I had an early scan on Sunday, and even though I'm nearly 8 weeks, all they could see was an empty sac, no fetal pole and no heartbeat. Measuring 4 weeks, but there is no doubt about my dates.
This is my 3rd miscarriage in a row, and I am completely heartbroken and crushed. No idea where I will go from here.
They will scan me again next week to see how things are progressing. Since this has now happened 3 times, I think I will qualify for having tests to try and investigate why this keeps happening.
What do/can they test for? I want to go with specific questions, but right now, I don't know what to ask for. I really want to get to the bottom of this, even if it means to get any test under the sun.
I don't seem to have any problems falling pregnant, it's the staying pregnant, which appears to be an issue. Or actually being able to form a viable foetus...
I realise that it might well be my age (I'm 41), but then again, I had DS when I was 39, and lots of my friends had normal pregnancies in their forties. So until they can prove to me that my eggs are failing, I'm not going to put it down to that.
Should DH get any tests done?
Any advice/suggestions are welcome, right now, I'm really clueless.
