I have just returned from the hospital, at 7w + 6d, after being told I had a non viable pregnancy and only product of conception could be seen. I know many ladies have had far worse experiences but I feel so sad. I had a small bleed no pain but went to just make sure. I have 4 wonderful children, this little one was a lovely 40th birthday surprise!I now have been told to wait for nature to take its course. Does anybody have any advice as to what I should expect? Thank you so much x

No advice, just a hug from me. Take care of yourself, it's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. Xx

So sorry for you. I was officially 7 weeks, although I think the pregnancy ended a week or so before. I started bleeding on Thursday, and it hasn't been particularly heavy, I had an evening of quite strong cramps, but it's all settled down now. I'm just emotionally useless now. <<holds Celosia's hand>>

Thanks Saggy - I'm sorry for you too. After 4 healthy pregnancies I'm so shocked that this has happened. I'm now clutching at straws because I found my gynea letter which puts me back a week - I'm hoping the doc just missed the little one on the scan. I've been googling like mad, crazy I know!

I hope you can begin to very slowly get on - it must be very hard I know. Big hugs xx

Hoping all goes well for you. xx

Moving over to this thread now! I always thought the 'product' was the baby. I'm absolutely no expert but I think that when they tell you you've miscarried it is either because they can't see a heartbeat (in which case you could get them to look again at a later date) or because they can see the embryo but it is clearly not normal and not going to develop. What exactly did they say? Do you have a number you could call in the morning?

Bless you Lady!!

I'm driving my DH nuts showing him possible evidence that the doc was wrong. The docs words were "at this stage I should see at least see something but there is nothing - apart from,I would think, product of conception. At this stage, I would say this is a non viable pregnancy". That was it. I've only had bloods done once which put me a week behind where I thought I was.

I have an appt at 8.30am tomorrow - I'm just going crazy now and want to go tomorrow feeling string that they need to do more tests!!!!!

Thank you x

Good luck for tomorrow - ask them very plainly what you've said here. I remember asking (after numerous appointments / scans) "but is there any chance it could still develop into a normal pregnancy?". The answer was no but I felt relieved that I knew for sure and could start to move on.

Thanks Lady x
