Was Told That Im Having a Miscarriage Posted: 02-17-06 00:18am
:( hello, I went to my doctor on my
first visit and they told me that my due
date was wrong cause the baby was too
small but the heartbeat was about 105 to
come back for another ultasound in two
weeks. I went back on tuesday and found
out that my baby had no heartbeat and has
not growning since my first visit.They
went to take some test to check the hcg
level.Cause it look like I was going to
have a miscarriage.I went for the blood
test on tuesday and another one today now
they tell me that i'm having a miscarriage
even through i'm not showing any signs of
bleeding or camping.The hcg was very low
and they want to do a d&c.I dont know
what to think as this is my six
pregnancy.I never had a miscarriage
before.Both me and my husband are scared
and worried and under how did this
happern.We dont know what to think.Should
I go ahead with the d&c or get a
second opinion?
Sandy :(

Well... I doubt a doctor would lie to
you about something like this. Were you
watching when the ultrasound was
performed? Did you see the heartbeat?
I'm so sorry. I have been in your shoes,
although I was already having symptoms
when I went in for my u/s and hcg level
tests. You could always go back and have
your hcg levels tested again to be sure.
How long did they search for a heartbeat?
Depending on how far along you are it can
be difficult to detect. However, if your
levels have not changed or have dropped,
miscarriage is imminent. If you had a
viable pregnancy they should rise at a
rapid rate. Again, i'm sorry and good
luck.

Yes I was watching and no they couldnt see
the heartbeat moving all they saw was this
very small baby.They couldnt even tell me
how far along I was cause of how small it
was.They found it on the first visit with
out any problems. I was in u/s for over
30 mins.All I know is my hcg is very low
and I am having a miscarriage.When I dont
know for now I have no signs.
She told me I could wait till I start
having signs or go ahead with the
d&c.
