Firstly, i would like to say i am so sorry to hear of your problems and i think that all the idiots on answers should READ your PREVIOUS QUESTIONS on this topic before criticising you for wanting a termination.
Personally, i would wait another week just to be certain that there is definitely no heartbeat. Also, you may miscarry yourself which is a lot easier to recover from than a d&c. Sometimes, d&c's can remove too much of your womb lining making it more difficult to conceive in the NEAR future. Once recoved it should be quite simple to fall pregnant again. If you miscarry naturally there will be little or no damage to your womb lining.
My heart goes out to you and i hope you make the decision that is right FOR YOU!!

Hi, I just wanted to say that personally I would wait another week or two. I bled a little early on with my second pregnacy and I had an early scan at 6 weeks, a heartbeat could not be detected at that time, but they told me that sometimes the heartbeat has not developed this early on in pregnancy. They booked me another scan for 9 weeks and the heartbeat was then detected. It was a nerve wracking 3 weeks to wait!. I hope everything turns out okay for you. I will keep my fingers crossed. Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Have they done an ultrasound to confirm this or just listen for the heartbeat. It is quite normal not to find a heartbeat at 7 weeks. Get a second opinion.

You posted a question saying they couldnt find a heartbeat. Was this confirmed with an ultrasound? If so, then I would do it as soon as possible. There is reason to wait, it will just make things harder. Good Luck and Take Care.

If the D&C is to terminate your pregnancy, then I don't think another week is going to make much difference.
This is the only reason I can imagine you are having a D&C ? You should take time to think why you want to wait another week, because if you are having any doubts, rather don't have it at all!

Dear, are sure you want to abort. If so, the sooner the better. In case you don't want an abortion & you just have your procedures mixed up, then get it all straightened out with your Dr. Best to go by what the Dr. says anyway. Every single case is different. Never ever rely solely on medical advice from anyone except your Dr. Good luck to you.

yes i would say so. if you cant detect a heart beat by 9 weeks then go ahead with it but its still early days and baby could be behind a bit in growth and development.

Your local clinic should tell you what they think will be the most effective. The faster you do the better I say though. It should be as effective as any other time and it is cheaper. Plus that early there is barely any development. Good Luck I hope everything goes safe

if it was me I think I'd want to wait a week just to make sure there was no heartbeat, I don't know of any reason why you can't, though you could miscarry yourself in the meantime

if its for an abortion, do it when you feel ready, if its beacuse they cant hear a heart beat, get a second opinion, you may not hear a heart beat at 7 weeks, i didnt hear my bubs until 8 weeks! you want to make sure of it first, because you hear some terrible stories! good luck
