no heartbeat at 8wk - is there any hope?
Girls,
Just been for an ultrasound at 8wks and the Doc couldn't see a heartbeat (there wasn't one at the 6wk scan either). I had a tiny bit of bleeding/spotting last weekend and had an internal us where they could see an embryo and a teeny fetal pole. The Doc said she was unwilling to perform an internal today as I had spotting last weekend and told me to return for an internal us next week. When I said that I thought you should always be able to see a heartbeat at 8wks she said that although it wasn't normal to not see one at this stage, not to worry as it sometimes happens with IVF. I think she's giving me false hope but was very matter of fact and I would have liked for her to discuss what may happen but I just felt as if I was being rushed out the door.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Of course, I'm going to try to stay positive and hope for the best but I just have this sinking feeling that it's not going to be a happy outcome. It doesn't help that we were planning to fly home for a break on Friday and was so looking forward to seeing my parents and now I have to cancel everything.
I'd love to hear positive stories but equally, if anyone has been through this and it's not a happy ending I'd like to know too.
Thanks x
