sad news re ultrasound (m/c ment)

Well, my 'what if's' came to happen :-(
No heartbeat.
Gestational sac measured 6 to 7 weeks, and I am 8.5 weeks now.
It also just looked emptier than it did last time :-(

I have an appt with my ob for Jan 2.. They called her office. She wasn't
in, but one of her collegues was She could see me right then if I
wanted I told them i would prefer to wait for my own ob. I didn't want
to go through my whole history with somebody I don't know. I figured
there wasn't anything they could do anyway

They were really nice. Expected me to fall apart, even brought me a box
of tissues, asked whether I would be ok to go home by myself. I was fine
though, or at least outwardly so.

I guess it just was too good to be true. This makes miscarriage #6 for this year.

Karen

Oh Karen, I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. I can't imagine the heatache and discouragement you must be feeling. I know of the pain and sorrow of miscarraige, and your post just made me cry. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Karen,

I'm so, so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. I've only had one miscarriage a few months ago and feel I'm still recovering.

Hugs and much love to you.

hugs...

Hugs to you...

I don't know what to say...so I will say that each time I meet another mom who is or has experienced loss, I think to myself that now my babies in heaven (1 baby and 1 miscarriage) and their angel babies have met...that brings a bit of peace to my heart.

Be gentle with yourself...

Big hugs and tears for your lost baby,

oh Karen.. i am soo sorry....

I am soo sorry.,.. I know this is every womans nightmare... I'll be sending you warm squishy feelings all day....

I know i don't know you "personally", and i don't know your medical history and i am by no means a dr or anything like that, but since this makes six miscarraiges this year i would seriously push for some investigation as to why they are happening.. Sometimes people have miscarraiges, but if you have more than 3 in one year your dr should be looking into why....Some reasons may include something called APS or anti phosolipid syndrome... It can cause blood clots in the placenta that can cause miscarraige... Some other auto immune problems.. and of course chromosonal abmnormalities...


I don't mean to sound preachy or anything, but i can't imagine trying to deal with 6 much wanted pregnancies ending in miscarraige.. So everything i have put here is out of caring, not anything else... I do hope you are getting the gentleness you need right now...

Warm Squishy Healing Feelings...

I am so sorry. One miscarriage was devistating for me--I can't imagine what 6 in one year must be like. I hope that you can figure out what's causing them and find a way to carry a baby successfully.
