my 2nd u/s - not so good...

[dutchgirl]

It didn't go great yesterday and I really didn't feel like posting last night. It's strange because there were some discrepancies in what I was told, the hand-written report, and the typed report. Basically, I was told that there was a week's worth of growth in the past week (last week the yolk was barely visible whereas this week it was much larger and plainly visible) which is also what was written on the paperwork I brought up to the nurses. Anyway, they asked me to stay and see my RE and he basically said it looked like a failed pg. The typed report he had said there was no growth in the past week. I told him that while I realized it wasn't looking great that I had been told something differently downstairs in the imaging dept. Anyway, he acknowledged that the written report was different and said that all we can do is wait. There is no heartbeat at this point so I have another u/s on Friday. He talked to me about my options as far as 1) D&C, 2) abortion pill (or whatever it's called), or 3) letting it happen on it's own. They say that I am measuring 5w3d which is right on the edge of when you would see a heartbeat. I am trying to stay positive and hope for the best but my RE says that it is unlikely that this will progress to a normal pg. Based on when I think I o'd and when we had bms I would have thought I was closer to 6w3d. I am not sure if later implantation would make a difference here or whether I am just kidding myself.

Ok, that's it for the novel. I know I will be OK either way it's just this roller coaster ride that is making me a little crazy. Thank goodness for my DS. This would hurt so much more if I didn't have a child already.

Thanks for listening.

edited to add: for anyone who has been through this I could use some advice on d&c vs. natural. I am leaning towards the latter if it comes to that. Pretty sick of doctors, hospitals, and procedures at this point.

Lisa,
I'm truly so sorry and I know how you're feeling. Right now I feel like I"m waiting for the bottom to drop out myself. I know that you know my history, and I'm a few days behind as well which I'm also hoping is due to late implantation. I'm considered 6 weeks today, don't really feel any symptoms, and my next u/s is on Monday when I'll know if the sac grew or not.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this and I'm hoping for a miracle for you. As for D&C vs. natural, I m/c twins at 7 1/2 weeks in Sept. and had a D&C and a hysteroscopy which was to remove extra placenta that was still inside me. Although I hated doing them, both were not bad and at least then I was able to move forward a little sooner, rather than waiting for it to m/c on its own. But that's me. You need to do what's best for you! I'm so glad you have your DS. I have no children and this loss for me again would be a huge blow!!

Thinking of you and wishing you the best!
HUGS, Jen

So so sorry Lisa. Thinking of you this weekend and hoping for the best for you.

So sorry to hear that Lisa, but I wouldn't give up hope yet. My aunt just went through a similar experience and is now almost 14 weeks pg with a healthy baby. They were all ready to do a d&c on her too.

I hope it won't come to that, but I've had natural m/c's and if I had the choice, I'd do a d&c. Although, I was further along. But, lets try not to think negative like that.

I hope this all works out for you.

Lisa,

I am sorry for your news but wanted to share this website with you ... I was diagnosed this week with a blighted ovum, and after doing some research decided to wait it out a little longer. The website is called "the misdaignosed miscarriage".. there are several stories on there regarding misdiagnosis. You are pretty early , so it wouldn't hurt to wait.. however, I know waiting is painful.. I am doing it myself now. But for me , it's what I have to do to put this to rest.

I will keep you in my prayers.. praying for a miracle.

God Bless

I forgot to mention that I have trouble getting onto the "the misdiagnosed miscarriage " website directly,, I usually have to put it into the seach bar of Aol and then get on the site.....

It really is worth checking out...
