8 week u/s yesterday showed a big empty gestational sac.

Lola, my husband is an Obstetrician and he said that early scans are not always reliable. He always said to me dont be upset if you dont see a heartbeat today when I went for my early or first scans xxxxx Hoping this will come true for you xxx

Thanks, Nini. I unfortunately did lose that one (it was a year ago), but there was a gal here who pm'ed me because she saw this thread and I encouraged her to wait on the D&C and she did see a heartbeat a week later. I had really hoped that would be the case for me last May, but lo and behold, I did start to miscarry about 1.5 weeks after the scan. How nice having an OB husband!

aw god, sorry to be replying to an ancient thread, since it was April too I never noticed. Sorry you miscarried :( Hope you will be pregnant real soon.

About the OB husband, its not always that great. I like going to my own OB who pay a lot of attention when my husband usually just says something along the lines "just get on with it"... ha ha ha..xxx

No worries! I appreciate your post! Funny about your DH, I know what you mean. It's nice to have a dr dote over you, but how reassuring to have one there. Do you have homebirths?

I'm so sorry. May 3rd must feel like an eternity from now.

I agree with what everyone else is saying, definitely wait for another u/s before doing anything. With my second DD they tried telling me early on that she was an ectopic pregnancy and I refused to let them do anything as I knew it was way too early to tell that...she is now a happy, healthy 2 year old!
Stick to what your heart tells you to do...fingers crossed for you that everything turns out well.

Hi Princess, how early did they call out "a" ectopic pregnancy? I'm just curious because I have to prepare for anything at this point.

DITTO! There are miracles every day Lola, and If it doesn't happen this time, the chances of conception increase for the cycle afterwards! I will keep you in my prayers sweetie!

I always get kinda confused when threads from a year ago pop up... but it was sweet of nini to post anyway.

Yes, didn't want anyone thinking I had another unfortunate blighted ovum! But it's a good thread to learn from if you think you are in this situation. You guys are sweet to post though.

Butterfly, Princessap is not on here much anymore (we email though), but I can tell you that a good friend IRL had an ectopic and she had horrid pains all of the sudden and had to go to the ER. Apparently once the pregnancy get large enough, it will REALLY hurt, and from my knowledge, that is how most women get diagnosed- from going in with severe pain.

But yes, it was super sweet of Nini to post!!!!
