Heartbroken

Went for my 8 week ultrasound today. The embryo was measuring at 6 weeks and there was no heartbeat. The most frustrating thing about this is that at six weeks, I had bleeding and cramping. They sent me for bloodwork, and because the HGC levels were normal for that gestational age, they did not do a follow up test to ensure they were not decreasing. Lesson here: advocate for yourself and don't be afraid to ask for testing. Sometimes it feels like I'm just a number to these doctors. Anyways, I'll be leaving this group soon. Good luck to all you moms

I’m so sorry to hear that 😢 scary to think about because I’m at 6 weeks and they refused to do any testing or US until I’m at 8 weeks, even though I had been drinking the whole time before finding out I was pregnant. I also have light cramping, they said it’s normal, but no bleeding. So I’m just sitting here anxiously waiting but trying to keep a positive mindset. I can only imagine how you feel but it’s not your fault and take all the time you need to grieve but just remember you’re still able to make another blessing in the future when you’re ready. 🩷 keeping you in my prayers 🙏

I had the exact same thing happen last year around this time, I felt the same way and just felt defeated, It took a couple months and the hurt is still there(always will be) but I promise it does get better and don't forget not every doctor is gonna be like that!

Omg! Sending you hugs and strength for your lost. I’m so anxious, because I had the same situation at six weeks… I went to the ER and they told me everything was ok (baby and me were healthy) the thing is I’m still bleeding and 3 days ago I started bleeding just red. The other days were brown but lot of discharge. They made all the test but when you mention about it… which exactly test do you mean… I’m sorry I’m not an expert in the language and I would love to know. I have my appt with the obg next Tuesday but now I’m so scared. 🥺

Thank you @Kaylyn please don't be too worried. Cramps can be very normal as our uterus grows. Also i didn't know I was pregnant with my first for a few weeks and I drank. I was worried about so many times throughout my pregnancy because of it. But she's the smartest 15 month old I've ever known. No developmental issues whatsoever. And had an awesome pregnancy with her. I'm sure you are fine. But if anything changes let them know how concerned you are and get bloodwork done

@Katherine the bloodwork in referring to is a blood test that looks at my hgc. I'm of advanced maternal age too and I'm sure that increases my chances of miscarrying so please don't worry. When is your ultrasound scheduled for?

Thank you for sharing! 🩷
