@Tidybee: To be honest I think the fact that they are waiting 4 weeks to see you again is a good thing, to me it seems they think if baby is doing well then lets wait it out!

I am so sorry you have to wait another 4 weeks. It is so difficult when you don't know what is going on to wait. Thinking of you and your little fighter.

**Update** I was going to write a separate post...but I couldn't think of a title. I may write up our story in a bit in case it helps someone else in the future.
We were referred to Maternal Fetal Medicine by my OB because if I didn't miscarry by 12 weeks, we'd need to have genetic testing for chromosomal abnormalities.
We went to MFM yesterday for an ultrasound. Ironically, my sac had grown, but I saw immediately my baby was so small inside of it. He or she measured the same as my last ultrasound where heshe was growing right on schedule and had a strong heartbeat. I didn't see the heartbeat this time, and she tried to measure it and it was nothing but a flat line. I don't think I'll ever be able to shake that image from my head.
We go in for a D&C today (my second in 5 months...ugh). We are heartbroken, but we know nature knows when something isn't right and we're blessed that we didn't have to make any very difficult decisions. I'm glad we found out at MFM. They were kind and compassionate and just amazing women that took care of us. Just as you all have been taking care of me and giving me strength along the way.

@Tidybee: I can only imagine that moment...that line...I'm so glad that you were taken good care of at the MFM. My heart goes out to you and your husband.

@Tidybee: I'm so sorry. I went in for an ultrasound at 9 weeks and experienced the same flat line and no heartbeat. It was awful. Big hugs No one should have to go through it, especially not twice.

@Tidybee: I'm so sorry for your loss. Will you have any testing done since you are having the D&C and because you mentioned it is your second in 5 months

@Tidybee: I'm so sorry that you are going through this.
I also had 2 D&C's in a 5-6 month period. It's gut wrenching.
Have they mentioned doing chromosomal testing on the fetal tissue? After my second in a row the doctor was really insistent on having the tissue tested. Thank goodness we did because they found that he had a chromosomal abnormality that was more abnormal than usual. That prompted karyotyping of my husband and I...lo and behold, I have a chromosomal abnormality that doesn't present itself in me, but will present itself in my babies about 90% of the time.
It's a long story but I am now 28 weeks pregnant with a (so far) healthy baby boy. If you have any questions at all, please wall me! One miscarriage is tough, 2 or more is even harder. In my pinion any testing you can get to help put your kind at ease or isolate an issue is worth it!
Most importantly, take care of yourself and grieve however you have to grieve.

@ every single one of you -- thank you for the kind messages. They really helped life my spirits a bit after waking up and coming home from the hospital. I hope you are never in my position but if you are, that you get to experience the kindness in this community that you have shared with me.
