7.4 weeks no heartbeat

[Nataliej87]

I am 7.4 weeks and I had a pink hue that lasted 2 days with no pain at 5 weeks.
i was prescribed utrogesten 400mg daily from 5 weeks.
at 7.3 weeks I had some rust coloured discharge that lasted a day and this concerned me enough to call early pregnancy unit and they booked me in for a scan today.
i had the belly ultrasound and transvaginal scan and the nurse could not find the foetus heartbeat.
i am booked in for a second check tomorrow and if the same outcome I am booked in for a removal on 7.6 weeks.
my question is has anybody else had the same happen to go on to have a full successful pregnancy?
my instincts are strong and I feel like maybe it was too early to detect the heartbeat.
do I wait for another week or so to have another scan??

Just wanted to pass on my sympathies. I lost two babies at age 40 and had my last one at 41 and half, it's tough.

I don't get pregnant easily and mentioned this to my consultant when I had a check up post my surgical removal. She prescribed letrozole which boosts ovulation and got pregnant twice using this.

Thank you hrf1503
I’m feeling a bit low today- it all got too much for me yesterday.I’m going to call EPU tomorrow but I’m dreading what it is they may suggest to do next.
tests are still VERY positive and it hurts like hell to keep seeing this when In reality it’s the kind of result many of us look out for when we WANT it to be positive.
I think I can feel my ovaries are active so my body is trying to claw back some normality.
I usually get the little smirtz so I’m hoping the pressure pain/ache is exactly that and not some more upsetting experience about to happen.
I’m reading that you can ovulate even if hcg is still present but then il find another article with conflicting evidence.so confusing what to believe.
yesterday I just wanted to break down and get away from all of this. But I have to find the strength to get through it.
thank you again for your lovely support and I hope all is well for you.💜

@Nataliej87 so sorry I've just seen your messages 🙈 don't worry I didn't write it very clearly! I'm back at the EPU tomorrow for a scan as still getting positives it really is mentally draining isn't it to see that second line when you know it shouldn't be there. Def give the EPU a call they will most likely blood test you over a couple of days to see what your level is doing then scan. That's what they have done with me. Big hugs some days really are harder than others with the mental load of it all xxx

Hi mummatara
oh wow I’m so sorry your going through this.it really is heart breaking.
im about to go and research the letrazole that lifehappens12 just mentioned above.
I do wander if this is any good for me 🧐
I didn’t get round to calling EPU today but I’m going to tomorrow. Although I have felt some pressure on my right side (ovarie) yesterday and today so I’m hoping that’s my body trying to ovulate.
should mean fingers crossed that I’m getting back to some normality.
thinking of you and hope EPU can find some answers for you.let us know how it goes if your up to it.(((hugs)))

will be back to update as soon as I know more too.🌈 X

Hi there lifehappens12 so sorry you had to go through that too. I’m about to go and look at the letrazole you have mentioned. I was put on the progesterone pessaries and I fear this only delayed the miscarriage so I’m so scared to take them again.although the research given on them im grateful for the medical breakthrough they offer to couples that suffer multiple miscarriages.
thank you so much for your message and telling me about the letrozole im about to go and have a read.😊 I like to learn even if it’s not for me.
take care 💖

@Nataliej87 well I had a bit of a nightmare at the EPU today and didn't get a scan 🙄 so the doctor couldnt really understand why I was there as I've had no pain or bleeding. She told me to do a test and if it was positive she would scan me but if it was negative she wouldn't. So nurse did the test barely gave it 30 seconds to process and said it was negative 🙄 I tested when I got home with a frer and there is a faint line there although much fainter than Fridays test so I think luckily it's almost gone. I've had quite a few scans at the EPU this year and they've never been done by a consultant doctor so I think they were very short staffed due to all the snow we've had and she probably got lumbered with an extra job. I'm hoping that AF might show in the next day or so as my temp has dropped below the coverline 🤞🏼 so unfortunately no answers at the hospital

Just wanted to pop back and wish you all well and good luck for the future. My mini rant is it feels like it is often so hard to get answers or the treatment needed for a miscarriage and the aftermath. So follow up appointment and checks should be routine not fought for through epu. With my first I there was a 6 day wait to see someone at epu which feels like eternity when you think you are losing a baby.

Lastly - I feel very lucky that I went onto have my next baby after my losses. He doesn't replace those babies but he is focus of happiness after some very dark days where we nearly gave up

@lifehappens12 ❤️❤️ your right it shouldn't be such a battle but sadly it is for lots. My EPU is usually very good and has been everytime I've seen or spoken to them but today they just weren't on my side guess that's lack of staff for you 🙄

Luckily we already have a DS and in the days I think can I put myself through it again I know the answer will be yes because he is a gift and I'm greedy and want more little people xxx

Hello ladies I have to come back with news.
so after an emotional time trying to manage and process the loss I finally got on a path of healing in January and eventually got my first period.
I was STILL getting faint (grey) lines on the tests (that I was told to do until it fully went away)
after my last period I finally tested clear and negative.what a relief.
but!! Around ovulation time (I get the mittle shmertz) and just for shits and giggles I wanted to test again.
back was that horrid grey line. Meh!

so anyways its valentines week and I was painfully ovulating. I was romantically wooed by my partner of course and it faintly went through my mind that I read online you can be super fertile after loss.
I quickly pushed that thought out as I didn’t want to face the disappointment of a negative test.
but oh my gosh I could not believe my eyes yesterday at 10dpo….I had 2 very definite PINK lines on the test.
I kept going back to the test so it would sink in and then presented the test to my partner.
we discussed the results and cautiously decided to re test on Sunday.
but I couldn’t help myself this morning and tested again.
and there it was.a very bfp. I’m 11 dpo and elated.
I can’t help but worry though.
what if I have to go through that awful ordeal again.
Iv already spoken to my doctor and I’m going for blood monitoring on Monday to check on hgc levels rising.and I’m on high risk care.
IF the bloods come back good next week the midwife is ready to take me on from there instead of waiting for the 10 week scan.
I most likely will be booked in from 6 weeks for the first scan.

im in shock and I keep looking at the lines to see if they are still there.

im 42 and a little scared but very happy.
it’s early days and I’m feeling impatient lol.
I want to pee on all the tests in the world lol.
like my dog marking it’s territory every 3 meters when we walk him.lol
SO il be back with updates. Keep your fingers crossed for me ladies and wish this a sticky little rainbow for me. 💖

The dried test from this morning.11 dpo.
what do you think ladies ??

@Nataliej87 gentle congratulations! That’s such great news and I have everything crossed for a sticky rainbow. Take care of yourself, pregnancy after loss can be so hard but it’s really good they’re monitoring closely and giving you extra scans. If you have any bleeding go straight to the EPU and ask for progesterone. That test looks good for 11dpo, I tested at 11dpo and it was much lighter so that’s a good sign. Keep us updated x

Awwww thank you hrf1503 ☺️
I definitely will keep the updates going 💖

@Nataliej87 hi, I know it is an old post, just wanted to ask how are you doing? I am in the same situation- going through mmc and age 😔

Hi TT82,I’m really sorry to hear this. Sending lots of love and strength.

unfortunately all three of my pregnancy’s ended in miscarriage last year.😔
my partner and i have had gene tests and further investigations are currently in place waiting for the results from Bristol.
i fear iv hit peri meno now though and a whole new roller coaster has begun.
its not unheard of to get pregnant still but age is fast up against me now.

thank you for your message.😊 I hope you are doing ok too.x

@Nataliej87 so sorry to read this! Lots of hugs and support ❤️
