Should I Get A Second Opinion

Shawnté

Hi all. I never post here. I’m usually always lurking and reading everyone else’s story and how they relate to mine. But I’m feeling very emotional and sad this morning and need someone to talk to besides my fiancé and family as I went for an ultrasound yesterday where I would have been 7wks but the doctors told me there was no longer a heart beat and that the baby stopped growing. It wasn’t measuring where it should have by this time. I was also told at my last appt on 12/13 that they couldn’t confirm a due date just yet because I ovulated almost 2wks later than what we thought and that the baby was measuring two weeks smaller than my LMP.

They kept asking me if I felt any symptoms of cramping or spotting and I told them no. That I’m actually still very sick with morning sickness. They told me the heart may have stopped over a week or so ago so I didn’t have too much time to make a decision on what I wanted to do (either wait until I start to pass it on my own or a d+c). I have to go back Monday morning because since I have no m/c symptoms they want to test my hcg levels.

Can I request another ultrasound to be sure? I mean with news like this we all want to be in denial but I just feel that although the heart beat was confirmed on 12/13, with the weeks being off from my LMP maybe the heart didn’t start yet? I don’t know. I just really want them to be sure before I consent to the d+c as I want them to do genetic testing.

I’m 37 yrs old. First pregnancy and I have pcos and endometriosis. We conceived naturally and I’m terrified that it won’t happen again. 😔
