[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I was told I was going to miscarry somewhere around 5.5 weeks.  Transvaginal ultrasound and normal ultrasound could find no heartbeat.  I was to schedule a D&C for the following week or choose to wait.  It was extremely agonizing emotionally.    I chose to wait and went to a new OB a few days later.  Heartbeat was very strong and there was my little peanut.  It astonishes me still, 2.5 years later and looking at my amazing healthy son, how quickly the hospital was to tell me I was going to miscarry.
I'm no expert in this whatsoever- as that was my first and so far only child and pregnancy- but I would wait at least a week or so and see what happens and in the meantime seek a second opinion. [/quote]

OP - please ignore this poster.  She has posted this BS several times on threads about D&Cs.  5.5 weeks is often too early to find a heartbeat on an ultrasound - no one would recommend a D&C based on not finding a heartbeat at 5.5 weeks.  Most OBs don't even do ultrasounds until 7-8 weeks for this reason.  [/quote]

This horrible woman posted on my thread when I miscarried at 10 weeks, AFTER I'd already had the D&C, and after I posted that we'd seen the heartbeat twice and then it was gone. It sent me into a tailspin. My sister had to talk me off the ledge. If you have found a heartbeat, and then the heartbeat is gone, your baby has died. Ignore her.[/quote]
