Hi there,

First time to this site - it's amazing what you find when you go looking. My first pregnancy has just resulted in a missed miscarriage.

I had a scan at 7 weeks and another at 8 in my OB's office, both showed a nice strong heartbeat. I had some brown spotting, but had it all checked out and was advised it was implantation bleeding and nothing to worry about - but I still did worry.

At the 12 week scan there was no heartbeat, the size was only about 8.5 weeks.

I had a curette the next day and the OB told me that even after a heartbeat, there is still around a 20% chance of losing.

I am so angry that not only did my body not "do" the pregnancy right, but when I miscarried it didn't "do" that right either.

Do other people have experiences of having a missed or silent miscarriage after seeing a heartbeat?

Thanks heaps...
