TTC/pregnant after miscarriage

Uncertainty

I've had a two ultrasounds done still no fetal pole. I'm nervous and scared. I had a miscarriage around this time last year. My OB sent me this message and it just fuels the anxiety

Hi Jayla,
If your hCG is rising appropriately, that is certainly reassuring. At 6.3 wks, I would have expected to see a fetal pole, but that can vary some between pregnancies and people. I would be more concerned if it hasn't developed by your repeat US.
Ultimately, I can't explain entirely why you're having discomfort and spotting, as it can be either benign or worrisome, but the above factors are what we really need to watch to monitor wellbeing of the pregnancy. Otherwise, you monitoring your pain and bleeding for worsening is the most you can do. If you feel like these are worsening, please seek help.
I'm reasonably confident you are headed in the right direction, but if that's not the case, please do remember that most early pregnancy failures are not because of anything you did, but rather because there was an error at the cellular level and the body recognizes the danger of continuing the pregnancy. This early, there's nothing that can be done to preserve a failing pregnancy, especially if the underlying cause is that kind of problem. As disappointing and painful as that may be, it is a safety mechanism that is trying to protect you. But, again, I don't think we're headed in that direction.
Let us know if you start to feel worse,
Eric
