Found out at 10.5 weeks that the baby had some fluid build up under the skin in a couple places. Our RE said that sometimes it’s usually and indication that something is wrong, usually a chromosomal issue but that sometimes it just goes away on its own. We were referred to a Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) for an ultrasound at 12 w 3 days. I went into the ultrasound hoping to hear that the hydrops was gone but found out it was much worse, there was no heartbeat and the baby stopped growing a few days earlier. We did the PGT-A testing on the embryo so didn’t think there could be any chromosomal issues. They ended up doing a CVS and a D&C the same day. My heart is completely broken as this is my third miscarriage. We still have two frozen embryos but don’t know if I can try again. Going to wait for the test results and see how things go. I wish everyone else in this group well and hope your pregnancies work out better than mine did ❤️
