Hi, I'm in a somewhat similar situation as most of you. I did a cycle of a combination of Clomid and Follistim and became pregnant in our first try. I had no idea I was pregnant because I got what I thought was my period then my RE calls to say I'm pregnant. My HCG levels have been more than doubling and my RE prescribed progesterone suppositories. Anyway...I had another episode of bleeding about a week and a half ago and thought for sure I miscarried but my levels were coming back normal and doubling.
Anyway I went for my very first ultrasound yesterday and my RE said everything looked good. He saw fetal pole, sac but no heartbeat. I am almost positive I am 6 weeks exactly yesterday because I had an IUI on 2/12. My RE said the baby measure the right size too. My RE didn't seem concerned at all not seein my baby's heartbeat. I am scheduled for another vaginal u/s next Thursday. I'm worried sick and can't focus on anything. I feel terrible because I have not been as dedicated to my 3 year old daughter as I normally am. I've read on different sites that not finding a heartbeat at 6 weeks is not a good sign while others say it can take up to 7 weeks or more.
I will keep you all posted, and wish you all good luck. I wanted to share my experience.

Hi, I feel like I am in much the same situation. We took a HPT on January 30 which came back positive (actually, we took 2). Last week I started having some light brown discharge when I would pee, which lasted about 3 days. I went for an ultrasound yesterday to find out what is going on. The doctor found 2 fetuses both measuring at about 6 weeks 3 days, and no heartbeats. We thought that we should be about 11 weeks along, and have not shown any signs of problems earlier in the pregnancy and all the other symptoms have been there. I am so confused, and scared. Could I have been carrying 2 dead embryos for the last 5 weeks without even knowing?

I just had my first ultrasound at 6 weeks 2 days - and we found placenta and gestational sac. We could see no yolk sac, so no heartbeat. My doctor told me that even now my baby has 68% chance of survival. I don't understand the 2% so early. He also seemed confident that we would see everything else needed next time but also predicted that the heartrate would like still be a little slow but by 8 week - 9 weeks if all continues at a normal pace = baby should be fine. Still not out of the woods, but I am thinking positive.

I've been reading posts like these to get some reassurance and finally decided to share my experience...because I got hope by reading stories of hope here. This is my story:
Did an u/s at 7 weeks based on my LMP and it measured approx 5 weeks. I was advised to check back in a week. I went elsewhere to get a new u/s a week later and got a reading of 5 weeks 6 days. The radiologist advised that there was no heartbeat and the fetus looked liked it had stopped growing based on my LMP, and that I should schedule a D&C and try getting pregnant again...these things happen all the time she said. My Gynae looked on both results and said it didn't look good, but then i questioned why there was development in fetal size over the week, and then he said, based on that, I should wait another week and do another u/s back if there is no bleeding and cramping. I was amazed that in just asking that question he had a different opinion. that week i had some brownish discharge that was a little tissue/mucus like, but it has stopped. I will be waiting 2 weeks before i do another u/s just to 'make sure'. I have to be praying and getting support from my husband and family. I wish things turn out great for us all!

I have the same exact problem. I started bleeding like spotting then like weird goeyness of thicker brown blood so i went to the hospital and they did a internal ultrasound and found a fetus with everything no heartbeat. He said I have a 50/50 chance because the heart could still pick up. Im so confused because i was supposed to be almost 10 weeks? They are going to check my hcG levels and see if they double. I'm still bleeding so im praying for the best

I know these posts were a while ago, but I'm now in a similar situation and looking for reassurance. Yesterday I was exactly 6 weeks (undoubtedly) and had a transvaginal u/s. By the size of my gest sac, the "machine" put me at 5 weeks, and there was no yolk sac or fetal heartrate. I realize if the machine were right, it would be normal at 5 weeks not to see yolk or have fetal heartrate, but I am most definitely 6 weeks (just trust me). Is it possible to be 6 weeks (exactly) and not yet detect yolk sac or fetal HR?
They scheduled a f/u u/s for 2 weeks away (an eternity). I also had blood drawn to get baseline HCG level, but don't go back for another HCG level until Tuesday (6 days), so I won't know if my levels are on track until then. Anyone with words of wisdom?

I recently had an ultrasound, the tech said it showed I was 7 1/2 weeks and no heartbeat. I knew the dates were incorrect, so before having a D & C I requested a 2nd ultrasound 4 days later....and there was a heartbeat! I had been told twice within that 4 days that it would result in a miscarriage, and I went with my gutt feeling that I knew my dates because I wasn't a 28-day woman. I'm carrying a perfectly healthy baby as of today and due March 1, 2010!

I just wanted to say that I too went for my 1st abdominal u/s today 9/10/209 i was told i was 6weeks 5days.... ok thats fine... The lady was not very informative and she said all that she could see was a yolk sac. nothing about a heartbeat...I saw no heartbeat. Im not scheduled to go back to the doctor for 2 more weeks. I feel so worried that something is wrong. i had some brownish dischagre at the 1st of this week, so that is really bothering me. I told her about the Discharge and she did not seem concerned. Does anyone have any advice that might be helpful?

I am in a similar position and am worried sick. I went in for an ultrasound today and according to my calendar, I should be exactly 6 weeks but the doctor didn't detect a heartbeat. She informed me that I had a 50/50 shot that my baby was viable. I scheduled another appointment for a week from today to see if a h/b shows up. Anyone have insight on this? Do I only have a 50/50 shot that my baby is viable or is just too early to tell? Thanks.

I am in the same position. I am told that I am 6 weeks and 4 days, and had my first scan today. This is my second IVF attempt.
The doctor could not find a heartbeat and the embryo measured a week smaller than it should have been. She told me to prepare for a miscarriage. Am totally devastated!

Two days ago I started having Brown dishcharge. I called the Dr. and they said at this point not to worry that it was normal. They told me to go into urgent care if any cramping and any increase in discharge. I ended up going to see the Dr. yesterday because the brownish discharged had increased. They did the ultrasound and the Dr. said I was about 6 weeks 1 day. According to my dates I thought I was 8 weeks 3 days. They did not see a heartbeat. The Dr. said sometimes it is too early to detect a heartbeat at this point. I have to wait 2 weeks to go in to get another ultrasound to see if there is a heartbeat or in reality I am really 8wks but the baby stopped at 6weeks. I know how all you ladies feel, and I wish you all the best. I hope to update this with good news. Try to keep positive.

I am so relieved to have found this blog, last Thursday (April 1, 2010) I went in for my 10 week checkup, my Dr did the ultrasound and wasn't sure what she was seeing so she ordered an ultrasound with a tech, she decided the transvaginal would be the most conclusive way to view my baby. She saw a healthy sac, a healthy yoke and a baby she determined to be 6wks 5days (crown rump length), then she said she couldn't find the heartbeat, I was scheduled to go back yesterday (April 8, 2010) for a follow-up ultrasound, still no heartbeat detected but based on the CELL the baby had doubled in size and I'm 1 week farther along, I know in my heartthis is a hopeful sign but the drs want me to prepare for the worst. Thoughts?
