7 weeks measuring 5

17 replies

JunkyardViolin · 02/08/2019 18:13

Been for an early scan today after suffering recurrent miscarriages.

I'm supposed to be 7 weeks but I am only measuring 5. She said it's everything they'd expect to see at 5 but not 7.

This will be my 8th miscarriage (when it happens). I feel like I'm on the verge of collapse. I want to just leave and not think about anything again. I feel like going to the Drs and asking for a note for work and just fucking off somewhere.

I don't know how to face the normal world anymore.

I’m very sorry. You must be feeling so sad and disappointed and angry.
Get the note. Go somewhere and have a change of scenery. Be kind to yourself.

Agree, get the note and have some time to yourself. Please be kind to yourself. Flowers so sorry x

It could go either way, I've had miscarriages and they suck but my last pregnancy (successful) I had similar was measuring 5 weeks 4 days with no fetal pole and I was sure I was over 7 weeks 2 weeks later measuring 8 weeks 6 days with a heartbeat. You can get through this whichever way it goes. Be kind to yourself and I hope you get your baby soon Flowers

Also after 8 I would get the note and get away!

I had this 2 weeks ago and at return scan today they confirmed the heartbeat had stopped. Just deciding which way to treat it now. I'm very very lucky to have had 1 successful pregnancy, this is my 3rd miscarriage (2mmc and 1 very early natural) so cannot imagine how you are feeling. Get the note, take some time. I feel mentally exhausted.

Thank you.

It's just so hard because I still feel pregnant. My breasts are still super sensitive this morning and I've been up since 6am feeling sick as a dog, no bleeding or anything yet.

If it's going to happen I just want it to happen now.

I hope you are doing ok, the waiting must be agonising Flowers

So sorry for what you’re going through OP. When you feel like it and if you need to, ask your GP to refer you to Professor Brosens and Professor Quenby’s Implantation Clinic at Coventry Hospital. They take NHS referrals from anywhere in the country and are doing cutting-edge research into for recurrent miscarriage. I saw them after my fourth and fifth miscarriages at 11 and 12 weeks for tests and advice. Thanks to the drug protocol they gave me to follow, I now have a healthy one-year-old daughter.
Wishing you all the luck in the world.

So sorry for what you're going through. Do you have people to support you?

I’m so sorry, it really is just awful.

Is the only issue the size? I had an early scan after 4 losses that was off of the dates I was expecting. I spent the next 4 weeks worrying myself sick that it meant something was wrong but at my next scan baby was measuring where I thought and all was well. At this point they told me the early scans are not particular accurate for dating (wish they’d said before), so if it is just that that’s off, it may not mean anything. I know that won’t help any, but worth trying to bare that in mind while you drive yourself crazy while this is going on.

This whole process is just freaking torture and I think totally normal to feel the way you do right now. It’s just not fair! x

BananasAreTheSourceOfEvil · 04/08/2019 22:23

I went in thinking I was 7 weeks (convinced of my dates), spotting, sac measuring 5w, no fetal pole, no HB. Told I was miscarrying and to come back the following week- where there was a fetal pole and the sac had grown.

I'm 25 weeks now.

Very easy to say now as those few days were torture- but dont give up hope yet and I hope you have a happy outcome, in the meantime, please try and be kind to yourself, do you have much support? Flowers

Daughter been for an early scan today, came away so worried. Clear blue test read 2-3 weeks three weeks ago. She is not at all sure of her dates as her periods are not at all regular. The vaginal scan showed a sac and a yolk and a dot she said but no pole as yet. Considering the clear blue said 2-3 weeks 3 weeks ago she’s very upset and confused. Any advice anyone please.

@Hftb it’s better to start your own thread than to resurrect an old one. I’d try in the pregnancy boards too.

Hftb · 14/02/2022 08:07

Thankyou for replying I’m new to this. Need a look around.

T00Ts · 14/02/2022 08:27

That’s ok. Let me link to the pregnancy board. It’s a well used one so someone will be able to advise.

That last message was for you @Hftb
