Heartbroken.

My first appointment did not go well. I am so confused and my head is spinning.
Basically, the baby wasn't measuring where it should be for 8 weeks 4 days. It's measuring more like 5-ish weeks and has a heart rate of 80-86 BPM. She said she saw everything she wanted to see, but it should be a lot further along if I ovulated when I think I did. Oh, and there was also three gestational sacks present. So, there's pretty much 3 different scenarios of what could be going on...
1) I had a weird cycle and I ovulated much later than I usually do, so I'm only 5 weeks along rather than 8 weeks along like my LMP suggests.
2.) I am really 8 weeks 4 days along and the baby is measuring at 5 weeks, in which case it's not a viable pregnancy.
3.) It's multiples.
I am so confused and my head is spinning. All of that is a lot to take in. Now that I am home and replaying the appointment in my head, I have a lot more questions. I was just in total shock. The doctor was very sweet and reassuring. She sent me for a full blood panel and to check my HCG levels. If it's showing 2,000 or more then it's possible that it's multiples. If it's low, then I'm either 5 weeks along or the baby isn't growing like it should be.
She said the bloodwork should come back tonight or tomorrow morning, so we'll know then. I'm also set up for another appointment in two weeks.
I have no clue what to think. I am heartbroken. Scared. Anxious.
Praying hard... :(

I hope this is not the scenario for you. I will be closing my account shortly, but I'm anxious to hear about your test results. I want someone to be happy even if I can't be. Please update me! |
| Comment from qbdoll » Posted Feb. 19, 2013 7:14pm So sorry to hear! Mine didn't go well today either. I'm 8 weeks today, and my fetus only measured 6w 4d and no heartbeat. Dr. said I could have ovulated late, but by 6w4d gestation really should have a heartbeat. Dr said it's not viable. Sadly she didn't think more hcg tests would give us a definitive answer so I have another sono scheduled for Friday also a d&c just in case. My heart aches too. I'm sending hugs, prayers and good thoughts for you and your little one. |
