I am about 7 weeks 5 days pregnant today and went in for my 2nd ultrasound as my first scan last week revealed I was only 6.5 weeks pregnant not 7.5. The fetal heartbeat was 104 on last weeks scan, everything looked good, and my husband and I even got ultrasound photos. I went alone for the ultrasound today and the us tech wouldn't talk to me or show me the screen. When I asked if everything was ok, she said she's not allowed to say on a follow up and a nurse would go over it with me. I found this odd and it made me worry. I waited about 15 minutes in the hall for a nurse. I was then put in a room and the nurse came in she told me she had bad news and that there was no fetal heartbeat detected. She gave me 3 options to miscarry, pills, a D&C, or wait. She said I could take the day to think about it and call them tomorrow. She had me get bloodwork before I left as well with the Dx of "spontaneous abortion" on the lab slip.
It was so hard not completely breaking down there. Sitting in the waiting room for almost 20 minutes waiting for lab work trying not to cry with red watery eyes really sucked! I just wanted to leave as fast as I could, I didn't even check out. My husband and I have been ttc for almost 2 years and I'm almost 40 years old. I don't know what to do or what to expect now. I feel like there could maybe be an error but then I think I'm just in denial. I don't have any spotting or bleeding, I've had cramping since 2 days before my missed period just about daily so no additional cramping. I guess if I could have seen the screen it would be easier to accept. Could there have been a mistake? And if not, what's the best way to proceed? Any advice would be appreciated! I'm just so sad right now.
