Hi,
I am 42 years old and on April23 I did a home test and found I was 5-6 weeks pregnant. Went to the OB and she did a test and confirmed and then did a scan and found nothing and said it is too early.
Went on May9-supposed to me my week 7 and she did a scan and showed a sac with foetal pole showing 5 weeks. She said the shape of the sac is good and could be I ovulated late. She also saw another round dark thing(she susptected bicornuate uterus but I said no ways as I have had 20 ultrasounds done earlier to my pregnancy and it was a retroverted uterus only. I even asked her if it could be another sac or a fibroid). She said we will leave it for now. She never did any blood test.
She asked me to come for a scan 2 weeks later which was this Friday (week 8 as per me). I went all excited expecting to see a heartbeat and she gave me the shock saying it is a failed pregnancy.
She said there is a irregular sac now and it is blurring. This sac is still showing 5 weeks which means it is not growing. The second sac was more clear and was close to it and was empty. She said it does not look like I have a bicornuate uterus.
I am given 3 options
Option1 - wait and have a natural period to flush everything out -risk is infection could develop during the wait period.
Option2 : take meds and within 4 hrs everything comes out. Risk is something left and I need a D&C
Option 3: D&C which in worst case could impact the uterus.
I said I wanted to go for Option 1 and 2 after taking a second opinion/scan.
Can you ladies please help in the option to choose. Is there a big risk in waiting for the natural period.
I am so upset and then the tension of deciding on an option. Did anyone face a similar scan situation like mine?
