I had one very bad cramp around five weeks, followed by bleeding throughout the next week. My OB had me come in for a vaginal ultrasound, everything appeared normal, but it was so small, it was hard to tell. I was pretty sure they knew something was wrong, but wanted to wait it out. They scheduled me for another ultrasound the next week. That one did not show what they wanted, but they adopted a "let's-wait-and-see" approach, which was fine. I had many doubts, but a twinge of hope. I then had severe bleeding like a heavy period, but it still didn't pass. Another ultrasound showed it was in there still, and still growing, though there was no baby. They think it stopped developing normally around the time of that first big cramp I had. My OB wanted to give it a little more time to pass on its own. After two more weeks, I wanted to get it out, so my body could return back to normal as soon as possible, so we could start trying again. And the daily waiting for it to pass, "Will it be today?" was actually quite stressful and frustrating. I had stopped cramping and bleeding entirely, and I was afraid it would be one of those times you hear about where it doesn't come out - I didn't want to be a special on TLC! ;) So I decided to have the D&C. By the time I had the procedure, I would have been 10 weeks.
