Am I in denial?

Question

I found out I was pregnant on the 16th of November due to very heavy bleeding- I thought I was having a miscarriage & so did my doc. Next day no bleeding but still a positive pregnancy test it was determined that we were 6 weeks along.  Went in for blood work & my HCG levels were very high & still rising. Went in for an ultrasound on nov 28th which would have been 8 weeks and found out we're having Twins :) but they were actually 6 weeks along. We saw both heartbeats & both of us are super excited. 
Today I went in for an 8 week appointment and the doctor couldn't find a heartbeat for either. He didn't measure the babies, he didn't zoom in on either one... Just told us there was no heart beat. I have to go back tomorrow and decide if I want to take this pill & abort the pregnancy but after being at home for a while I can't help but think that he's wrong. He didn't zoom in to see the heartbeats and when the babies were first found at 6 weeks they were completely zoomed in to where the entire sac of one baby filled the screen and that's when we saw the heart beat. He says it bothers him that I don't have morning sickness? And that the babies didn't grow passed 6 weeks but he never measured them so I don't understand it at all. I feel like I need a second opinion but this is a Navy hospital doctor and I feel like I'll be denied that option. I just don't understand why I would take a pill to miscarry because wouldn't my body do it on it's own? My symptoms that I do have are still here and I just can't wrap my brain around the fact that both of my babies are gone... Has this happened to anyone and the doctor was wrong? He had another doctor come in and confirm what he was seeing but again no zooming in, no measuring the babies.. Doesn't seem right. 
Thanks for your input & advice in advance.

Answer

I would go to a private ultrasound place and pay them to do the ultrasound for you. Explain why you are there and that you want a second opinion. I have a friend that owns an ultrasound place and she has confirmed pregnancies for people regularly.

Answer

You should absolutely get a second opinion.  Navy hospital or not it is your right.. good luck

Answer

There is an entire website dedicated to missed miscarriages. And yes doctors are sometimes wrong. It is pretty rare to see heartbeat as early as 6 weeks, are you sure you weren't further along? I suffered a miscarriage a few months ago and was in your same position, I chose to wait until my body responded naturally. I think it made it easier for me to wrap my head around that it was really happening. But everyone has to make their own decision. I would definately get a second opinion and do whT makes you feel best. Good luck to you!
