I am going through the same thing. I had my 1st ultrasound yesterday at 10weeks. They told me the there was no heartbeat and the baby was measuring 6weeks. My nurse midwife was basically like, we are going to prescribe some Criotec (pills that cause a miscarriage). She took a lot of blood test, and I asked her to check my hcg levels. I told her I wanted to wait and see. Sometimes we just accept everything the dr says but they are human and make mistakes like everyone else. This is my 2nd pregnancy in 7 months (the 1st ended in a blighted ovum and I had to get a d&c in Nov 07). I still have hope and my appt for my 2nd u/s is next week. I just can't accept this right now. My husband and daughter have been through too much w/ the first pregnancy loss. I am not cramping, there is spotting but I have been spotting from the beginning of the pregnancy. My prayers are with you all.

How did your situation end?
I had my first US on 5/30 and my Dr. could not find a heartbeat. I am 9 weeks and my baby on measured 6 weeks. I will have another US on Friday. I am so full of hope. Is it all in vain? My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 7 years. It can't be all over this soon.

Hi everyone, I'm 9 weeks and I'm terrified of having a miscarriage. I was prescribed progesterone pills last week and now I can't stop thinking about the possibility of miscarrying. Has anyone else taken progesterone during their first trimester? I can't get another doctors appointment until next month, would it be silly for me to go to the ER to see if they could find a heartbeat? Any advice would be so greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone,
I am totally confused as what to do, I had a scan on Monday and they told me there was no heartbeat. When I wipe there is brown, thin watery, what I can only assume as blood. But I am not convinced that they are right, I have the ERPC tomorrow and want to know if they will check for a heartbeat again to make sure?

they should and WILL- specially if you request them to do so..In the US it is standard procedure to do so. Good luck - and try not to stress too much ... i have been through this myself and although it is heartwrenching you WILL get through it- what is most important is to be supportive towards your signifigant other and ask he does the same...It helped me to know that most often when this happens it means that there was something not right with the baby and i would rather this happen early than have my child suffer as i too lost an infant and THAT is a complete NIGHTMARE. Years later after finally having another child I am all the more thankful for him and personally feel like my past experiances have made me more grateful than most for the blessings that i have.

It is NOT normal to not hear the babys heart beat. The other thing is that a fetus can continue to grow even after it has died. And another thing if the doctor can infact see the baby on an ultrasound to make sure of it's size then they should be able to detect a heartbeat. I hate to be the bringer of bad new, but in most cases if there is no heartbeat the baby is dead this happened to me I didn't even think I was pregnant just went in for a gyno appt they said I was pregnant and I had had a missed miscarriage they told me the baby looked to be 12 weeks they did the D and C I am now very happy to say that i am 18 weeks along with a healthy baby girl they could detect the heartbeat from 8 weeks (that's when I found out i was pregnant) and could detect a strong heartbeat every visit I have had

This is my 2nd pregnancy! I went for my 10 week appt. and was sch for an internal sonogram, the dr. could not see a heartbeat and that the baby was measuring 8 weeks. The dr. gave me the option of having a D&C i'm holding off untill i have some sort of sign that this pregnancy isn't happening i'm not in denial but i have to have hope. Dr.s are human and can make a mistake plus i feel great(no spotting, cramping Nothing!!!) i guess waiting and praying are the only things to do. I have a beautiful 15 month old, i have to be strong for her. My heart goes out to everyone who has lost a baby. And never give up hope. GOD BLESS!!!!

My wife and I went to the doc today for the first visit. Babycenter.com and others said fetus was 11wks +/- based on LMP, but her cycles have always been irregular. Fetus only measured at 8wks, and yolk sac was visible but doc could hear no heartbeat. She sent us to the radiology specialist who did both internal and external sonograms. Tech couldn't comment, but I was watching the screen and she used a program while looking at the ovaries that measured blood flow. It would flash colors with my wifes heartbeat. She used the same over the image of the baby, and there was no discernible activity. This would be our first child, and we have been trying for quite a while. She has had no spotting, or bleeding. She had cramping that she described as moderate just a few days ago, though. She goes for a follow up on Monday (Doc has already mentioned "removal" options, and I am just not sure if we should still have hope or not.

I am 8 weeks 4 days. I had a large gush of blood (non since that) and ran to the OB. He did an ultrasound and said there was no heart beat. I went back today expecting to plan for a DC but he found a strong heart beat. I am gettting bed rest and praying.
good luck all

I am 10 weeks exactly today and just had a vaginal ultrasound done and they couldn't detect a heartbeat. No pain or blood or cramps and the doctor wanted me to schedule a surgery quick. He said if I wait too long I might bleed a lot and risk endangering my health. But I refuse to give up. This is my first ultrasound and I want one at 11 weeks and 12 weeks to make sure. I don't want to end a life based on misdiagnosis. Am I being too hopeful or am I crazy?

I was diagnosed last Friday at 9 weeks to have no heartbeat. We had done an U/S at 6 w and at 7 w and both showed a strong heartbeat. The doctor only took 3 minutes of a TV U/S on Friday. I too feel she could be wrong. I am going for a second opinion before I let her do the D&C. I want to make absolutely sure this baby is dead before I let her remove it. You are not being paranoid. Go with your gut!!! Let me know how it turned out. I'm just a few weeks behind you. I am confused, hurt, and also hopeful. But scared all at the same time. :'(

Wow, I just found this blog and I totally relate. Its hard to hear from your dr there is no heartbeat when you STILL feel pregnant. What do you do I am so confused. This will be our 3rd m/c and its definately harder this time around. You want to have hope but its so hard emotionally to do it.

My daughter went through Invitro 7 years of trying to get pregnant. It worked the first time, she has had some spotting found out it was due to a Subcronic Hemmorage doctor said it should heal itself. At 7 weeks the saw a heartbeat and one baby he said heartbeat was a little slow. She went back today 5 days later he said it had split for twins but he couldnt see a heart beat in either. SHe has to go back friday for one more to make sure anyone head of anything like this.
