Needing some positive feedback

I went to the ER after having pains & heavy spotting & they told me i was 5 weeks 2 days. I was told that it wasn't a viable pregnancy. Went for a follow up, they said it may b too early to tell have some hope. Went back for blood work & ultrasound & they said my numbers went down & there wasn't much change with the baby. My dr gave me 2 options, to let the miscarriage happen naturally or let them take care of it. I made  3rd option to wait another week for another ultrasound. I should b a lil more than 8 weeks by then. This is my first pregnancy, what do u guys think?

If your numbers are going down and your baby isn't growing, then I'm afraid your doctor may be right.

Omg I'm so heartbroken for you!! I had a miscarriage at 14 weeks, 3 years ago. I felt so empty, and broken. We are pregnant with our rainbow baby 3 years later. We'd given up hope, but here we are. Grieve as much as you want. There is no timeline. We gave baby a name, and had her buried. It helped us heal. I really am so sorry! Hugs to you and your partner. I know it probably doesn't seem that way now, but you'll get your Rainbow baby too!

Unfortunately my story didn't have a positive outcome but I will share. I went for our 10 week dating ultrasound August 24th only to show a gestational sac and no fetal pole. I saw my doctor the next day who ordered serum HCG levels every other day for a week. Monday she told me my levels were dropping from 36,000 down to 18,000. I had to go to emergency to see the gynaecologist on call who gave me Misoprostol. I had major cramping that night but little bleeding. I saw the gynaecologist again who did an ultrasound and still no baby, only the sac. Thursday I went for a D & C as I was now 11 weeks and my body was not expelling the failed pregnancy.

I hope your journey ends positive but if it doesn't just know there are so many women that have experienced the heartache of miscarriage. My pregnancy was a "blighted ovum" so that's why a fetus never developed.  I will keep you in my prayers momma.

Did u have any clots at any point?

Definitely give it time and wait. This happened with my mom. They flat out told her she was miscarrying. She decided to let it happen on its own instead of them "taking care of it", we all prayed and my sister is now 21 years old!!
