I was not going to answer, since I really don't have one for you. But I will tell you a story.

About 12 years ago, my wife went to the doctor who told her that there was no heart beat and that the pregnancy was not viable. He wanted to schedule a D/C for the next day.

My wife did not feel right about it, and went to get a second opinion. Well we have a wonderful 11 year old boy right now that the first doctor wanted to destroy with a D/C because he was wrong.

I am a firm believer in 2nd opinions.

I strictly do not believe in abortions that is just me though.

I am with chucks thinking, get a second opinion for sure!

But I'm in the military so we kind of have to go to the hospital on post and We can only be seen off post if its an emergency or your referred.ughhh so stressed.I pray there's a heartbeat on fridAy.I wonder can I tell them I want to wait just a little bit longer after Friday.

Keep us posted!

I would wait a bit longer to be absolutely sure. It does happen that it can take a bit longer before the heartbeat is seen. Even several days can make a tremendous difference in what may be seen.

Your pain would not be from baby at this point. Baby would be far too small for position to have an effect.

Definitely come back and let us know what results you receive when you go back in on Friday.

I will give you my awnser because the same thing happened to me when they do your lab work they are looking at your hormone levels and when you go back on Friday they should do some more lab work to see if your hormones are going up or down in my case there was no heart beat and my hormones levels were going down so its was a sure singn I was going to loose the baby so I had 2 choices either let the misscarage happen naturally or go ahead with the d/n/c I had the d/n/c already having 3 misscarages I just couldn't take having another one but hunn I wish you the best luck and will say a prayer for a strong and healthy heart beat no one should have to go though something like this

@amandaatm21:
Thank you that really helped me a lot so I know if I would be waisting my time to just wait because of the hormone levels.thank you for the prayer :)

Also, sorry but so you are in the military, that means you have their dependent insurance and can go to many doctors who accept it. Or, of course for an important issue, you write a check or pay cash and get a second opinion.

When you start placing a price on medical care and accepting things because that is all your insurance will do, you have set a line that is sometimes not acceptable.

Did you go to the Dr yesterday?
