I'm new to this site, but I am very
concerned regarding a recent test I
received. I had an ultrasound the other
day. I should be about 9 weeks. The
doctor told me that I had twins, but the
ultrasound did not detect any heartbeats.
They also told me that the babies were
about 7 weeks along. The doctor I saw
said I was miscarrying except that I have
no other symptoms. I am not cramping or
bleeding. Could it be that it is too
early to detect or the technician didn't
do it right? I had this same technician
for my first pregnancy and they missed the
fact that I had twins the first time
around. I ended up miscarrying one of
the twins, but I didn't have any cramping
or bleeding with that one either. I'm
not sure what to do? The doctor told me
to schedule another ultrasound in a week,
which I did, but what if I get the same
technician.
sorry to hear about what you are going
through.
What I think you should do perhaps if
you are concern with having the same
techinican can you request to have someone
else?

I would request a different technician, or
ask for a second opinion.
I hope everything works out for you.

I dont know about the misscarrying but
when I had an 8th week check up they heard
no heart beat then they finally did at 10
weeks
They say the heart usually can be heard
around the 6th week or so. But if jessa
couldnt hear her's until later on maybe
its different sometimes. I heard my baby
around the 7th week. If you aren't
cramping or bleeding maybe the doppler
just didnt pick it up for some reason, I
am no doctor though just one opinion.
However I will pray everything goes well
for you sweetie! :d
