Long shot, but wondering.

I have been told by an ultrasound tech that I am going through a miscarriage. I am 8 weeks today, but started spotting about 3 days ago and started heavy bleeding and clots yesterday and today. The ultrasound showed one of two things. The sac wasn’t quite round, but there was something in it, but no fetal pole. So either A: the baby wasn’t far enough along to have a heartbeat (I could have ovulated late and not be as far along as I think), or B: whatever baby had been there was making its way out of the sac.

I had been at girls camp as a leader when it happened and was about an hour and a half away from home, which is where I also had the ultrasound done. I sobbed the whole way home, uncontrollably, moaning in agony over the loss of this baby we had so hoped for for so long and aching at the thought of telling my four year old the news. Maybe we shouldn’t have told him, but we did.

So as I’m driving home, bawling, my doctors office calls me and tells me he looked at the ultrasound and said , “I’m not calling it yet.” And had me come in for blood work. I go in for my second blood test tomorrow and will probably hear that I miscarrying on Monday.

So my question is this: Has anyone had anything similar happen to them and had their blood results say the baby was okay? I feel that the odds are definitely against my little one, but wondering if there is the tiniest eentsy beentsiest sliver of a chance the baby could still be intact? Why would my doctor say that? Also, I have not passed any kind of tissue that I can tell. It’s only been blood, unless I cant see the tissue in the blood. If you experienced miscarriage around 8 weeks, what kind of a pass did you have? Did you have any? Or was it just clotting and bleeding? Thank you for help at this time. I really hope I hear answers from people rather than just no comments. This is the one time I really need all of you!
