Am I losing this baby?
I went in for a scan yesterday which should be 8 weeks 1 days from LMP. but my last scan said I was a week or so behind. My Hcg were going up correctly, but my progesterone was 14 then went down to 11 two days later. I am now on progesterone as of April 10.
Yesterday the Fetal pole was there now. Saw a flicker on the fetal pole but the heartbeat was 78 he said. He said it was very slow. Could've even picked up on mine he noted. Also said the yolk sac looks too big which is another sign on an impeding miscarriage. I feel like the progesterone is just prolonging the inevitable.
He said it a slim chance this will survive. He was even holding my hands. Saying I am so sorry I can tell by your eyes you really wanted this. It was devastating honestly. Cried my eyes out when I got home. I am supposed to go to Miami on Monday for a week and have another scan the day after.
its weird cause this doctor gave me an abortion ten years ago. When I found out it had a healthy heartbeat and everything.. but I was measuring six weeks and some days but was supposed to be nine weeks that time. Maybe my babies develop slower?
My hcg yesterday was 15,031. It was 4101 on April 8. It is not doubling at all. Progesterone went back to 13 only.
Not looking good. Nope. Advice?

I’m so sorry. You have to trust the doctor on this one
I’m sorry. The only thing I can say is that I wouldn’t worry about progesterone delaying the inevitable because a recent study in the UK found that progesterone won’t sustain a failing pregnancy and delay natural miscarriage. The fact that HCG isn’t doubling doesn’t sound promising - development is pretty standard at this point in time so it’s good that you’re prepared for the worst case scenario.
