Spotting- need Prayers please - Update - It's a Loss

[mariacm]

I've been spotting since this am, pink and not a lot, but I'm really scared I might be losing the baby.  I'm going for an ultrasound tomorrow.  I would appreciate your prayers in the meantime, that the baby will go to term.  Thanks... I'll update as soon as I know more.

Blessings and prayers mama! Jenny

I will be praying for you.

If it is possible don't go to the u/s alone. If things are not ok it is nice to have someone in there with you, if everything is fine it is nice to have them in the waiting room with you while you are freaking out.

Hang in there and keep us posted.

prayers for you Momma!

Thanks, ladies.  DH is coming with me, I'd need him for DS anyway and he and I want him to be there.  MW said it's a 50/50 chance with spotting in the first trimester.  She said possible causes are miscarriage, placental bleed that then clots off and is fine later, or cervical bleed from irritation like with BD'ing (def not the cause, given our lack of lately!).  So there's hope, but I'm so freaked out and scared it's a loss. 

We got pregnant on the first try this time, and that was so unlikely given my cycles, so it really felt like this baby was just meant to be at this time.  Now I'm just confused and counting the hours til the sono and hoping to God that there's a heartbeat.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts tomorrow. I hope everything turns out okay!

I'm having the same problem and have an ultrasound tomorrow myself. Stay strong, our babies need us to be!

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts.  I went for the sono today and they found a yoke sac that measured 6w4d and a fetal pole, but no heartbeat.  No heartbeat is normal for that size.  However, I should be 8w1d, and the HB should be obvious at 8w.  The radiologist and the MW said it could go either way at this point, maybe we just aren't as far along as we thought and that's why there's no heartbeat and it's just 'normal' insignificant spotting (from a small subchorionic hemorrhage).  But unfortunately that seems very unlikely.  I charted and can't see how I could be wrong about dates, given the temp rise I saw, plus I got a + HPT on 2/14, so must have been at least 10 dpo then, so that doesn't compute to less than 8 wks or so.

So, we did a beta hcg today and will repeat Wed.  If it goes up, that would be a good sign and we'd repeat the sono in 10 days and expect to see a HB.  If it goes down, then it's officially a miscarriage.  And of course if the spotting becomes bleeding then we'd know then.

I wish I had some hope at this point, but I really can't seem to find any given what I know.  Either way, I'll update once I know more either way.

I really appreciate all your support.

mariacm, I am so sorry that you are going through this. It really it awfully hard to be uncertain, and not to see what you hope for. I wish you had seen good news on that ultrasound.

It makes sense to check out your HCGs, it should help you get clearer. I get what you are saying about the dates, though. It would be hard to see how you could get a positive HPT on Feb 14th and be 6 weeks now, so what you say makes sense.

I had an u/s last week after spotting, and although I should have been almost 7 weeks, the sac measured 5 weeks. The u/s tech tried to be encouraging that I might just be 5 weeks along... which would've meant I conceived that day I got my positive HPT. So, not really possible. I don't mean that your experience is the same as mine, or that the outcome will be, just that I understand what you are saying. It is so hard.

Please keep us posted on how you are doing, mama.

Hugs.
