Q: What are my Odds? Anyone with a similar experience, please share

I am 37 years old. I had a miscarriage in September due to a blighted ovum at 8 weeks.

I recently became pregnant again. We went in for an ultrasound the day after we found out. We saw a gestational sack and a yolk and the "assumed" I was about 5 weeks.

One week later, 2nd ultrasound, measured 5 weeks 4 days. Heart beat of 92 bpm. I knew that was low but wasn't too concerned because it could have just started.

5 days later, 3rd ultrasound, measure 6 weeks 2 days, heart rate dropped to 82 bpm.

Going in again this next Tuesday for 4th ultrasound. I'm prepared for the worst. Especially since the heart rate keeps dropping.

The doctors tell me that as long as the heart is still beating there is still hope.

Anyone have a similar experience to share? I am not opposed to brutal honesty by the way.
