What to Do - Us No Heart Beat Posted: 02-04-05 03:09am
Hi I went for my first dating ultrasound
on 27/1/05 and they saw the gestational
sac, yolk sac and fetus but no heart beat
the outcome was that I was 6w 2d. My
blood showed that I was ok. Today 4/2/05
I went for my second u/s and still no
heart beat and no feotal growth since last
week. I do not know the day I concieved
so I cannot work this out. Afterwards I
saw my gp and she suggested I get a
d&c. What do I do? Is this correct,
that I would have miscarried or is there
still hope.

Hello hun,
i have been through this before. I got
pregnant and there was a sac and a tolk
sac everything was there, but no baby at
all.. It is very hard and I understand
what your going through. They kept doing
my u/s every week for 3 weeks and still
nothing. My doc. Told me that this
happens and what happened is the baby
didnt develope.. You need to get the
d&c though because the sac and stuff
will continue to graow as if there was a
baby in there. You could always ask for a
couple more weeks just to feel safe.. And
see if anything develops, but more than
likely there wont be. Im sorry for your
loss hun I def. Know how you feel. But
on a brighter note just for your info. I
had the d&c in nove. And I was preggo
again in jan. And I have a healthy boy
even though he was a premie.. Good luck
to you and dont loose hope. If you need
to talk im here

I don't know nothing about miscarriages
but sounds to me that you did. But like
tazzy d said ask to have a couple weeks to
see if anything develops.

I'm so sorry to hear about your news. I
had this happen to myself several times,
and it's heartbreaking. I found out I
was preg. With twins. When I had the
ultrasound one of the sacs looked fine,
but the other was tear drop shapped, and
they told me I may lose that one, if not
it would have problems. I went back a
week later and the tear dropped one was
gone, but I never passed it, and the other
had no heart beat. I had to have a
d&c. Several months later I was
preg. Again, I had ultrasounds weekly
just to check on the fetus. One day
again, no heart beat, I had to have
another d&c. The doctor did test on
me to see if there was a reason I was
having miscarriages, but all the test come
out neg. Years later I had to have a
hysterectomy due to endometriosis, and
they Dr. Said that was probably the cause
of it. I know it is hard, but remember
god lets everything happen for a reason,
even if we don't understand why.... Good
luck and my prayers are with you. Let us
know how you are
