I hope someone can help me,after my last miscarriage at 12 weeks,the second one,was in march i was put on high doses of folic acid and we became pregnant on our own after just one cycle we were'nt even trying because we thought it was immposible now with just one period (which was very short 4 days) april 8th i'm supposed to be 8 weeks but my second sono showed the same as the first 2 weeks ago :an embryo with a heartbeat a yolk sac but no growth the doctor says its likely i'll have another m/c will scan again in a week meanwhile my hcg keeps rising all my bloodwork is normal do they wait for the heart to stop beating or just keep watching.This is driving me crazy!I dont know i stand has this happened to anyone else?Please let me know.

I haven't had that happen exact, all I know is with my last pregnancy the embryo just stopped growing and living at nine weeks exact. Your best bet is to wait it out as hard as that may be, you'd never want to destroy a pregnancy with a live embryo, (That doesn't count for those who consider abortion) So you should probably wait and see:( I'm so sorry this has happened......

Hi alevdean. I've had this happen to me the last 2 miscarriages. I'd wait it out (I know how hard that is) and see what happens with the next scan, but no growth after 2 weeks isn't a good sign. I'm so sorry you are having to go through this again. With your last miscarriage at 12 weeks did you have slow growth as well? Mine always measured 2 weeks behind. One we saw a hb, but it stopped sometime before the 3rd u/s.

p.s. I was also put on high doses of folic acid for the last pregnancy but I just found out today that it miscarried because of a trisomy so I don't know if the folic would have helped or not. I know it is to protect against neural tube defects, but who knows...i hope to find out more in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks everyone for yor help and good wishes I'll have to wait it out until next tuesday I'm so dissapointed but its sad to say I tried to detach myself after my last experience I took good care of my health but was careful not to get to excited.Last time was a total shock everything was progressing so perfectly,we went for the nuchal fold translucency sono at 12 wks we thought we were out of the woods and we were devastated I'm a sono tech and just checked the baby 5 days earlier so I didn't believe the tech,the radiologist,the high risk ob/gyn,nobody!I don't know if I can trust my body to allow myself to bond with another pregnancy.At 7-8 weeks does it happen naturally or do I go another D&C?I don't want to go through that again.Dr. says odds are still in our favor I'm 37 is that really true?

Have hope, and think positive. As long as there's still heartbeat, there's still hope!

alevdean, i'm sorry you are going through this uncertainty and stress. did they tell you what the heartbeat rate was because that can be indicative of success. if worse comes to worse and you are going to miscarry, it might happen naturally or it might not. i had two missed miscarriages around 8 weeks. the first they said stopped developing around 6 weeks and i miscarried naturally 8 weeks, a few days after i found out from the scan. the second we had a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks and everything looked good but it had stopped by the next scan. i had a d&c that time because i didn't want to wait. the odds are still in your favour to have a successful pregnancy though unfortunately we have fewer good eggs at our age. (i am also 37). that means that it can take longer to get pregnant and we are more likely to miscarry than younger women. it sounds like you are doing just fine getting pregnant though. i really hope this works out for you - the rising hcg is a good sign.

hello i was wondering if any body has experienced what im about to explain to you and ended up having a healthy baby. well it all started when me and my partner had s_x 2 and half weeks ago.it was a tuesday night and by the wednesday morning i was bleeding slightly then on the thursday evening it got heavier.i went for a scan that day in which they told me the sac was measuring 4-5 weeks and that the sac was empty.they told me to prepare my self for a miscarriage they booked me in a week later for scan.I waited a whole week to miscarry but just had light bleeding. so went back a week later for scan and they told me they could see the sac and a yolk this time but was still measuring 4-5 weeks! she told me i was defo miscarrying as it had grown in a week. she told me to prepare for a miscarriage (loosing clots and will have some pain) well the funniest thing is 2 days after this scan i stopped bleeding and that was 3 days ago!!! im so confused if any body have any comments they could share with me i will really aprichate it, i have another scan booked for thursday coming up and not sure what to do if they offer d/c or tablets thank you xx
