Heart beat found then no heart beat

I'd be so grateful for words of advice.

13 days ago we went to a second scan after being diagnosed with a large subchorionic hematoma only to find out the pregnancy hadn't progressed and no heart beat detected this time. My world crashed again, like a lot of women experiencing several failed rounds of IVF and a handful of deverstating early miscarriages.

They advised to stop the progesterone and as it has done before, would pass naturally. Not this time and the feeling the universe is really wanting to break me this time. Nothing has happened. The bleeding stopped, my boobs are still really sore and there are a few pulling pains as before I found out the heart beat had stopped.

I have another scanned booked for Tuesday which was planned to make sure everything had come away but now I'm going to have to tell them I want it done in hospital. Has anyone ever experienced a different outcome or that the hospital may have had it wrong. Or am I just hurting myself thinking there may be a chance they are wrong. Thank you so much for taking time to read xx

I'm really really sorry. This happened to me earlier this year and it's crushing. They won't have got it wrong sadly, there is no way they would have advised you to stop the progesterone unless they were certain. A heartbeat is also pretty easy to see or not see (measurements are much less reliable). It can be normal for the body to not process the miscarriage for some time. I eventually had surgery when I would have been nearly 10 weeks, embryo had stopped growing at 6, and I had no signs of miscarriage. Thinking of you and hope things can move forwards soon.

@SErunner thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I think I just needed to hear someone else say, the truth of it. I'm battling with my mind. I suppose its because I want it be wrong so badly. I'm so sorry you went through the same thing. There was no warning being a women without a child would be so tough. Xx
