I went for my 7 weeks scan yesterday and they weren't able to find a heartbeat or a baby for that matter. Just an small empty gestational sac. They said this could be that it's too early so they want to check again in 2 weeks but they also said this is very unlikely as we had conceived through IVF and they know the exact moment. Has anyone been through this and had a healthy baby? I have no symptoms of miscarriage which makes the news even harder as it was so unexpected. My clinic wants me to keep taking my meds in case there is a chance but at the same time they give me no hope.
This was our 3 transfer, the two previous ones didn't even implant and all I'm reading online is that it's most likely genetically related. I'm devastated and worried all of our embryos are genetically dagamed 😢😢😢

I am so sorry you are going through this. I'm afraid I cannot relate to what you are going through but I wanted to send you hugs and kisses. I am keeping everything crossed for you. I really wish you all the best. Try and stay strong, you've got this. Xx
Im so sorry! I cant offer any success stories but thinking of you.xx
Yes I’ve had 2 blighted pregnancies it’s devastating when you expect to see a little baby bean and there’s nothing there we didn’t find out til 12w & 9w. I’m sorry you’re going through this it’s truly awful x
It's is awful. I couldn't even imagine something like this was possible, without any warning or symptoms...only 2 days ago I was telling my friend how I felt like it was too good to be true and how I kept googling if you could have lost the baby and not realised...how little did I know... I keep playing in my mind the moment the nurse said that the sac was empty...worst moment of my life.
Thank you for replying and sharing your experience, can I ask you about how you managed the miscarriage? Just reading about it and trying to prepare myself... Some women say the cramps can feel like proper contractions.
The first one I had a little bleed at 12w I had went to epu for a scan not really thinking too much after I was told it just started to progress naturally the next 3/4 days pain was awful I got codeine from my gp by day 3 couldn’t bear it once the pregnancy tissue is out the pain goes away. My last one I had a tiny bit of brown at 6w then nothing I had a scan book just before 9w found out it was mostly likely blighted but they couldn’t find the yolk sac though possibly ectopic long story short it wasn’t ectopic I had started bleeding on and off in 3w had the finial scan then 5 days later because it wasn’t naturally mc I got a manual vacuum aspiration mva was much easier less pain over in 10 mins went home rested with pain killers minimum bleeding. I opt for that if I ever needed to choose again hopefully never again.
I'm so sorry trendydove. lots of love and hugs to you. this happened to us in Dec 19/Jan 20 after cycle 2 (1st FET). I opted for medical management and ended up taking two lots as didn't react to the first. Here if you want to chat xx
Was it as painful and long for.you as it seems to be for other women? I'm not really scared.of the pain but to be fair if it's really happening I wanna get it over with as soon as possible so we can try with one of our frozen ones again, I don't want to be bleeding for weeks 😓
We found out on 5th Dec, came off meds on 17th I think, started bleeding on 20th Dec, finally finished on 16th Jan I think. Had 1st lot of medical management around 27th Dec and second lot I think on 31st. There were three sacs so not sure if that caused things to go on longer + not responding to 1st lot of medical management.
Im so sorry lovely. Have you thought about surgical management?
I was then going to do 3rd cycle (2nd FET) in March and would have done had covid not delayed things xx
Yes, that's why I'm asking around. If surgical management is less painful and can speed things up I'd probably prefer it but I have read somewhere that with hospitals being overwhelmed with COVID patients, this might not be an option. Why is all so complicated?!!! Anyway, thank you for sharing Lots8789, I really appreciate it xxx
I’m so sorry you are going though this. This happened to me a couple of years ago after a FET. I was so happy when I got the bfp but then thought something wasn’t right before the scan- just a feeling nothing more but I kept telling myself I was wrong. At the 7 week scan all they could see was the sac. I had to stop the progesterone and miscarried a few days later at home. It was like a really heavy and painful period for me. Not pleasant but not too bad either and the main part was over in a evening then more normal period like bleeding for a few days afterwards.
I really hope it was just too early and the next scan shows development but if not then here if you want to chat. Take care xx
Thank you for sharing Starsoutside and sorry you had to go through this as well. Hopefully the miscarriage won't be as bad for me if my pregnancy stopped developing at 5/6 weeks like they said. I kind of just want to get it over with now as it doesn't seem like a healthy baby would be an option from this pregnancy anymore xx
