Missed miscarriage misdiagnosed?!

Question

I was pregnant with our first baby and went in for our 8 week appointment and the doctor said the heartbeat seemed to have stopped at 7 weeks 4 days. She prescribed me norco just in case I'd pass it and then have an appointment on Monday to follow-up. I'm just curios what peoples experiences are with missed miscarriages. Has anyone had a misdiagnosis? It's only 3 days off between 7+4 and 8 weeks, could there be a mistake? Trying to stay positive, but are expecting the worst. Baby Dust to those ttc and Sticky Beans to everyone with a Bfp. :)

Answer

I had a miscarriage at 12wks in April with baby#3. I knew it was happening I had gas like cramps in my stomach and I was passing a lot of blood clots. I went to the er and they confirmed it. I talked to my Dr. 3 days later he told me that something might have stopped growing weeks ago and my body knew and that is how I miscarried. We are still trying it is definitely something I would not want anyone to go through. God has a plan that's what I tell myself. Baby dust.

Answer

I know for me, i went for a second ultrasound both times just to be sure. It's not really the measurement, it's that there's no heartbeat detected. I know at only 8 weeks, the fetus is quite small, so I'd get another ultrasound to be sure. 
​Sadly, the measurement just tells the approximate time the fetus has passed.
​I'm sorry you're going through this.
