8 weeks no heartbeat.

Went for a 3rd early scan yesterday where by my LMP I should be 10 weeks but earlier scans dated me at least 2 weeks earlier. Have had some light bleeding since about 4 weeks on and off and generally only when I wipe.

Epau scanned me 1st time only very small empty sac, scanned again 6 days later and there is a yolk also and now fast forward 3 weeks and they scan me again to see only a 4mm embryo no hb. They say they can not just write it off as it is under 5mm and want to scan again in 1 week.

I was devastated as having read on here it is my understanding that at this time I should see a hb and much bigger embryo. Mw and doctor were lovely but I felt they were trying to sugar coat things by saying things like well I've seen good happen in these situations and the mother is still pg etc. so then I come home and read all these stories on misdiagnosed miscarriages and get hopeful.

Has anyone had a similar experience and had anything good come out of it or am I just deluding myself.

I don't know what to say what a horrible worrying time. Just keep hoping. Thinking of you x

Please take a look at my msg about new miscarriage criteria. They need to be so cautious now. I'll look at the new criteria on further detail and msg you back. Much love xx

Just looked at a study and they said a miscarriage can not be confirmed until embryo had grown to 7mm with no heartbeat so next scan should give you more info. Please be aware that if there is growth they may still want to rescan to take into account discrepancies between sonographers measurements. It's a nightmare I can fully relate to. I'm 11 weeks with no embryo and not even a yolk just an empty sac. I am bleeding slightly and in pain but the docs won't help me incase dates are wrong? . I am being repeatedly scanned but know there is no hope. Wish they would accept it instead of covering own backs. Sorry you are going through this too. Hope you have a good outcome

Thank you for your kind words guys. Thanks for the information and so sorry you're going through something similar Cher! It's just so distressing cos you can't grieve properly or move forwards. I really hope you get some proper answers soon. Like you I think I've come to the conclusion it's not going to be a good outcome but just want to know for certain! Xxx

Good luck! Just make sure they scan well. Read a story in the press about acre commended d&c after miscarriage, the mother demanded another scan after two weeks the baby ws fine.
