Essnce any news? Are you ok and managed to get an appointment?
It's not looking good. I had bled through my shorts when I got home from picking up the kids at school. More small clots and lots of bad cramps and horrible back pain. :(Quote:

My regular doctor's office closed early today, but they want me to come in first thing tomorrow for a pelvic ultrasound. So I'll know then what's going on. If this is a miscarriage then there will be no other chances to try again as DH says he's getting a vasectomy. So sad. :(
I am soooo happy for you Steph that you heard girl! Congrats!
Im so sorry essnce. I will keep you in my prayers and hope this is nothing bad.
Omg essence...I am so sorry to hear this...hugssss
Oh that really doesn't sound good essnce. I'm so sorry xx

Oh essnce I am so so sorry to hear of this :( and of your DH as well, I can't believe he can be so insensitive!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little one. Please keep us updated x
Oh no! I am so sorry essence. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a little miracle. I know that even heavy bleeding can sometimes be okay. I'm sorry you are going through this :(
Essnce - I'm so sorry you are going through this without a supportive DH! I will pray for a miracle for you and for love and support from your DH.
Essence, praying for you and sending you strength and love xx

Thanks everyone for the kind words! It really means a lot. I did tell my mom today so she could know what is going on since I've been kind of distant (usually we talk every day). All my best friends know as well and have been super supportive.
I had my appointments today, but don't have much news, good or bad yet. My normal doctor was super nice and supportive and had me do another beta draw. She sent it STAT so I should have those results by the end of the day. Then she sent me for an ultrasound at a radiology clinic. The tech was super nice and she spent a good 30 minutes on the two different ultrasounds (abdominal and transvaginal). She was able to see the gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal pole but wasn't able to see a heartbeat yet. At just 6 weeks 5 days she said it's common to not always see it. She said for me not to worry and she didn't seem concerned at all. Reading online, it looks like they are just looking for the fetal pole at this point and within 3-7 days of seeing the fetal pole you should see a heartbeat. So maybe it's too early? Anyone else not see a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks but see it later? She couldn't tell me much and said the radiologist would look at all the images and then write up a report and send it to my doctor asap.
I'm still bleeding red a little when I go to the bathroom, but there's not much on my pad, just when I wipe. Still tons of cramps and back pain which occurred all last night as well. I can feel my uterus when I lay down (it's right above my pelvic bone, which is early, but I was the same way with DS2) and it's rock hard like it's in a constant contraction. I stayed in the bath for over 3 hours last night to help with the cramping and back pain. Then when I went to take a shower after I got really light headed, started dry heaving, and my hands and arms went numb. I dragged myself to the toilet and had a few more small clots. I pretty much got into bed after that and DH (who happened to be working from home yesterday) took care of the kids the rest of the evening. The cramps and back pain kept me tossing and turning all night, but I'm feeling a little better today.
I'll update when I hear from my doctor. Please keep sending me all the sticky vibes and positive thoughts that you can.
Thanks for the update Essnce - definitely sending all the hugs/sticky vibes possible your way. Hope to hear some good news from you tomorrow!
Keeping you and little one in my prayers essence and thank you for popping in and giving us an update xx
Hugs & stickies, essnce
Big hugs, prayers and sticky vibes to you essnce xxx
So, talked to my doctor tonight.
She said my HCG is only 6000, which seems pretty low for 6w5d. My last HCG was at 17dpo and was 520, so if it was doubling every 48 hours it would be over 55,000 by now. But, when I look online it says 1,080 – 56,500 is normal at 6 weeks and that after reaching 3000 it takes anywhere from 48-96 hours to double. She told me to come back on Friday for another blood draw.
Then, she said the radiology report said there was "no normal fetal pole" and that "fetal demise suspected" which is heartbreaking, but the tech definitely said there was a fetal pole and was able to measure it so was it just "not normal" or "too small?"
I don't know what to think. It all sounds pretty negative, but I guess I still feel in limbo till I get that second blood result on Friday. If my numbers drop then that will confirm a miscarriage, but if they go up then another u/s would be called for. I just don't know what to think and feel like I'm holding on to the very last piece of hope. I told baby if she had to go and that it wasn't meant to be then ok, but if she wants to fight then I'll fight for her too and that she has two brothers who'd love to meet her. Just so so sad. :(
I told my mom everything and she is coming up here tomorrow night to be with me (she's in San Diego and I'm in Los Angeles).
Honey my heart breaks for you gorgeous. So glad you have your mum coming to stay for support.
I am just teary reading this I hope she is a fighter too big hugs honey and thinking of you XX
