emergency scan @ 8 weeks : baby measuring 6 weeks, fetal pole but no heartbeat.

Hi Jess,

I am sorry but I don't share a similar experience such as this one but I did suffer a miscarriage my very first pregnancy.

My scans were always off in my pregnancy as well and my OB doctor went by LMP.

My first pregnancy ended at 10 weeks and was not viable since probably around 6 weeks or so, I was told that there was nothing formed and no heartbeat.  Nothing I could do I was cramping and bleeding in the hospital.  They did a DnC.

I proceeded to go on with my life and yes, it was hard but life goes on right?  3 months later I was pregnant with my daughter now.  During my research all the time prior to my second pregnancy I found that it is quite common to experience a miscarriage with your first pregnancy as it is your body going what the heck?!  It realizes after the pregnancy, oh that's what it was... and goes on to have a healthy pregnancy.  It is said that it is your body getting ready to carry a child.

You may have bad news next week.  It will be difficult but go on to try again, your body will be ready after a couple of normal periods. 

I'm sorry I don't share better news but my policy is it's better to be honest.

Hope this helps some and good luck.
