Another setback

Saw this yesterday at the doctor:




Which looks great to my untrained eye. The baby looks HUGE! But alas, it only grew from 5w6days to 6w2days in a week, and although I saw the heartbeat again, the doctor doesn't think it's beating as fast as it should. So he said it's most likely a chromosomal abnormality and to expect miscarriage/D&C. Which is basically what my fertility doctor told me three weeks ago. I guess what sucks the most is the not knowing. If I miscarried, at least I could get closure and start to plan my next move. But technically there is still a live baby in there, and I want to make sure I exercise all my options/give it a fighting chance before terminating it. My doctor said it best - I'm in purgatory. And I don't have another appointment for two weeks, so all I can do is wait. Man I wish I could drink right now.
