We're back from the ultrasound. No heartbeat. No baby, actually. Just an empty gestational sac and a yolk sac measuring around six weeks. That would explain the low progesterone. And now there's no hope left for this one. D&C is tomorrow.
Merry f***ing Christmas.

have you read the info online about blighted ovum diagnosis in women with a retroverted uterus sometimes being wrong and just from the odd angle of the ultrasound?
http://www.misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com/blightedovum.html
site has quite a few stories... of what seemed like empty sacs later not being.... many of which has a tilted uterus
I have seen such sites. However, I don't have any question that this was a blighted ovum. Last time I was pregnant, I had a 9w1d baby with a heartbeat that was very visible on a transabdominal u/s. This time, I KNOW I should have been just as far along--9w1d. (If I was only six weeks and it was really just too early, I would have had my first positive pregnancy test at something like 1w. Absolutely impossible.) And the u/s tech was extremely thorough with the transvaginal u/s and looked around for a long time trying to find a fetal pole, and there was none. I appreciate the tip, but I know there was no question here. And besides, what good would that info do me now?
