Q: Miscarry :(

Ok I found out from my doctor last week that my baby isn't going to make it. I took it so hard!! Well that was a week ago and nothing has happened. She told me that if by three weeks nothing still hasn't happened that I have to make another appointment. So i'm curious, how long does this usually take and is it just going to happen or happen little by little??


-thanks

She said that my hormone levels would not go up ( I was on meds and doing blood tests), and they measured my baby at 5 weeks almost 6 and could not find a heart beat.

Almost a yr ago exactly (oct 6, 2005) I miscarried. I found out a wk before that, that I was pregnant. So I made an appointment and I had no idea how far along I was. To find out, my doctor gave me an ultrasound. My baby was measuring 6 weeks and they said it didn't have a heartbeat so they gave me these pills to stick in "there" to make me cramp and get everything out.

Sorry to hear about that. I dont really know what to say. But if nothing does happen and you have to go back to the doc, I would definatly request an ultrasound!!!

Do you think that hormone level would really effect it??
Cus I feel that my baby really is still alive.

Okat that is messed up that they gave you pills to abort the fetus at 6 weeks.
My doctor didnt get a heart beat until 12 weeks and he said it is extremely rare to get a heartbeat before then.

I think she meant finding the heartbeat by ultrasound, which at 6 weeks should be visible. I agree though that it seems like they were a little hasty about the pills. I would've demanded another ultrasound a week or so later to see if there had been any changes. Maybe she just wasn't as far along as she thought.

yeah, it wasn't visible on the ultrasound at 6 wks. They told me there was nothing else I could do and that I needed to take those pills b/c it wasn't healthy to keep it in there. I had just turned 16, so it's not like I knew what to do. I just wanted the situation to be over so I listened to my doctor.

I miscarried at about 5wks this past summer.
I had an ultrasound when .I was supposed to
be 6wks, but was only measuring 5wks.
I bled for a little over a week, &passed
everything through about 6 days into my bleeding.

&.Yeah, at 6wks, a heartbeat should be
visible via ultrasound. I had an ultrasound
at 6wks exactly with this pregnancy, &the
heartbeat was chuggin' away. At 10wks,
.I heard the heartbeat via doppler.

Wr17 i'm sorry to hear that. I understand that you were only young and I don't want to make you feel bad about it but I would of demanded a 2nd ultrasound a week or so later. With my 1st ultrasound they couldn't see a heartbeat so they got me to come back a week later and there it was. U might not of been 6 weeks- only 5...

The doctor gave me pills to try and raise my hormone level.

Oh and when you bleed, what color is it usually?

My body is letting out this brown stuff..........
