Hello all,
I am a returning user to BnB! Wish I was here for a better story.
After my son was born 4.5 years ago, I have had 3 miscarriages, with no real reasonings behind it.
Today I am 7w6d pregnant. Everything was going smoothly and I was experiencing no issues and still not having any problems. HOWEVER, I went in for my dating scan on the 19th and although it showed no issues, it also showed no heartbeat and the radiologist suggested, well actually stated, it was a failed pregnancy. Alright.
Immediately after I was sent down to see my OB (same hospital) and I spoke to him. His tune was completely different than the radiologist and was surprisingly optimistic that I was just earlier than we thought. Recheck in one week's time. Okay.
Today (22nd) I was having a lot of pain in my lower abdomen so I was advised to go to the ER since my OB wasn't in today. Blood work and another ultrasound.
Ultrasound showed me right where I was supposed to be at 7w6d but no heartbeat whatsoever again. HCG levels came back at 80,300 (doubled since the 19th)
I am no fool in thinking that this is normal because I know it isn't. This isn't my first rodeo and I just wish someone would give me a straight answer as to what it truly is, because if I had to put my money on it, I would say this pregnancy is not viable.
Just makes no sense that everything else seems to be so healthy and perfect yet..baby's heart never started beating.
Does anyone else have a similar story or what could have happened/be happening? I was doing some research and came across a blighted ovum or partial molar pregnancy and they both kinda seem like it could be the reasons.
If anyone else has any questions for me, feel free to ask! I have been through this so many times and I am willing to offer my advice to those that need it.
Thanks all
