I had my first U/S last friday. Unfortunately the Dr. was very concerned as the heart rate was very low 60 and yolk sac big. He said that there is only a 10% chance that the fetus will survive and I will more than likely miscarry. Has anyone else experience these things before?

No, I haven't had that particular experience, but I have miscarried. It is a devestating experience. Just remember that you don't have to go through it alone. Find someone to confide in and rely on, because if you do miscarry, you'll need that support. I'm sorry there's not anything more cheerful I can tell you.

I've had a miscarriage last May, but in my case the HCG wasn't increasing like it should. They pretty much expected me to miscarry so for me it was something I was prepared for. I'm not sure whether you were trying to conceive this baby and really excited, but just be grateful that if you DO miscarry you were more prepared for it than some other people.

Whatever happens I wish you the best. Please keep us posted.

On my first u/s, I had to deal with a embryo with no heart beat at all. Unfortunately, less than 60 is not good either. Depending on how many weeks along you are the heart beat should be 120-180. I am assuming that your doctor will do repeat u/s with you? Hopefully, you'll know more then. If you need support, there is a really good miscarriage group here. I am part of that group, because I miscarried the first time. I will be praying for you.

I am sorry that you received bad news from you doctor. I have not had a problem with low heart rate before, but I have had several m/c...but while I think it is important that you prepare yourself for the worse possible scenio, it is also important that you try to keep a positive attitude until the next time you see your doctor.

I will pray for you about this...a 10% chance is not a high chance, but it is a chance non the less.

I wish you the best! Hugs and prayers to you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

    Have you had the test with water in your ear?

    My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
