OP - ok so I think I had one this weekend. Was just 6.5 wks had cramping and a light/moderate period. I guess I was expecting it to be more? Sounds stupid but now I am kind of in shock that I lost the baby without more pain. My HCG levels were low, under 800 so my dr said it was probably a miscarriage and gave me another HCG test. I still haven't got the results back, but he said it was unlikely that I didn't miscarry.... [ Reply | More

Well it takes my family Dr. 2 days just to get HCG levels back and that is enough to drive anyone crazy. I think I just need to know 100% that its done. Dr is very laid back and said just to wait a month or so and see if I have period and if I do then he figures I don't need a D&C. Is this a good idea or should I have an ultrasound done to make sure I don't need a D&C now? We want to try again as soon as possible and I don't want to have any more problems than necessary [ Reply | More

at 6.5 wks they typically won't do a d&c. They will want to wait. Usually do a d&c after 8 wks but you can opt out. I had a d&c for the one at 13 wks but not at 5.5 wks. Sometimes it can take some time, in which case it turns into a missed m/c. You can look it up but it is where it comes out many days/weeks after the actual loss. [ Reply | More

Since Dr.s don't generally see/hear the heartbeat till 7 weeks it is a bit moot to do an U/S now. It may have just been a blighted ovum (pg started but no embreyo developed). On the other hand it may be a sign of something more serious. I had 2 dcs w/no problems then had 3 m/cs in a row. Turns out my eggs (at 38) were just too old. With donor eggs & progesterone supp I was able to have 2 more. [ Reply | More

If you got #001 you were placed first then so on till the last number. I can't remember the exact number but I think sibs had about 50 maybe 80 or so. Entering D3 over 200 maybe close to 300. And RSN was my category which was out of district non sib. We got nothing. [ Reply | More
