[quote=Anonymous]I too had 2 miscarriages at Kaiser in MD, and both times the various OBs I consulted told me directly that my fetus was not viable and that I was going to miscarry. My situations were very easy to diagnose, however. I was at about 7 and 9 weeks respectively, the fetuses measured 5 and 7 weeks, and both times there was no heartbeat, my hCG had already started to decline dramatically (my HCG was tracked for various medical reasons), and there was a clear line of sight on the fetus, no cysts.

Each time I was given all my options, and I chose to wait to naturally miscarry both times, instead of taking an abortion pill, or getting a D&C. Both times the D&C was mildly discouraged, as it can lead to scarring, but 2 options were given for it: in office with minimal pain meds (ugh!) and in surgery with anesthesia. For the second miscarriage, another OB I consulted because my regular OB was out, even sent me an informational video on my options. They were both really nice. The evening I went in for an urgent ultrasound, the techs got a third OB on the line to tell me I was miscarrying because there was no heartbeat. I cried, and the tech hugged me and was very kind.

Read your medical notes. A second ultrasound is usually done to confirm diagnosis if ever there is a doubt, as it appears there is in your case.

Many hugs, OP. I'm very sorry. [/quote]
