Sorry to hear this sad news.
So sad.
Group hug for ladydebubba and family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Very sorry Lady....I know you were so looking forward to a baby.
My first pregnancy (28 years old) ended in sadness too, We told everyone and then when we were to hear the heartbeat...nothing, I went in for a DNC and was very very sad. I found out after the DNC that there was no product of conception found...so they said it was a yolk sac...not really a pregnancy. I wish now that I had not had a DNC...as I now know that I really didn't need one, my body would have done the same job. It was so hard having to call everyone and tell them the news...
She is young and will have many other opportunities!!! You will be a grand mama before you know it!

I wonder if that is what it might be with her! But my son said you could definitely see something in the ultrasound picture. But couldn't tell for sure what it was! Just a shape of something! But a yolk sac would probably appear as something on the ultrasound also. But he said two pregnancy tests showed positive that the doctor did one week apart. I just don't know!

Lady D, I am so sorry about this. I can tell you that the ultrasound can clearly show a heartbeat ... you actually see it beating as early as 6 weeks or so. I saw it clearly with my first son when we had an u/s about this time. About two years later I had a miscarriage, and it took two months for my hormone levels to drop. I was still testing "positive" even though I wasn't. So what they are telling you doesn't necessarily conflict.
I agree with the others that while this is heartbreaking, given time for the heart and body to heal there is no reason for them to not try again. The good news is that despite the ovarian cysts she can concieve. That in itself is something positive to take away from this, even though I know it hurts. There is hope.
It is so tiny at 7 weeks, less than 1/2 long. And from this picture I'm seeing it is forming elbows and fingers and toes, and the ears and eyes and nose are visible. OK, now I am heartbroken. I can never show this to my son and DIL. How can a heartbeat be detected in something so tiny??? Just the fact that it can be detected in something so tiny is amazing!

That's right. When I was on infertility drugs for about five years, they frequently caused ovarian cysts that would come and go. The infertility specialist said this was common while taking these drugs but wouldn't affect my ability to conceive. (My inability to conceive was due to my Mom taking DES while I was in utero and exacerbated by my being 40 when I started aggressively tried to get pregnant after years of being told that it was impossible).The good news is that despite the ovarian cysts she can concieve. That in itself is something positive to take away from this, even though I know it hurts. There is hope.
Regardless, your DIL's situation still stinks. If she's like me, she'll see poor, unmarried, pregnant women at the grocery store and wonder about how fair it is for someone to conceive when they have neither the desire nor the means to do so. My most difficult thing was christenings at church. I just could not sit through one -- I'd start crying and have to leave. To this day I see the children of friends of mine who were pregnant at the same times I was and wonder how my life would have been blessed by having a child of that age.
Like I said, LDB, we're praying for you all to get through this.
