Hi, my wife found out on Saturday that she was pregnant. But she had a little bleeding, so she went to the GP who referred her to the hospital's early pregnancy unit. They did a scan and calculated the embryo had probably stopped developing because it was 2.4mm which the specialist said was about 5 weeks. But My wife had told them her last period started on 26 December. That is how they calculated that the embryo should be 6-7 weeks and therefore not developing. We're really confused. She was told to go for another scan in a week or so to see if it has grown at all, but they said they were 'not optimistic'. But the thing is her last period was not normal. There was only a small amount of blood and it lasted about 10 to 14 days. before the scan she gave the date when the blood started and assumed that was the start of her last period. So perhaps it is only 5 weeks old and not underdeveloped after all. Is it worth getting a conception test to see? She's also had quite a bit of bleeding but no cramps so far, but they said it was unrelated... it's horrible to have to wait to do another scan, not knowing if the baby is alive or not. Any advice please?
