Hi ladies!
So I need some advice... I went to see my Obgyn for my first appointment Monday, when it came time to find the baby with the portable ultrasound so we could hear the heartbeat my OBGYN couldn't find anything.
She told us that it's not necessarily a bad thing it could just mean the dates are off and we actually aren't as far along as we thought. She booked us for an ultrasound at the hospital right a way and sent me for blood work.
At the hospital they were able to find the baby but it's only measuring 6 weeks along and they couldn't find the heartbeat. My OBGYN called me later in the day to talk about my results and she said its really 50/50 still at this point.
The baby and gestational sac looked good and my HCG was where it should be for a six week pregnancy but the lack of a heartbeat and the fact that we are out by 6 weeks even though I was sure of my dates was troublesome. She said she doesn't want me to get my hopes up and she wishes she could be more optimistic.
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has gone through this and what was your outcome? If I had a missed miscarriage shouldn't my body have realized by now? I've had no cramping or bleeding of any kind.
I should mention it has taken hubby and I three years to concieve for the first time and my periods haven't always been the most regular, they are pretty off and on.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
