Hi 😊 I’m new here but after a day where I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck I feel like I need to offload.
I had been ttc for years and in the end last October I went on the pill whilst I give my well-being a rest and started new job. I then started missing my pills (due to work) and started heavily bleeding on approx 8th September for a week and then came off the pill fully on 16th September.
I then got my first v v v faint positive and positive Clearblue digital on 14th October and off I went to the midwife where she calculated as of today I’d be 10 weeks 2 days. However I knew she was going off the bleeding and not the date I came off the pill so knew I’d be a week or two out.
I’ve then had next to zero symptoms apart from tiredness and all the questioning made me book a private scan today.. where I was faced with what felt like a lifetime of silence. I was then told that the baby etc was all there, however, I was actually measuring 5 weeks and 6 days.. a while five weeks earlier?? The lady then turned round and said ‘look the heartbeat is slow, can you see that flicker it’s slow’. I was then shocked and overwhelmed and it wasn’t till I rang my mum and broke down that she asked what the heartbeat actually was. I then rang back and asked and they said ‘the baby was too small for us to measure the heartbeat it’s just slow. But we can send you a video of it’ which I can’t bare to look at.
I’ve spent the past six hours googling dates etc and my dates just do not add up how I could get a positive on 14th October and only be five weeks, six days today. All they told me was to go get another scan in two weeks.
Has anyone ever had any experience of this? I’ve googled every statistic under the sun but I don’t know what the heartbeat is actually measuring.. just that it’s slow ☹️
