seeyalater52 , everyone is different! Even though I have SOME symptoms I'm still like, "but are they enough?" Good luck! When do you go back, Monday?
Wednesday is our appointment to try to see the heartbeat. I'll be 6+3 so I'm a little nervous it will be too early to see much, but I'm so anxious that "only" waiting a week and not even longer feels ok too.
They were able to see a heartbeat at 6w exactly for me and it's amazing how reassuring that is! I hope you get to see it on Wednesday to calm some fears!
we saw a hearbeat at 6+2 so best of luck to msmerymac and seeyalater52 on your upcoming appts! i also had like zero symptoms in the beginning. felt totally normal most of the first tri too. it is possible!
The appointment was great! Measuring 6w1d (which is what I am) and we saw the tiny flicker of a heartbeat, although it wasn't yet audible. I'll go back at 7 weeks.
Today was a PITA though because I had to go downtown. I live outside the city (technically about 16 miles from where the appointment was, but the drive can range from 35 minutes to an hour with traffic), AND I work the opposite direction from my house. So my appt was 7:45 and I got to work at 9:45. AND the only reason I went to that office instead of the suburban one (which is still 20 minutes from me, no traffic, and 45 minutes from my office) is because my doctor normally works out of the downtown office, but on Fridays he's in meetings until 8:30.
AND now Iām having another miscarriage. I just canāt put myself through this again. I just got home at 8:30 and knew something was wrong. I ran inside yo use the bathroom hoping it was really just... having to use the bathroom, but itās not. Itās blood and tissue. My husband was just leaving an event and I called him crying, so heāll be here in about 20 minutes.
Thanks everyone. I was in the ER until 6 am (they would leave us alone for hours at a time and we had to bug them to get the OB-GYN to come go over the ultrasound results, and to get discharge papers together, etc). I only went to the hospital because I was in the worst pain of my life around 10:30/11:00 last night. It was so bad I threw up. When the nurse was trying to get some background and medication info I threw up again, so he got me an IV and gave me zofran and morphine, after which I felt a lot better. (I told my husband on the way there that if I passed out he was to tell them to keep me knocked out, give me all the pain meds, and do a D&E.)
The sac is still there, but they couldn't find a heartbeat. OB-GYN said it was too small/early. I was like, "Yeah, okay, sure." I mean, I'm still bleeding red blood (like a regular period) and consistently and definitely had massive clots last night, so I'm not hopeful, but my H is making me take my progesterone and estrace for now. I have an appointment with my RE on Thursday already.
I'm "working from home" today after a 3 hour nap when we got back.
Thank you for updating us--I couldn't stop thinking about you last night and how scared and upset you must have been. I've never heard of an ER providing many answers in that scenario, but you were absolutely right to go in since you were in so much pain.
Do you not think your RE would try to squeeze you in today or tomorrow? Thursday seems like a long time for you to wait to hear answers during such a difficult time.

Fuck the ER for being all like "it's too early." Ugh. I know they're not set up for that, but still. You know yourself best, but I'd absolutely opt for an earlier appointment with the RE if at all possible if you think it will help to get clearer answers more quickly. Thursday is an awfully long time from now. I've been thinking of you constantly and I'm so sorry you're back in this hell.
Before I went to the ER last night, I was just planning on calling the RE when they opened today and going straight there, but after getting home at 6:30 AM... NOPE. I'll call now and see if I can go in tomorrow though.

Hugs. I hope they can get you in tomorrow. I don't blame you for not wanting to deal with it after being in the ER all night.
