Well the Dr Rang and wasn't too happy with the results. I am to go in for another u/s on Friday (not Monday) because there should be a heartbeat by then or it isn't going to happen. The blood test results so far have been so good, I will be heartbroken myself if the baby doesn't haven't a heartbeat on Friday.
ContentMother - there is a thread around here for someone else who had no heartbeat at your stage, and came back a week later and saw a heartbeat. There is some hope .
Just letting you know I had no heart beat at first ultrasound with this pregnancy when I should of been 6-7weeks but was told to go back in two weeks thinking that all would be bad as I had some bleeding but nope there was a good strong heartbeat on the second ultrasound! Good luck it's very nerve wracking, I would opt to have another ultrasound in a week if you still get no heartbeat on Friday just to make sure.
I also had no heartbeat, jut fetal pole at 6 weeks. That fetal pole is now a 2.5 year old little boy. Interestingly my doc wasn't at all concerned, I didn't have another scan until my first ob appt at 8 or 9 weeks.
Don't let your GP get you down or stress you out! Stick with the original scan date. GL
Thanks for the encouragement. I will wait for another scan if possible if the heartbeat isn't there. Hopefully even if no heartbeat, there will be some growth of some kind to show that things are still growing. I will check out the other thread too. I have been feeling low tonight but a bit better now I have seen the posts. My husband isn't concerned at all and says everything will be ok. When I have checked out other sites, they seem to say that it is ok not to get a heartbeat when it is less than 7 weeks and the fetal pole measures less than 5mm. I will keep you updated.
I went back for the follow up ultrasound and there was still no heart beat and the fetal pole or anything for that matter had not grown at all. I elelcted to have a D&C and hoped to have the products of conception sent for genetic testing however there was a problem with that and I had a uterine peforation during the procedure but am doing very well now. The Dr was very nice as a lot of Dr's don't even tell you if someting like that goes wrong. I have been on antibiotics for a week or so. I am recovering and getting ready to try again. After a month or so wait. Perhaps I will post with the TTC group when I try next time. I really would like a chance to have a baby where I didn't have to go back to work straght away. Thanks so much for all your support. Will keep you posted on my jourmey.
