A member asked:
Ultrasound yesterday morning and saw my 9 week olds heartbeat. my doc said everything perfect. later that nighhad a miscarriage. how can she miss that?

Unfortunately: spontaneous miscarriages are just that, and all tests and imaging studies may appear normal before the miscarriage. Your doc probably didn't miss anything on the ultrasound, it is more likely that whatever was abnormal was not detectable. Sorry for your loss and take care.
