Sorry I wasn't on yesteday...I broke my charger and have it hot-wired so it'll work. XP
Anyway yesterday was my sonogram and besides an old man being my dr. I think it went amazingly. I saw my baby on the screen *sqwee* I'm exactly 10 weeks (and a day now) but they couldn't find the heart beat is that normal/ok?
Then I had a mini freakout yesterday because Ben and I were alone finally and one thing came to another and we had amazing sex...but afterwards he noticed I was bleeding so I moped the rest of the evening sooo worried I was miscarrying. The bleeding wasn't bad and it stopped so I think it was from just being too rough...unless anyone else has input. ^-^

I know that some people are saying that it's normal, but as far as I know (And I'm not trying to be pessimistic, just trying to give the facts) the heartbeat starts at 6 weeks and by the 8 week time it should be easily located. At ten weeks for sure. I went in on this pregnancy at six weeks and didn't see it, but by week eight it was clear as day.
If you had a differnet scan done, it might be different, but at the very least you should be able to see it... what did the doctor say? Your doctor should have told you SOMETHING about it - if he didn't, find a different one.
You should get a re-scan done in a week, and no later. See if there has been growth, look for the heartbeat again, etc. What kind of scan-thingy did they use? The vaginal one is best for early pregnancy. If they used the one on your belly then it IS possible they missed it.
The bleeding is another indicator of something possibly being wrong - however, it's not unheard of for women to bleed and still have otherwise normal pregnancies - it's possile that perhaps your guy was being just a little rough or that you're just super-extra sensitive down there. But call your doctor.
I must sound like a total a** to everyone in here, but when they couldn't find the heartbeat at eight weeks at my doctor's office during my first pregnancy, they knew that it was gone - and they of course checked a week later to confirm, and there had been no growth or heartbeat or anything, but I hadn't had any signs of miscarrying - which is called a 'missed abortion' - basically, misscarriage that your body doesn't recognize. It can make you very sick if you don't get it taken care of.
I was devastated, but having a whole bunch of people tell me that they must have done the scan wrong or that it was just missed or late or something - didn't help in the least. In gave me false hope and I was all mixed up in the head until I got the second scan done, and then my heart was broken yet again. I did craptons of online research and EVERYTHING pointed towards what the doctor said.
I'm wishing you lots and lots of luck and hoping that by some miracle the doctor messed up or was blind or something...
I was about to say the same thing. At eight weeks we did a vaginal ultrasound (or whatever it is called) and they heard a strong heartbeat, and when I had my perinatal appointment they still
heard a strong heartbeat then too. They say that no heartbeat increases the risk of miscarrying, or one that is not strong raises worry for one. So I was worried too that she wasn't able to hear it ..but I don't know all the details and points and stuff.
