Please pray for me...❤️

My pregnancy has been a month-long whirlwind of emotions good and bad...I got my positive test on 1/5 at 13dpo. I was totally elated! I went into the doctor on 1/9 to confirm. They saw only thickening endometrium but that was common for that early I was told.

They asked me to come back in 2 weeks. This would have put me at 6w2d according to my lmp but they said it looked like I was closer to 5 weeks or so...At that time, they saw only the gestational sac and what they thought could be the yolk. Told me again to come back in 2 weeks.

At that time I was 8w2d according to my lmp. This was Tuesday of this week. We could see the embryo with the yolk and fetal pole but no heartbeat. I overheard the ultrasound tech telling the doctor it was measuring about 6.5 weeks. He responded “noooo...” but didn’t really clarify.

After they showed us everything, he said we should come back in a week. I had a trip planned next week so we made the appointment for tomorrow. He said in that amount of time we would be able to know if the pregnancy is still progressing. He didn’t sound very optimistic and said that we should have seen the heart beating at this point. He even discussed miscarriage and D&C; options with us...

Of course we are devastated. This has been the longest 3 days of my life and I saw my husband cry for the first time in our entire relationship of 7 years...I’m just asking for some prayers. This is our first pregnancy and I am really at a complete loss for how to feel. I already switched back from nurture to glow. Put everything we had planned on using to announce to our parents in a box in my office...I’m just praying this is not the end, but the outlook does not look good for us...💔
