Hi everyone,
My husband and I have been trying for over two years and about a year and a half ago we found out he isn't producing sperm - we tried everything to reverse this including vitamins, meds, hormones, diet, exercise, surgery to extract sperm for IVF and nothing worked. We grieved the lose of a biological child and were in a good place to start trying with donor sperm. We did our first IUI and it was unsuccessful... we were crushed as I was really hopeful. When the second IUI worked, we couldn't believe it and were so happy. Then at about 5 weeks I started spotting and went to the hospital. They said that everything appeared normal but that it was too early to know for sure and to just relax and come back if the bleeding got worse. Five days later I went back to emerge because I was bleeding so much that I'd soak a heavy pad in 20 minutes or so and there were clots. They ran some tests and did an external ultrasound. I was told I am probably misscarrying and was booked in for an internal ultrasound for the next day. I went home devastated. I had never been more upset about anything in my entire life. The next day comes and I go for the ultrasound and more bloodwork and was told there was a normal healthy heartbeat (114 bmp) and that my baby measured 6 weeks and 2 days. I then went from bleeding back to spotting and have been spotting up until today... but it's gotten better as the days have gone on. I went in for another ultrasound when I was suppose to be 7 weeks and my husband came and we both heard the heartbeat - it was 115 bmp. They said I was measuring at 6 weeks and 4 days so that my due date would be three days later than what I was originally told. They said that everything was good and that the bleeding was okay... it was coming from a subchorionic hematoma which measured about 5x4x3 cm and they said that it should get smaller and absorb on it's own and to come back in a week or two to check on it. I went in yesterday at 8 weeks and 2 days and they told me there is no heartbeat and that the baby is measuring only 7 weeks and 3 days. I now have to go in for a D&C. I am devastated and cannot stop crying and thinking about this. I wish I still had some hope that things would be okay... they said that the tech I got is really good and would not mess up and that once I go from hearing a heartbeat to not hearing it, that that means the baby is dead. Has anyone gone through something like this?
