At 8 weeks, i was told that i would have a miscarriage

Hello, I am new to this website and have read several of the forums on miscarriage. It is really helped me a lot to read other women's experiences.

I had my 1st u/s at 5 weeks 5 days, the gestational sac was there and you could see what the technician referred to as a little grain of rice. There was no heart beat and I was told to return in 2 weeks. They also performed blood and urine analysis,

My 2nd ultrasound was at 6 weeks and 5 days, the tech said my fetus had not grown much but the heartbeat was visible and everything seemed to be alright. My blood work and urine came back fine. Progesterone levels were perfect.

I had my 3rd ultrasound at 8 weeks and 5 days. They couldn't see the yolk sac with a regular ultrasound so they did a vaginal u/s. The fetus had only grown 3 days since my last ultra sound and although they didn't measure the heart rate, you can visibly see on the u/s that it was considerably lower than the last u/s. Also, the yolk sac had seemed to split and you could see a second ring attached to the first ring. Both rings intertwined with each other. The doctor assured me that it was not twins and in fact said that in his 22 years of working, he had never seen the yolk sac like that. He had no explanation for the yolk sac and said that what we were looking at was probably caused by inadequate chromosomes. I was horrified. The doctor said that I would lose the baby and have a miscarriage. I asked if I should just have it removed since it didn't seem like it was going to make it but he said to wait to see what happens on Tuesday after he preforms another u/s. I have a feeling that he is waiting for me to miscarriage on my own. This is very hard for me, I am 34 years old and this is my first pregnancy. Is there anyone out there in a similar situation? Just waiting? Also, has anyone seen an gestational sac with a yolk that seems to have split into two rings intertwined with each other? I would love to hear from you. My husband and I are both devastated and I am scared as what to expect with the miscarriage. Thank you,

Hi yvette

I just wanted to reply to your message. I had a m/c in Feb this year at 6 weeks, it was my first pregnancy. I haven't experienced the circumstances of your pregnancy but I do know how difficult an experience it is waiting for a m/c.

I had bleeding and went to the doctor, I had to wait a week to find out if the pregnancy was m/cing or not. After five days I started to heavily bleed and went on to m/c naturally.

I just wanted to let you know you aren't on your own. It was difficult emotionally and physically. I am happy to share my experience with you or if you have any questions etc please private message me.

I'm thinking of you - god bless. Sam
