??? I am in such denial. I wake up everyday hoping it was all just a dream. Every night I have dreams about being pregnant. Sad combination.
I had an ectopic pregnancy in Sept 2007 that almost ruptured my tube, but caught it with a laparscopy. In February 2008, I got to see my baby's heartbeat at 6 wks, but at 9 wks, it had stopped.
My hubby and I figured 3's a charm with this time around, but we seemed to be wrong. At 5 weeks I already had several sono's. Before leaving to go out of town for Thankgiving, we went to have an u/s to make sure it was interuterine. We saw the gestational sac, which should've grown 6 days worth, that had only grown 3 days. It was empty. :-(
For the hell of it, my hubby (Dr) and I decided to run my HCG that day and it almost tripled in 48 hrs. I know that's normal now, b/c the placenta doesn't recognize what's going on and it can continue to produce hormones for several weeks.
So here I am today....got to go back to see my Dr (she wasn't there Wed) and to confirm it with another u/s. Like seeing it and living through it the last week wasn't hard enough, once. :-(
The worst thing is to have the symptoms and no baby. Maybe 4's the charm. :-/

I'm so sorry for your losses. Losing one is hard enough, but more than that I can't even fathom. I'm still going to hold out hope for you that you'll get some good news today. 5 weeks is still to early to see anything on a u/s. Yes, it's concerning that sac hasn't grown as much as it should have, but if your numbers are strong I personally think there's hope. I've many other ladies come here, and whenever their numbers have been strong everything ended up being fine. Numbers tend not to double (or as in your case triple) when a blighted ovum has occured. That's not to say it can't happen, though I haven't seen it here to the best of my memory.
Whatever the outcome, please know you've come to a wonderful place for support. We'll hold your had every step of the way.
Big hugs, Alexa

I am so sorry for what you are going through. I understand completely what you are going through, as I have experienced it myself. I hope that maybe it was just too early and that you will be able to see something today. You will be in my prayers.
Hugs, Alisha

Wow...what a supportive group. I wish I would've found this site a year ago. I've posted on others and haven't had one reply. This is so nice to refresh this page and see several replies. Thank you!
Well, as for the update.....got a yolk sac today. :-) Got an ultrasound set for next Friday to see the heartbeat. Please, let 3 be a charm!
As for the ladies that wrote to me on here....thank you very much, again. I pray this one goes well and hope everything's great for you all.
It's scary to go through miscarriages. After the last pregnancy I thought I was in the clear after seeing the heartbeat, so I do know there are not any guarantees. I'm 27, but my husband is 52 and that ups our chance of miscarriage by quite a bit.
Please, stay in touch. Misty

I am so glad you saw a fetal pole. I pray that your baby is a sticky baby and that you see the HB on friday. I know the waiting game and it is no fun what so ever. I will be thinking of you and keep us posted:) I am so happy for you:)

Oh Misty!!! I hope and pray you see a heartbeat and everything works out! I've only had one loss and it devestated me, even after having 2 healthy children. I was depressed for a full year. I got pregnant really easily before. First 2 pregnancies happened on the first try, for the third I was even on birth control and still got pregnant(but lost it). Now at 41, my fertility seems to have declined. I am still hoping to conceive another but at least I have been blessed with 2.
I hope this is your time and will be checking for your response after your apointment. BTW, this site is awesome. The ladies here helped me though the grieving process, assured me that I wasn't crazy or a bad person. Listened to me complain, cry, get angry, answered my many posts needing support. They never get tired of helping others. welcome to the site. Hopefully you'll soon be posting in the "Pregnant after loss" section!!

Dear Misty,
I am so sorry that you've possibly needed to find us, but I am glad you did as we will all be here to offer you any support and prayers we can.
I had a blighted ovum in June. We found out at six weeks and 4 days and decided to miscarry naturally. My sac grew and my numbers did continue to double for many more weeks.
I will be praying that this will not be happening to you and that your doubling numbers is a wonderful sign that your little bean is a sticky one that will give you a life time of joy and happiness.
I am so glad that you found your little sac and I will be thinking of you and praying that you find a heart beat and a growing little bean !
Please feel free to stop in here any time you feel scared or worried or just feel like you need to let out a few emotions.
Good luck ! ~Chrissy

Misty,
I had 2 losses back to back before becoming pg and it sticking. It wasn't until I felt the baby move daily that I became more comfortable and confident but even now I find myself questioning if everything is ok.
I pray that this little one sticks for you and you have a health and happy 9 months! Sending sticky dust your way.
Kristy

Misty, What was your end result? I am in a very similar situation, my BETA is at 8,350 with sack but no fetal pole, so I am very curious and thinking good thoughts toward your situation, Thank you
