No heartbeat detected at 7 weeks

[TrickortreaT2]

Hi i apologise in advance about the long story but please read it all and i hope someone can give me some advice because i feel like nothing right now.. if someone who has gone through this or knows anything about this please respond

So two weeks ago i found i was pregnant.

The next day had an appintment with the gyno because of an infection ( bacterial vagonosis)

He said he cannot give me treatment yet, as its early days and medication isn't good for first trimester

He referred me for a ultra scan which was yesterday

The radiographer did my scan, she told me the feteus looka 7 weeks but no heartbeat has been detected

It could be a missed miscarriage, so she said they'll do another scan next week, to see if a heart beat is detected or to confirm a miscarriage.

Heres my question, i have irregular menstrual cycle. Sometimes my cycle can be 45-62 days long.

My last period was 9 weeks ago. Could it be possible that the placenta is bigger compare to the fetues because of my long cycle?

Can they get it wrong?

So far I've had no bleeding, no pain but
Discharge has been yellow for over a week and sometimes very light brown. I feel like my breasts are no longer eager to grow like they were before.

Im so scared and upset. My first pregnancy after a long time of trying.

trick I haven't got any experience of your situation.
Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you though. Sorry you have to wait for the next scan, I'm hoping you get positive news.

Thank you for your kind words keep me in your prayers please

Although i have my partner supporting me and family and friends but i just feel so empty and alone... i just feel like that appointment was a awful dream and i just want to wake up

Unfortunately I have been in your situation. It was a missed miscarriage, and I needed a d and c to deal with it.

Im so sorry to hear about your loss its really sad we look forward to something so much and then just withen a second its gone..
Whats a D and C?

trick just saw your post.
A d & c is an operation to remove the contents of the womb and can be carried out for a variety of reasons
I understand how you feel, even when you have good family support, it's easy to feel alone. I think sometimes you just go through the motions but your mind is in a tailspin. You can also say your worst fears online, whereas with family you tend to think about their feelings and this can sometimes inhibit what you say.

Fingers crossed for you OP.

OP.

I had this recently. I was 9 weeks by dates, the baby measured 8 weeks and had no heartbeat. At that stage the baby is big enough that there is no doubt when a heartbeat isn't seen.

I think being asked to wait a week and come back for another scan is commonplace, especially at very early stages.

The miscarriage association has an excellent leaflet setting out the options for a missed miscarriage if you want to start thinking about that. I had the surgery and was surprised at how physically easy it was.

Oh, and I had absolutely no symptoms of miscarriage as my body hadn't realised anything was wrong yet. I felt exactly the same as I had when expecting DD.

Thanks for all your replies. Im getting alot of brown diacharge?

That's what I had, and a dull ache like a mild period pain. When I went to the GP with these symptoms she was worried that I had an ectopic pregnancy and sent me to hospital straight away. The scan revealed a sac with no heartbeat, so I was sent down to theatre the next morning.

Im really sorry to hear about your loss. Im preparing for the worst as ive just started bleeding. I startrd bleeding last night i rang 111 who told me to go to and A and e but i dont see the point, i rather wait at home rather then a and e where id have to wait anyway. Im just going to ring gp in the morning and take it from there
