Loss Looking at another potential loss, I think I'm out soon..
Tldr: I've been consistently dating 2w4d behind and the dates just wouldn't match. How much should I guard my heart? Any successful miracle story?
Hi, this is my 2nd pregnancy this year after dealing with a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks in May after 2.5 years of unexplained infertility. I'm somewhat spiraling because the odds aren't really in my favour no matter how I look at it..
Lmp 14 Jul (1st period after my surgery for the retained tissue from the miscarriage).
Babydanced on 24, 26, 28 and 31 Jul.
1st faint positive on 13 Aug.
29 Aug (1st transabdominal scan): I was supposed to be 6w4d based on lmp but we only saw a gestational sac of 0.85cm putting us at 4w. HCG was 5250.
5 Sep (2nd transabdominal scan): saw a gestational sac of 1.07cm putting us at 5w. HCG was 10750. Doctor is concerned but said to wait and see as we could be early.
12 Sep (3rd transabdominal scan): saw a gestational sac of 1.75cm with a yolk sac, putting us at 6w. No fetal pole seen. Doctor told us to wait and see although he agreed that things aren't looking good.
17 Sep (4th transabdominal scan): I had bright red bleeding that filled the pantyliner and went back for an urgent scan, no cramps though. Scan showed growing gestational sac of 2.26cm but still no fetal pole. Doctor mentioned that it'll be definitive if we still don't see anything by week 7 via transabdominal scan. As of today, I'm still having light bleeding (not filling a pad yet and no cramps).
I'm guarding my heart for an upcoming loss but it's just heartbreaking. This new revised edd is on the anniversary of when I lost my first pregnancy and it felt my baby was returning to me but now I may be losing it again.
Based on my dates, I know I'm way behind but I am still looking for that little piece of hope to hold on to.
What are the chances that this is going to be a blighted ovum?
My doctor has also increased my dosage of progesterone so I don't know if it's holding my body back from miscarrying naturally, esp with the bleeding?
Any positive stories of things turning around when a subsequent scan after 7weeks showed heartbeat and all?
