Well unfortunately I now find myself in here I went for my 16 week prenatal on May 19th and my dr couldn't find a hb. I went back on May 24 to see if she could find it then and she couldn't. I was then sent for an HCG blood draw and an u/s was being set up.... I decided to go for a private scan later that night and on the screen they couldn't find a hb either. I was then sent to the ER to see if they could find out what was going on. They tried through Doppler and also did another round of blood tests. I was scheduled for u/s the next day at noon. Got to the hospital at 11:45 and they said there was a scheduling issue and I couldn't be seen until about 1:30. So they told me to go to the other desk to give all my info and then wait. At that moment my dr called and told me my HCG levels were down to 4000, where as at that point should have been up as high as 254,000. I instantly started bawling even though I already knew in my heart it was over. I sat down in the waiting room and completely fell apart. The admins there came and said they were going to move me to a private room so I didn't have to sit and wait in a room full of people while I was bawling my eyes out. They put an immediate rush on my ultrasound and the tech came in and did they u/s. A second tech came in right after to double check, then they looked at me and told me this was a pg that has stopped developing and left the room leaving me and my husband time to accept the news. I was scheduled to be at the hospital for my D & C for 7am the following day. I got there and they set me up and had me in pre-op by noon. After the surgery I asked to see my baby. They didn't want me to see but I insisted and saw my baby in a huge container filled with blood and baby was on the bottom I was home by about 6pm and began the grieving stage. We named our baby Hadlee Raye as a unisex name because they said they couldn't definitively tell me the gender. So on May 26/11 at 16w6d Hadlee Raye grew wings and brought me here.
