No heartbeat detected at ultrasound

[BC11]

Hi all,
I went for a private scan yesterday thinking I was approx 7 weeks + 6 days. It’s been measured at 6 weeks 5 days and no heartbeat has been detected. Has this ever happened to anyone else, and has anyone ever had a successful story? I’m confident it must be a missed miscarriage. I’ve had no symptoms but my tender breasts have eased a lot now too. ☹️

@BC11 @VenusStarr I'm almost done I've been in hospital since 10 am and the baby has passed ( it's got the cutest little grin on its face) I'm just waiting on the placenta then hopefully I can go home. In comparison to last time they have made it such an easier experience this time in every way. They've been amazing ❤️ and thankyou both for looking out for me xx

@Furbabymum15 I’m glad that part is over for you. Do they cremate it and give you the ashes or is that your decision? So glad they’ve been a lot better with you and you’re having the best experience possible in these circumstances. Thinking about you xxxx

@BC11 they've preserved it in fluid I think they're going to examine it to see if anything is found as to why it happened again x they've given me a memory box ❤️

@Furbabymum15 that’s good that they’re examining it. Aw that’s so lovely! 😭 I’m really glad you’ve had a better experience. I hope you can get home soon and rest xxx

Hi @Furbabymum15 how are you feeling today? Xx

@ BC11 hi thanx for keeping in touch.....I've just got home now I had to stay overnight. My belly really hurts but I'm glad it's all over xx how are you feeling?

@Furbabymum15 Glad you’re home now and the hospital part it over! Look after yourself and rest loads. A hot water bottle helped me a lot. I’m just really emotional the past few days but I suppose that’s completely normal! Xx

Hi, I’m new to this conversation and am very sorry to hear what has happened. It is a horrible thing to go through. I had missed miscarriage in August last year then a chemical pregnancy in November. My MMC was only picked up because I booked a private scan at 7.5 weeks to ease my anxiety. I miscarried naturally at 11 weeks, this was the day before I was due to go in for medical management. I am now pregnant again, currently 8 weeks and I am terrified I will get to my 12 week scan and experience the same thing. I had a really sore chest and that seems to have eased off and only get a nauseous feeling now and again. I asked for an early scan and explained my concerns but it’s not an option at the moment. Also because of the Covid-19 pandemic I have to attend my 12 week scan alone. I’m trying to remain positive but it’s very hard. I don’t feel I can get excited and also we have not shared our pregnancy with family. We did this early last time but decided to hold off because we feel it would only add stress and worry for them xx

Hi @alex1407 it really is horrible that’s happened and I’m so sorry this has happened to you more than once ☹️. Congratulations on being pregnant now though! I have everything crossed for you that things go well. Try to remain positive (I know that’s probably a little difficult!). Is there any chance of you having an early private scan or is that not an option for you? I had to go to my scan alone too, which is really really difficult but ask someone close to you to wait outside so you’ve got support close by. I really hope everything goes well for you, I’m sure it will xxx

@BC11 Thank you for the kind words. With the pandemic I don’t think a private scan is going to be an option. My husband will come to the hospital for the scan appointment but we have been told he should remain in the car in the car park. I think the only thing to do is take it a day at a time and I need to stay off Google! I’m giving myself a list of things to do everyday to keep my mind occupied and hope for the best xx

@alex1407 yeah please stay away from google!!! I’m sure everything will be okay for you and I have everything crossed you have a very happy ending! 😊 xx

@ BC11 thankyou .....I've been rolling around in agony today, thankfully my GP acted quick to get me some dihydrocodeine. Hopefully it'll get easier from here . I'm glad you're ok it's a long road to recovery now xx

@BC11 yes it's perfectly normal to be all over the place emotionally x just cry when you need to and talk about it too x bless you,❤️

@ Alex1407 sorry to hear about your experiences it's all too heartbreaking but congratulations on your pregnancy. Please try and enjoy it I know the 12 wk scan is so daunting and I was alone on Friday when mine went so very wrong but I'm fairly sure you will be fine. We've all got to get our reward sometime soon x

@Furbabymum15 Hey. How you feeling? Hope you’re recovering well xxx

@BC11 I'm ok thankyou, I've not had the best week. I've been rolling in pain Wednesday and yesterday. I ended up back at hospital yesterday evening......they placenta was missed and was stuck at my cervix because it couldn't get through. They removed it last night and thankfully all the pain is gone xx how are you feeling Hun xx

@Furbabymum15 sorry I’ve taken a long time to reply! I’ve been up and down still. Getting there I guess. Keep having really bad times where I get myself really worked up, and I feel like I just don’t understand any of this or why it’s happened ☹️. Still bleeding and lost a blood clot today, but not big really so assume can be normal.

Hope you’re feeling a bit better. Always here for a chat xxxx

@BC11 nice to hear from you, bless you. I'm the same still bleeding and the emotional side is taking over my head is in a complete spin and obviously heartbroken. I hope there's brighter days ahead for us both. I'm always here if you need to chat. be kind to yourself xx❤️

@Furbabymum15 thank you. Same to you. Hope you’re feeling even the slightest bit better xx

I’ve reached 9 weeks and today I started to spot. Not much and only when wiping but in my heart I feel like I know the outcome. This is the same as my experience last year and I also feel like all my symptoms are gone. My husband thinks we should just wait and see but I feel I should let my midwife know in the hope they may offer a scan to confirm. I have another 3.5 weeks before my 12 week scan and waiting in limbo will be so hard. I’m not sure what to do for the best x

@alex1407 spotting can be normal and fine too! Can’t you book a private scan so you can have one earlier? Maybe speak to your midwife too, or the early pregnancy unit who might invite you in for a scan xxx

@BC11 how you feeling? I'm ok just glad I'm out of pain (well physically) bleeding is almost stopped. Just getting from one day to the next but we'll get there❤️❤️❤️

@Furbabymum15 erm, physically a lot better. Bleeding has more or less stopped.. just getting the odd bit of brown blood! Mentally, I try distract myself and keep myself busy but it just isn’t stopping me thinking about it all. I feel like I’m torturing myself a lot and I’m thinking a lot into why it happened even though I’ll never have the answers. Glad you physically feel a lot better, mentally it’s gonna take time isn’t it ☹️ xxx

@Furbabymum15 thank you for asking xxx

@BC11 how you getting on? Im the same as you questioning everything or asking what did I do wrong. Im finding it hard to accept I'm not pregnant anymore x on a plus note I think the bleeding will be has stopped so a few more wks off work then time to carry on 🙄 xx
