    Not the start I wanted...

    Had a quick scan yesterday at my obs office, I was 6 w 2d. I had a fairly empty bladder (stupid me) so the image was quite grainy. Dr found a sac (only barely visible) which was empty. No heartbeat.....again.................

    I know there is hope because Im still so early but why oh why do I have to be on this rollercoaster again. I am on clexane injections and asprin this time to try and save this bean but there are no guarantees.

    I go for a proper u/s in two weeks at the place where they have the sophisticated machines and can do an internal scan if necessary, so perhaps they will pick up the h/b then? How the hell am I supposed to be positive given my history?

    HUGE HUGS babes..

    I don't know how you can be positive, but you just have to.. A friend of mine had 7 m/c before going on to have a healthy pregnancy once she started clexane ...



    I hope the next 2 weeks go quickly. Can't you have another one sooner???

    I'm surprised they let you have the ultrasound done. At my clinic they won't do it if the bladder isnt full enough. I have everything crossed that everything turns out alright and the next ultrasound they find something

    Oh Im sorry to read this. I know that awful feeling. Can you try to get into another US place before 2 weeks, the wait will be so hard for you ?

    Oh DG. What a stressful and anxious time this is for you.
    I hope the next fortnight passes quickly- and that you see a beautiful, flickering heartbeat.

    So sorry DG . I know it is a small comfort, but they don't usually do external ultrasounds at 6w for this exact reason. Often the HB is not visible until 9w external (6w internal). I hope all is well with your little bean.

    How stressful for you, hugs i hope you get good news in 2 weeks. 6 weeks is very early and often no HB is seen then, with DS1 scan at 7 weeks 5 days HB was slow and OB said either just started beating or was going to be another MC (internal scan), he is now 3 years old, 2 weeks later his HB was normal rate and speed.

    Fingers crossed for you.

    Hold hope sweetness! I went to see my Ob at 6w4d's with this bub and when he looked externally he could only see a dark empty-looking sac. He then did an internal scan and there was my tiny bub with it's little heart flickering away perfectly. So the external scan at that stage really can be extremely misleading and disheartening.

    Sending you loves and prayers that you have a sticky little bean. I understand about it being really hard to remain positive and upbeat, so don't focus on that - just feel how you feel
