Oh, Stacie. This is SO unfair. I'm so sorry.

I'm praying for you.

Hmm...not sure I understand. It's measuring on time, right, since your retrieval was July 3rd, and 2 weeks before that would be the start of the 6 weeks? So the problem is that you don't have a heartbeat? Ok, I don't see that as being worth a 30% chance of viability. NONE of my triplets had heartbeats at my first scan which was 6 weeks 3 days. Not one. But at 7 weeks 5 days they all had heartbeats. My doctor wasn't alarmed at all. So I don't see the basis for 30% viability, unless I'm just not thinking straight...

Hugs!

One more question...was there a fetal pole? What did it measure?

Usually if the gestational sac measures more than 16-18mm with no fetal pole or the fetal pole measures 5mm with no heartbeat, then that is grounds for a diagnosis of miscarriage or blighted ovum is made.

OH NO !!!
I don't want to tell you this story for any other reason than to give you a last shred of hope.
I know someone who went in for an ultrasound. They told her there was no heartbeat. Her partner was a nurse and watched the whole ultrasound and too was convinced.
She is a all natural kind of girl so when they suggested a D&C she declined and said I will wait and let my body do it's thing.
Weeks and still no bleeding no nothing.
She went back in for an ultrasound and there it was, a heartbeat.
She's now 6 years old and cute as can be.
They explained it to be a vanishing twin thing.

Stacie I am SOOOO sory. I am truly so so sorry.
I am hoping and praying for that 30%. I mean...with ALL that I am I'm asking the universe for that 30%.
HUGE hug. I mean, wrap my arms around you and hold you, hug.

Oh, I am holding you in my heart right now. I'm sure that it must be hard to hold out hope (although 30% is much higher than zero, from the outsider standpoint).

I'm so sad that you can't cry... I wish for you a good cleansing cry, great support (both IRL and URL), and a bite of some fabulous chocolate. Oh, and better news come the weekend, I wish for that too.

Thinking about you and yours right now.

Oh crap, Stacie. What a week you're having.

30% is not 0%. It may be too hard for you to have faith right now, so I'll hold on to hope for you.

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck!!!

I am so sorry...

Still hoping for that 30% though! 6w4d is not THAT far off, and before 7 weeks a heartbeat is not always there yet. So. Keeping toes AND fingers crossed for you, still!
