having a miscarriage and have questions

I started bleeding 2 days ago, at around 6-6.5 weeks pregnant. I went to the ER and the doctor checked my cervix, and it was closed and normal. He checked my hgc levels and they were only 443. I had an ultrasound the next day, and she kept asking me if I was pregnant, cause she saw nothing. She said maybe she saw something that could look like a "early pregnancy". I know that I was at least 6 weeks, cause I had my first positive test on
Aug 18, so I was at least 4 weeks then which would make me 6 weeks now.
I took another test 1 week ago and the line was super dark.

My question is what does a normal miscarriage ultrasound look like, do you usually see the baby or sac?
Could it has stopped growing a while ago, and I am miscarring later. But then why was the test line so dark a week ago?

I am pretty sure that it is not etopic cause I have had no severe pain, and lots of bleeding...just like a regular period. Do you usually have more pain than blood?

Thanks
It is a scary thing I have never had a miscarriage before, so the unknown is scary.

Re: having a miscarriage and have questions

I am so sorry that you are going through this. The only answer I can give you is that you could have lost the baby a while back and are now miscarrying. Also, your will still get a pos. preg. test for a week or so after the miscarriage. I was 11 weeks preg. and the baby was 8, then I had a d and c. Two days after I still had a pos. test, but now almost two weeks after it is getting lighter, but still pos.
I hope all goes ok! Maybe the baby is just hiding.

Good luck!
Let us know what happens.

Re: having a miscarriage and have questions

I'm sorry to hear that you are having to go through this! I can't tell you what the miscarriage would look like on an ultrasound, but from my experience I also think I lost mine a couple of weeks before I miscarried, and I didn't have any pain until after I was bleeding very heavily and I was about to pass the fetus. That is when my cramps began. How heavy is your bleeding? I hope you are not experiences a miscarriage and I hope you find out soon what is going on!

Re: having a miscarriage and have questions

Well yesterday I had so much cramping, then I passed what looked like would be the fetus, large clot type thing. Which I did go into minor shock, dizzy, clamy, dry mouth. After that the cramping and bleeding had slowed down. Does it usually slow down when you pass the fetus?? I hope so, I just want the physical part of this to be over. I haven't eaten/slept in 3 days. Actually, last night was the first night where I felt calm enough to sleep some what.

I am also very sorry to hear about your loss as well, it is hard. Its nice though to chat to those who have had a miscarriage before, I feel like I am the only one in the world going through this, and no one knows what it is like. It is encourging to hear of woman who have survived this. I know I will, I will be fine eventually. What is helping me is the kids that I have. I just look at them, and am so thankful that I have them, and they are healthy.

Thank you for the responces.

Re: having a miscarriage and have questions

Hopefully your pain and bleeding is subsiding a little by now. It sounds like you passed the fetus. I know I felt better after passing mine, but still experienced some cramping. I am going through it right now too and was also about 6 weeks. My major bleeding was on Tuesday and I am still bleeding. Not near as much though. I don't know what I was expecting, but it really threw me off when I passed the fetus. It was a little traumatic for me.

I agree, I only have one kiddo, but he is really helping me get through this. I look at the little munchkin and am so thankful for him and his health! It really does help to talk to others going through this, my husband is very sweet, but at a loss of how to be comforting with this sometimes. Hang in there and hopefully this will be over for you shortly!!
