did not know what was going on until recently joining fertility friends and learned that I did not ovulate until day 32. Not that this is the case for some of you ladies here but I had no idea that it could take so long to ovulate. Then it can take 5-7 days from ovulation for the egg to implant. So maybe the egg implanted later than one may have thought and it is just too early to pick it on u/s yet. Hope this helps!
