Miscarriage or not?? Need some advice please x

[HopeForKaz]

Hi all,

I am hoping someone can shed some light or experiences good or bad! I should be 7.2 weeks pregnant today, I took some pains last week at 6 weeks and had a u/s at the EPU. It was a transvaginal scan! As a result all they could see was a small sac that was measuring around 3-4 weeks with a faint pregnancy test! A week later (yesterday) I went for another u/s and the sac has slightly grown but not a lot! I am bleeding moderately with small clots on/Off and cramping! I initially thought the miscarriage was well progressing since the bleeding started after the first u/s (8 days ago) but since then the sac has slightly grew!!!!! I still have positive tests and pregnancy symptoms! And my head is messed up! Has anyone any experience of this happening to shed me some light on what’s happening to me! I am almost certain it’s a miscarriage but now I’m 50/50! I’m back in 2 weeks for another u/s if my tests are still positive then!

Any experiences ladies good or bad I want to hear please x

P.s they did not do a blood test! Just said wait to see what happens x

If they are not seeing a fetal pole and a heartbeat at 7+2 I'm afraid I would consider it a very bad sign, unless you think you may have got your dates wrong and could indeed be about 5 weeks.

It sounds like things are kind of growing but not properly or at the right pace. Just means it’s going to dragged out. I’m really sorry!

[HopeForKaz]

Thanks for your replies! I am in limbo :(

This is my 7th pregnancy, I was lucky to have all problem free healthy pregnancies so this has came as a shock!

I am kind of looking at the possibility of late ovalation? I know I should expect the worse but I suppose I am hanging on to hope...

[JoJoSM2]

Oh wow! You’ve been very very lucky to have 6 healthy pregnancies and no chemicals or a miscarriage along the way. I’m sorry it’s so unlucky this time.

[HopeForKaz]

I know jojoSM2 I do consider myself very lucky and I am really gutted and confused this time!

The bleed i have and scan is making me give up but the strong pregnancy symptoms is giving me hope! Thank you so much for your reply!

I was hoping someone somewhere experience the same and could tell me either way what to expect!

It doesn't look good I'm afraid. By 7+2 there should be a hb. The slow growth points to an eventual loss. I'm so sorry. I've been there 3 times. The limbo is awful. Be kind to yourself. Could your dates be wrong?

[JoJoSM2]

As in dates 2 weeks off? And conception only 3 weeks ago?

[HopeForKaz]

I did 26th October which came back negative, then the next day 28th October I had a positive text (faint)

JoiedefuckingvevreThe first day of my last cycle was 27th September! I am confused with it all as I was spot on with my last pregnancies! Sorry to hear you’ve experience this 3 times :(

JoJoSM2 I am kind of hoping I’ve got my dates wrong and I am early! It’s hard to understand, I am trying to understand the possibility of late ovalation!

[JoieDeFuckingVivre]

Late ovulation possibly and healthy sperm can live up to 7 days in the right environment inside. Give us your dates.

[JoJoSM2]

Hm... Going by the date you first tested positive, you'd still be about 6.5 weeks.

[HopeForKaz]

Sorry if all this seems too muxh information but to give you an idea;

1st day of last cycle was 27th sept

On 15th October I had what seemed like a brown spotting which lasted 5/6 days (wasn’t heavy) I have never experienced that before .... on 26th Oct did a pregnancy test which was negative then the next day 28th Oct I did a test which came back positive!

I am totally confused! And thanks for your help

[HopeForKaz]

I too was guessing I’d be around that week but yesterday on the u/s the sac had slightly got bigger from last week and definitely wasn’t showing to be 6 weeks :( thank you for your help! My head is so mixed up with all this! If it wasn’t for the strong symtoms then I wouldn’t be so confused but I’m preparing for the worse!
