6 weeks 5 day ultrasound no embryo

[Mintaroo]

As soon as my HCG levels are back to normal, we can technically start trying again. Ideally, my doc would like me to have a "normal" period again so they can accurately date my next pregnancy. They can't tell me when the "average" time for your next AF after a medically induced miscarriage.

On average, I think it's about four weeks to nine weeks? I was expecting six or seven weeks based off what my doctor told me last time around, but it was exactly 30 days for me, which was nice.

Does anyone know when things go back to "normal?" When can you start using OPK's again?

I read that you probably won't ovulate the first month after your miscarriage- but some women do. I skipped the OPKs and charting for the first month. Mentally, it was just nice to have a break, too. After my first period after the miscarriage, I ovulated normally.

Things will go back to normal after your first period. For me, it was four weeks and then I got pregnant that cycle (and then another blighted ovum.) Sometimes it can take a few more weeks than that. But your body will recover pretty quickly.



I'm sorry you are dealing with this, it sucks. I really hope things go back to normal soon, and that it doesn't hurt too much. (Heating pads help ease the cramping, and I think it makes the blood/tissue come out faster.)

Tomorrow will be day 4 hopefully the spotting turns into something more this weekend. When do you go the the fertility specialist?

Took the pills 1 hour ago and I don't feel anything yet!

My doctor told me 24-48 hours for it to start. But then mine started 3 hours after it was inserted. Good luck.

My doctor is referring me to an RE, and we did lots of bloodwork today to find out what's going on- two in a row is rare, so there's probably something going on.

Mintaroo, What is rare? 2 Blighted ovums?

Just to share my story- February I got pregnant with my first. at 6+4 we saw a HB, then at 8 weeks I went in for brown spotting and we discovered a 7+3 fetus- no HB. D&C at 9 weeks.
24 days later- AF arrived, and then that cycle I conceived again.
Had a bad feeling from day 1. Spotting started at 6+2, the next day (last Sunday) we went in, sac measured 4-5 weeks. Bleeding started that evening and I passed the sac.
I don't call it a blighted ovum because I saw the fetus/embryo. tiny as it was- I know what it was. Blighted ovum kind of makes it sound like there was nothing there- and we all know that there was.

I had really bad stomach pains earlier. Woke up from a nap and now I feel fine. Nothing has come out yet not even any blood! I have to take 4 more pills tomorrow if nothing comes out.

Yeah, two blighted ovums in a row is rare. Not impossible, but definitely qualified me for a trip to a reproductive endocrinologist.

We never saw a fetus on either- the first one, a yolk sac eventually sort of developed, but even by 8 weeks there was no fetal pole, let alone a heartbeat. This last time, the sac was entirely empty.

So I took miso 10 days ago I thought it passed (a huge blood clot) but my levels are still the same (4800) as it was when I found out it was going to be a miscarriage which was about 3 weeks ago. Waiting for the Dr to call me and see what I need to do next.

Oh, that sucks. You think you're going to need a D&C at this point?

I'm the opposite. I didn't think I passed it, no very huge clots came out, but my levels are down to 25, so the doctor says I probably did...

I went for my ultrasound at 7 weeks and they didnt see a baby just a sac and they told me I may have the dates wrong and everything was fine. That night I started bleeding. It turns out I was as far along as I thought. I wouldnt worry until I knew for sure but you will know if you start to miscarriage. It is the worst pain..

I had to take misoprostol a 2nd time! it didnt hurt at all because I was taking vicodin every 5 hours. Had my ultrasound the other day and the sac did pass. My uterus lining is pretty thick so I have to let it shed on its own. My hcg level did drop about 800 only 4000 to go. It's going to be a slow process. Just want everything to be done with so I can move on!

How many weeks did they measure you at? I was devastated when I was told it wasn't a regular pregnancy. I started spotting the day after I found out. After my body heals I want to get another IUI.

When I went to the dr the first time I was 5 weeks and 1 day . We didnt see anything then but the wall of my uterus was a 2.5 instead of the normal . .5. The doctor told me to come back in two weeks and that by then we would be able to hear the baby's heartbeat.

When I went into the doctor 2 weeks later they called me back and done another ultrasound and all they saw was the sac. They then told me it was possible that we may be off on the dates a little bit and that I was fine not to worry.. but I knew my dates were right on the money.

The night I came home I started cramping and bleeding. I called the dr the next morning and when I went back in they told me that my dates were prolly right after all and that I was having an unhealthy pregnancy .

It literally has been the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. I feel so angry and sad all the time. It was just about a week and a half ago we found all this out. I just dont get how such a precious gift could be taken away so suddenly especially from people who want children so badly.
