Well AF is slowly on her way out, there are way too many posts to reply to personally so I will giving that a miss this time.

Someone asked how long I had been TTC including before my m/c and my dh and I have been trying since September last year, so 10 months.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts I appreciate them

Sienna, my partner Kim had a little tiny bit of brown spotting at 5 weeks 4 days so we went to our local hospital for an ultrasound because it was a sunday and our doctor wasnt in his office. She had a Subchorionic Hematoma that was 2.3cm in diameter. The radiologist said it could go either way, but if the Hematoma is larger than the gestational sac, (which ours was at such an early stage).. it doesnt fair well. Subchorionic Hematoma's probably do account for alot of early miscarriages, they just haven't been detected. When the placenta is forming and growing in the lining a little blood vessell can bust causing the bleeding and ultimately the clot.

When we ended up seeing our doctor he told us that if we hadn't have told him that she had a hematoma he wouldnt have known because he couldnt see it on his machine. The machine that the hospital used was a much better machine than our doctors. We had 3 more ultrasounds with our doctor and the first two were ok, the baby had grown and the heart beat was good. But on the third one our baby didn't have a heart beat any longer. We were 8 weeks but the baby probably died at about 7weeks according to the measurements. He was pretty sure that it was due to chromosomal abnormalities. Anyway Kim had to have a D&C, so we had the chromosome testing done and the baby was a normal little girl so we proved him wrong, it was just plain bad luck.
