Hi, I've just joined but this site is the only place I've managed to find any useful information and wanted to ask my own question.
I went for an early scan last week when I shoukd have been 9+5 weeks due to some spotting. I'd gone prepared for the worst but expecting good news and I knew spotting was fairly common. However, at the scan I was asked if my dates could be wrong because it looked like a 5 week pregnancy. My dates were water tight, there's no chance I could only be 5 weeks (I'd had a positive test 7 weeks before!) I was told it was most likely a missed miscarriage and to go back in 7 days for a re scan. Since then the bleeding has got worse but nothing more than period bleeding. The heaviest bleeding has been going on for about 3 days now but it's not been more than period bleeding. Me and my partner know it's been a misses miscarriage and we've been grieving about it since, but I've since seen people write about having heavy bleeding through pregnancy and everything being fine? I know I'm holding onto the tiniest thread of hope, and the fact that the scan only showed a 5 week pregnancy seems conclusive to me. But has anyone been in a similar situation? Next scan is Thursday this week - I was going to cancel but I'm going to go just to make sure.
