Question

First US at 6 weeks, baby seen but no heartbeat

I just received the results from my first US today in my 6th week. They saw my baby but no heartbeat. My dr wants a blood test done tomorrow and another US in 7-10 days (unless I start bleeding before then). I'm scared, sad, devastated. I can't stop crying. I'm 39, no kids, and felt like this was my only chance, my miracle. Any one else go through this, good or bad? They told me today my baby has a 50/50 chance which doesn't sound promising.

Thanks for listening!

50/50 is still a chance, hold on there. my last pregnancy they saw neither baby nor heartbeat at 6+3 but it was there and measuring fine at 7w. i did lose it at 9w though for trisomy but this was unrelated to earlier findings. wait for your hcg levels.

Im so sorry! I had a similar experience with my first pregnancy. I never did miscarry on my own, but follow up u/s at 7 weeks showed still no hb and no growth. I ended up having a D&C around 8 weeks. You wont know until you know - but if i were you I would try to process your grief and plan for a miscarriage - which is just so terrible and Im sorry. If you want to be a mother please dont let this stop you!!!!! Try again. Adopt! Find a way. Even if you lose this pregnancy - hang on to a future one in your heart. Hugs to you.

My sister went in a 6 wks from her estimation and they did n it find a heartbeat, just a sac. Went in the next week and heartbeat was strong! Just give it a little time!

I got more details from the nurse today when I went for bloodwork. They only saw a sac and it measured 6w3d. If my hcg has progressed, I have another US Wednesday.

Thanks for all of your support.

My hcg has doubled nicely every two days and is now over 46,000. I have another US on Wednesday. I'm praying for a fetal pole and heartbeat!

you should have a nice strong hb with 46 000! the numbers sound great

I am also having severe nausea and vomiting now (nausea all day, vomiting in morning). I don't want to get my hopes up but I'm trying to remain positive.
