Well I went in for my ultrasound today they said all they saw was the gestational sac, no yolk sac, or fetal pole. The sac measured at 5wks 3 days which is pretty right on. The ultrasound tech was kinda grumpy and just said "I wouldn't really expect to see anything else this early." Then I had an appointment with the doctor he said that my hcg levels are doubling as they should and that the gest. sac is where it should be. He said that he is not worried that he didn't see anything yet and scheduled me for another ultrasound in 10 days. I'm worried that maybe he is just trying to make me feel better Anyone else have anything like this happen?

It does sound early so don't worry! We don't really have scans unless under special circumstances or we have paid for them over here until 12/13 weeks so I cant say but Im sure if the doc has said so, you have nothing to worry about xxx

Thanks. We usually don't have scans here either until about 11/12 weeks. I'm not really sure why he ordered one so early on me unless it is because I was on fertility meds so he wanted to make sure it wasn't multiples/etopic He said that he was going to do another one in 10 days because he knows that I am on some expensive meds now (lovenox-because I have a blood clotting disorder and have to be on this while pregnant, and progesterone supplements). He also said that because I had a MC in November he knew that I would worry and would want to see the heartbeat to know this was going to be an "ongoing pregnancy." I haven't had any bleeding or cramping so I am just trying to keep a positive attitude. The words of encouragement are helpful though

Sigh- Thanks its good to know that they didn't expect to see anything on yours and that they were surprised. When the doctor called me to tell me to go for the ultrasound he said "with your hcg levels we should see something" What he didn't say was that it would only be the gestational sac..lol. So as you can imagine I was freaking out when I didn't see anything in that little sac. Hopefully the next 9 days will fly by and I will get to see that precious little heartbeat


Sara- It's good to know that someone has been through almost the exact same situation. I hope your next scan goes well and you get to see that reassuring heartbeat. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Keep us updated

Hi Everyone,

Ive been lurking on here for a bit after posting my question about what we should see at 5 weeks 4 days at an ulatrasound (it was last week) - thanks for people's replies.

Have had an exhausting 48hours and would like to share and also get advice:

Friday at 5 wks 4 days the u/s showed gestational sack and some yolk. I was pleased.

Monday night at 6weeks 1 day I started spotting very lightly. Just one spot when I wiped and looked. Ive had a missed miscarriage before and this was how it started.

Tuesday night 6weeks 2 days I had the same thing happen - then it stopped.

Wednesday I really didnt feel up to going into work and only had two classes so stayed home - I just didnt feel right. At 2pm I started bleeding bright red blood. I took a shower, packed some things, and phoned my partner to meet me at A&E. By the thyme I got to A&E I was bleeding quite heavily and clotting stringy bits. By 6pm the clots had become dark red and almost the size of the bottom of a water bottle. By 10pm I had passed about 6 of these large clots. My blood results came back and the dr said that my HCg levels were high but that that could happen with a miscarriage anyway. So we went home.

At home I passed more clots and my partner and I resigned ourselves to the idea that I had miscarried. I texted a close friend and said that the only thing I could think of was if there was a hidden sack but that I was probably being unrealistic. Was going to have a big glass of wine but my partner said he was worried about the alcohol thinning my blood so I didnt.

This morning I went to the EPU and they did a scan. I said that I had been bleeding and passing big clots and they clicked their tongues sympathetically.

After what seemed like hours of silence, the sonographer called the dr over to have a look. The dr called my partner over to have a look, they then said that they needed to do some explaining.

There was the embryo that we had seen Friday...still intact! With a heartbeat!!! 144. Then in the other horn of my uterus there was a second embryo surrounded by clots and bleeding. There was a sack but no heart beat.

So, it was the second unknown embryo that I am currently miscarrying...probably...

The sonographer also found out that I have a biconical uterus..which means that theres a valley and a big dip (im still not entirely sure what that is and need to google further)...the dr said that this increases my chances of miscarrying the viable embryo (embryo 1) and that there will be problems with the baby's position.

Has anyone heard of a biconical uterus? As you can imagine Im on a bot of a rollercoaster of emotions here: I really thought I had lost the embryo we saw on Friday and altho I am sad to be losing the second one - I didnt even know it was there. Theres also a small part of me that wonders if maybe there was a third embryo and thats what Im miscarrying and if maybe the reason we didnt see a heart beat in the second embryo was because it implanted later...Im grabbing at straws arent I?

Anyway, thanks for letting me share...am cautiously optimistic but worried about my biconical uterus...anyone got that?

Thanks and best wishes,
Melanieanne77

I just got home from the dentist (it was horrible, ugh!) and my dental assistant is due May 31st, my DD from my loss. Crazy. Also, I clearly wrote on my form that yes, I am pregnant and I am due 12-20-12 and they still tried to give me x-rays. I asked "Is it safe for me to get x-rays?" They looked at me funny and I said "Well, I'm 7 weeks pregnant...?" Ah, no x-rays for me

 

[horseypants]

sam, close one with the xray. im concerned about flying to michigan (im in california) in two weeks and want to make sure i catch them before they try to use that sneaky xray machine on me in the security line...

melanieanne, not sure but it sounds like you should have hope! fingers crossed for you. you have had a loss, but also, you have a heartbeat. i understand how agonizing it all is, but hold on to the memory of that little flicker to give u some peace.

sara, my mom's a stylist and it's hard work i know. i'm having a lot of trouble hanging in there at work myself. i get so tired about halfway through the day and by the time i get home, im a mess.

hope everyone's doing ok today.

i am 8 weeks on Sunday too, Can't wait. It all seems to be going so slowly from this end. I keep thinking at 8 weeks hopefully only another 4 weeks of m/s lol... oh to be so lucky??? I know all the symptoms you are having - they are so tiring. I had a major migraine lastnight and had the shakes ALL night. OH got into bed lastnight and asked why I was shaking - I didn't know I was. I think a majority of it is being constipated and all the toxins (TMI).

 

[SpecialK]

Hi! I'm not quite sure about the biconical uterus, but I too was told I was having faternal twins @ 6 weeks. B was far behind A. A is doing wonderfully and I was assured that the loss of B would NOT affect A in any way. Try to keep hope They told me I would most likely start bleeding and cramping a bit within the week, and to not worry about the other embryo.
