Went for early viability scan this morning. Not sure of date of lmp but thought I was 8 weeks. I have a retroverted uterus so had to have a transvaginal scan and I could see straight away that there was no heartbeat. The sonographer said that I was measuring 6 weeks and would have to have another scan next week to confirm it is a missed miscarriage (although she was certain) and then I would be able to discuss my options.
I have been googling like mad since I got home, and wondering if (a) I could be wrong with my dates and therefore only 6weeks - if so maybe too soon to see a heartbeat? and/or (b) because I have a tipped uterus it might be harder to see and the sonographer could have made a mistake.
I know I am clutching at straws but have had no cramping, pain or bleeding. I am devastated as although this baby wasn't planned (I thought I was too old to have any more at 42) dh and I had strongly come around to the idea of it.
I have the second scan booked for next Tuesday - should I maybe try to delay it a few more days just in case? There are so many stories of misdiagnosed miscarriages that I can't help have a teeny bit of hope.
