Good evening ladies,
Thank you to everyone who left me the ticker info. I'm going to try to post mine. I love checking on everyone's timeline.

Ajdec, the same day that you're dog stepped on your stomach, well my sweet Golden did the same thing. Of course, I worried for awhile and then I was ok. Crazy, that happened on the same day.

Hope everyone is doing great. I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow. The bleeding and clotting finally stopped. I don't have any nausea, but I'm always hungry and eat too much sugar. The other night after work, I went to the grocery store just to get those variety packs of cereal with fruit loops, sugar smacks, coco pepples. I don't even let my 8 year old eat any of those. I'm SO ready to find out what these babies are. Anyone know when we should be able to tell?

Hello All,

Very sad to report that I had my u/s yesterday and could not find my baby's heartbeat

...I was supposed to be 10w3d and baby only measured 8w6d. My RE suggested doing a D & C. Needless to say, I am DEVASTATED. I found the Misdiagnosed Miscarriage website and that coupled with the fact that my husband and dad are in denial prompted to to seek a second opinion. I go to see an ultrasound specialist tomorrow morning and he is supposed to have the best equipment in town. Im not having any cramping OR bleeding (but of course Ive been taking progesterone shots all this time). My heart is breaking right now thinking of my little bean and what is happening but all I can say is that God is in control, whatever happens I know He is in control. Best of luck to all of you ladies...God Bless you all.

Heisable,

I am so sorry to hear about your ultrasound. Needless to say it is bringing tears to my eyes right now

. I don't know what to say except I am truely praying for you and your baby right now. Please get your second opinion because you never know. I have heard several women who said their RE or OBGYN's couldn't find the heart beat and recommended a D & C. In fact, I remember reading one on our site that got a second opinion and a week or two later and they found the heart beat!

Please keep us updated because we really care about you!

Angela

hello everyone,

how are you guys doing? i hope things are well.

i was wondering whether any of you have thought about getting a fetal heart monitor to check your baby's heart beat at home.

heisable: i so hope you got good news on your second scan.

best,

pumma

A fetal heart monitor would be great to ease the stress of not knowing how your baby is doing. But i believe most of them only works after 12 weeks. I am so paranoid right now. Every twinge or pain or spotting freaks me out. I wish they would allow u to come in for scans every week. I am going to ask my doctor is there is a way they can continue to reassure me.

Heisable: lots of prayers going u're way.

BabiesGalore - I guess I should consider myself lucky...my clinic does scans every week. I'll admit...it's a really nice reassurance. I think I'm going to miss it once I'm released to my regular OB. But for now, enjoying every time I get to hear that little beat.

I am extremely excited to have my 8-week scan tomorrow. I am praying everything will go alright. I have done some research about the fetal monitors and I have decided to purchase one in a few weeks. I know I panic and I am constantly worried everyday that my baby is doing well.

This is a web site below that I found that said their dopplers starts to pick up heart beat between 8 and 12 weeks.

Take care everyone,

Hello All,

First of all I would like to thank you all for your thoughts, kind words and prayers. The support you receive on this board from people that you havent even met in person yet is amazing!

I had my second opinion u/s yesterday and sadly, the baby was still the same size as he was 2 days prior and still had no heartbeat. So it is over

....according to the size, it seems like his heart stopped about 2 weeks ago. I am not having any real cramps and no bleeding yet. And I still feel pregnant....nauseated and my boobs are still real sore. On the Misdiagnosed Miscarriage website, they say get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinion before you do a d & c. Many people that post to that site said that they were diagnosed with blighted ovum, only to hold out and get more and more scans, then the baby appears, caught up in size and with a heartbeat. My case is different though....I saw the heartbeat 3 different times and then at my last two scans (which were two days apart) nothing. I dont think I want to get 3rd and 4th opinions, I need to have closure and move on....but part of me, the part that still feels pregnant is saying "what if?" Im very confused and sad right now. Im not sure if Im going to get a d & c and be done or wait it out till my body does it naturally. Either way, I feel like crap and dont feel like even getting out of bed in the morning. My 12 year old son has been a big support to me and he gives me a reason to....my husband is so sad, I feel so sorry for him, this was to be his first biological child. My husband bought me an English bulldog puppy (I've wanted one my whole life but could never afford one). She doesnt take my pain away but she does distract me and make me laugh. She is sooo cute and I think she knows Im hurting because she hasnt left my side since she got here. I may be back....I am thinking about maybe trying another cycle sometime next year. Need to rest and heal first and then Ill decide...I was such a poor responder but each cycle is different and I will probably go to a differenet RE and try a different protocol. Even thru all this, I still feel that God is in control and that he has a plan for me...for all of us....Good luck to all of you June mommies, I wish I was still one of you. God Bless you all and Best Wishes.

Heisable= HE IS ABLE (God is able)
