My wife got pregnancy test positive, which she actually did it several times so it's not likely to be false positive.
Then we scheduled an OB ultrasound appointment yesterday (it was approximately 7 weeks since her last period).
The examiner first told us that since it's still early, it's possible that the embryo is too little to have heart beats yet.
Then the examiner just did her job, without showing us the monitor so we didn't know what she had seen. She took several pictures and then told us she needed to show it to the doctor and get back to us.
After a while she came back and told us it was a miscarriage, and that the embryo imbedded at a position near the cervix and based on the size of it, she was expected to hear heart beats but there wasn't any. So they concluded it's not likely to survive and there could be a miscarriage.
We didn't fully understand all these when the examiner told us this since we are not native English speakers and there were so many medical terms involved.
But then we thought of one fact: my wife actually has a uterine myoma near her cervix; this was something we were told before pregnancy when she did OB ultrasound in Taiwan. That's also something the examiner didn't ask and wasn't shown in my wife's medical record here in the US.
Is is possible that the examiner might have thought the myoma was the embryo and expected it to have heart beats? And that the actual embryo was good but still too little to have heart beats?
So far my wife hasn't experienced any bleeding or any uncomfortableness.
