    Unfortunately not looking good. He could only find a sac. I don't know why this keeps happening. I go back in two weeks but I know by 7w they should see much more.

    @delight: noooo!!! Do they think it could just be too early?? Crossing my fingers for you

    @JoJoGirl: I don't think so. He was saying sometimes it's hard to see so early but I've had lots of early scans and have seen fetal
    Pole and yolk sac by now. I'm not hopeful.

    @delight: I'm so sorry. I'm really hoping it is just too early to see much. My heart is breaking for you during this wait, though. Wishing you strength while you wait to see what is going on.

    I would like to hold on to hope that it's too early but I'm sure of dates. There should be more than just a sac. I have never been one of those "miracle stories", especially when it comes to pregnancy. I just don't think I have a chance.

    @delight: can you ask your doctor to go back next week? You're right that 2 weeks is a really long time to wait.

    Did they by chance take another beta? With my blighted ovum in December, I had gone in just shy of 7 weeks and we didn't see anything but the gestational sac. They ran another beta to confirm it was over 5,000 (which apparently was the magic number in which they would expect to see the yolk sac, etc.). We confirmed that my hcg was in fact well above 5,000 and so I was scheduled to come in 7 days later. When nothing was seen then, they promptly scheduled my D&C. Admittedly I'm not a physician, but I do think a 2 week wait to go back in seems excessive because I would think they could know with certainty what is happening sooner and it seems cruel for you to go through another week of pregnancy fatigue, nausea, etc. Just my two cents. Again, I'm so sorry you are going through this.

    @Shantuck: They didn't ask for another beta and I'm not too sure why I have to wait two weeks. But at least by then I'll know. In the fall this happened to me, or at least something similar, we saw a yolk sac that time. It took at least 3 weeks to diagnose the pregnancy was over so I guess that's why they're making me wait two weeks. It always seems to drag on for me. I am so disappointed and now more time has slipped by. I even bought new maternity clothes this week and feel like such a fool. I don't even know if I can face returning them.

    @delight: My RE told me that with diminished ovarian reserve, it's a numbers game and that he was quite certain there were good eggs left but that it might take me longer to catch one. I think your numbers were similar to mine so I'm quite certain he would say the same thing to you.

    You are not a fool. I know you will be pregnant with a take home baby eventually. It just sucks that there has been so much heartbreak along the way.

    @delight: I bought maternity clothes right before my missed miscarriage in the fall and I did not return them. I figure I WILL be pregnant again and I will wear them then. You are not a fool!

    @delight: oh bugger. Ok... This can be a tricky one - but a two week wait is agony for something like this. I think it would be beneficial to at least grab a beta test now, and a repeat perhaps - and a week would be much more appropriate of a wait. Any way you can ... make up a reason to get in earlier?

    Sorry ladies I don't even know how to respond to everyone. I was so excited. I thought for sure this was going to be it. I was positive I'd be walking out of my scan with a pic of a baby yesterday. I can't stop crying. My poor DD has no idea what's going on and is trying to comfort me. My DH admitted last night that he thought this time it was it too, and he is feeling really sad. Thanks for all your love and support. Ugh this sucks.

    @Nutella: @Shantuck: thanks ladies. I appreciate the thoughts. DD and DH are helping me get by this weekend. I know that what will be will be and we will have another babe at some point. It's just so disheartening. @Shantuck, I'm glad your scan went well. It is scary to measure behind but always think positively. You have a strong heartbeat in there.

    @MrsDragon: @winniebee: thanks girls. I'm getting by. I must say I'm spending way too much time than I should googling different outcomes. I just can't believe it's happening again. Send some positive thoughts next Thursday the 31st. I need a miracle!

    @stiletto_mom: ugh my first cycle was 56 days long post mc back in October.

    Thanks for the positive vibes. I'm hoping I have a little hider in there that will give me a surprise next week. I know you can have a mmc and still feel sick but I'm really sick.... Hoping that's a good sign. If I wasn't so sure of dates I'd be more calm. But you know with all this charting and calculating we all do, I'm positive when we conceived.

    @winniebee: I think at this point I have just accepted that I'll find out next Thursday. Plus I want to give the potential baby all the time it needs to catch up and show itself if that is what's going to happen. I could definitely get in if I lied and said I was cramping or bleeding but I just don't want to do that. I'm just trying to stay busy and focus on my DD right now and get through Easter weekend. I already almost have one week under my belt, what's one more? Nights are the worst when I lay in bed and just google "7 week empty sac", "Measuring behind at first scan". I've come up with 50 ways to google the same thing. Thanks for thinking of me though, I know you're all rooting for me! I'm glad things are going great with you.

    @JoJoGirl: @Autumnmama79: thanks so much ladies. The support is wonderful. I'm much better than I was Friday. My poor DD kept saying "Mama stop crying. Be happy. Don't I make you happy?" Dear lord! I'm trying to hold on to a glimmer of hope. I know things can turn around in these situations. It's just hard when it's never turned around for me before. For now though, I guess I am pregnant and only time will tell.
