My mood while writing this blog: dissapointed |
heres my update..
im suppose to be 10 weeks tomorrow... my last period was december 24th.... i took a pregnancy test jan 27th and it was positive.... i go today to get an ultrasound... and they see a fetal pole, an embryo.. but no heartbeat--- by the mesurements, im 5.5 weeks along.. they cant tell if the baby stopped growing- or my dates are completely off.. i told them i went off the pill in november, and THOUGHT i ovulated the 7th of january.. was i completely wrong? i have no idea. can they see a heart beat at 5.5 weeks? i dont know. all i know is that im completely devestated. i went to the hospital and got more blood work taken. they never took my levels.. so today was the first time. they had me take them today- and are making me take them on thursday... and then they will tell me if they are going up, or going down. my dr gave me an exam after the U/s and told me my cervix is closed.... im spotting a tiny bit.... and we'll just have to wait and see.. he was very nice and sincere about it.. and while im very very upset, theres still some chance i still might be pregnant- but if im not, i'll have to deal with it, and try again. i know everything happens for a reason, and if there is a reason that this baby did not survive... its natures way of doing so.. thank you all for your well wishes and your prayers.. i will keep you all updated.
Amber

Wednesday, 4 Mar Oh hun, I'm so sorry, its possible you could still be but in your heart it sounds like you know. I dont think they can hear the heartbeat at 5.5 weeks though so who knows and the spotting could just be your bits inside you moving around - I will pray that that is all it is .. we'll all keep everything crossed for you, good luck on Thursday with your levels. x SunnyMom -
Wednesday, 4 Mar Hi Amber...I am SO sorry. I have been in your situation several times and can relate to the anxiety and sadness you are feeling. There is still hope because if your dates are wrong then they wouldn't be able to hear a heartbeat at 5.5 weeks. With this, my first successful pregnancy, I had an ultrasound at 8 weeks and they didn't see that I had a second embryo implanted, they only saw one! I miscarried that second one and then they picked it up on the next ultrasound....so it is early enough that they may have missed it. If the little one does miscarry then it would usually be a chromosomal abnormality that wouldn't allow it to develop into a healthy baby. It is never your fault I promise :-) Keep your faith honey because there is still a chance, OK? minkymoo78 -
Wednesday, 4 Mar Oh hun that is such sad news, I really hope you just have your dates wrong and that everything turns out fine xx blee71377 -
Wednesday, 4 Mar Amber... stay positive. It aint over until it's over. Let the doctors do their tests. Stay positive. I had a misscarrige at the beginning of February. I was supposed to be 10 weeks, but the baby stopped growing at 4.5 weeks. It's so important to stay positive or you'll go crazy. Wait until you hear from the doctor before you tell anyone. If you need to talk let me know. I've been in your situation... I know how you feel. You are in my prayers! =) KeepinTheFaith -
Tuesday, 3 Mar Hey sweetie, I just wanted to pop in and say that I have heard many stories of this type of situation lately. I personally went through the exact situation that you're in back the fall. My situation did not turn out well but I found a lot of comfort on a site that a friend referred me to. missedmiscarriage.com -- it has a lot of information as well as many many miracle stories. I'll keep you and your little one in my prayers. If you have questions or want to talk, feel free to message me. I tracked my progress in blogs if you want to read them. ((hugs)) sindi-and-justin -
Tuesday, 3 Mar ok so ... i read your blog and you should definitely be more than 5.5 weeks... my last period was december 21 and ended dec 24.. i ovulated around 4 jan and i conceived on this day as well. so you should be around the same time as me... HOWEVER... if you ovulated much later then there should be hope? They will not be able to see or hear a hb at 5.5weeks.. so if all is well that is fine. I hope everything turns out for the best. I am keeping you in my prayers navywife0407 -

Tuesday, 3 Mar K dont quote me but if I do recall the heart beat does not show at five weeks b/c it does not start beating til six weeks!
Either im outdated with info or the doctors are retarded!!! MommyRyan -
Tuesday, 3 Mar Oh my. aww im so sorry.
maybe you are just not as far along as you thought?
I will pray for you.
and please please please get 2nd opinion ultrasound if they try to give you d&c
at my first prenatal visit, doc did tansvaginal , and no baby was seen, nothing. 4 days later, went to ultrasound tech, and there was a perfect little baby. the other doc didnt insert wand all the way OR use gel.
if you really are 5 weeks, it may be too early. i had one dont in week 5 and they could see no baby , just a sac.
