I didn't have an IVF but I recently went through an early missed miscarriage.

Went in on 14dpo and my Beta was like 125 and my progestrone was around 45 which they said was really great.

At 6 weeks I had my first ultrasound and just saw the egg and yolk.

At 7 weeks we saw the baby right away and even got to see and hear it's heartbeat 125 beats per minute. But the babies size was small and they suspected that it was growing about a week behind schedule...but the encouraging part was that we had seen so much development within that week.

They had me come in 2 weeks later for another ultraound and we found out the baby had no heartbeat and hadn't grown at all since my last ultrasound infact it measured smaller.

I started spotting that afternoon but the real cramps and bleeding started several days later. The doctor said it would be like a heavy period with heavy cramping and bleeding.

But it was very painful for me (I've since heard that many doctors prescribe pain meds just in case you need it). Everyones body will respond differently and my miscarriage was VERY painful. (about 6 hours of very strong painful constant contractions and heavy bleeding and then a couple more hours of mild cramping, before it turned into a light/medium period).

I know this is a very hard time for you. It was for me. Especially waiting for the miscarriage to actually occur. once I knew the baby hadn't made it i too wanted it to be over and done with. It was very difficult walking around knowing that you still have your little one in you....you do need closure and when my miscarriage finally came so did the closure.

I'm so sorry for your loss, many of us have been there. My thoughts are with you .
