I had no heartbeat at 10 weeks. ultrasound at 11 weeks confirmed no viable fetus, DNC the next day.
it was devastating not to get a heartbeat but you are so early i've heard that even by ultrasound at seven weeks it could be hard to pick up the heartbeat.

thanks for your response they are going to watch my hormone level until wednesday. if it goes down which they think it will we will schedule an dnc then.did that hurt and how long does it take to recover from that. do you have any kids after having the dnc. i already have 2.but i plan to have more thanks.

yeah, you can have kids, dncs are perfectly safe (well not 100%, but nearly). it was my first pregnancy. it hurt for a few hours, after that not any worse than severe menstrual cramping for me. they gave me pain killers that i did not take after the first day (i'm saving them for when i get my period again). i was in work the next day and in class two days later. i bled off an on for almost two weeks. but everyone is different.

When I had my D&C done that afternoon it just felt like I had cramping in my lower belly for about 2 days and after that I felt fine I still have some discharge but it has only been a little over three weeks since my D&C. My doctor said I could start having sex after 6 weeks and start trying again after 3 months. Some people actually say that you become more fertile after a D&C or a miscarriage, now if that has any truth to it I am not sure but just know that if you need to vent or if you have anymore questions we are all here for you.
