Hi, I'm terribly worried and dr hasn't really explained. LMP was 14/4 which would make me 7 weeks today. Positive test on 19th May confirmed by bloods (HCG 102) an CB indicator all point to me being just over 4 weeks when I found out. We have been trying over 2 years and under fertility consultant. Had ovarian drilling op where they also found endo and heart shaped uterus on 2nd March. Couldn't believe it when I got positive test but at 7 week scan last night they could only see gestational sac at 4.2m, no yoke or anything. They want me to come back on 14th for another scan and took blood today. I'm terrified sonethings wrong. They said my dates could be out but how would I have got hpt bf on 19th if they are right and I was only 2 weeks? Though at 2 weeks you only just had implantation?

Don't worry about it, you would have conceived much later than you anticipated! Congratulations! Don't stress, if there's a healthy heart beat there's a healthy baby!! X

Molly I think you've misread the op. There was no heartbeat seen, just a very early pregnancy.

Op - it's possible your dates are out but the hcg wasn't very high and given the scan I would prepare yourself for bad news. It sounds like the pregnancy hasn't progressed. Are they going to repeat the bloods they did today? The hcg should give you an idea of what's happening because it would be well into the thousands by now.

I do think you should prepare for bad news but you cannot know for sure until the next scan. I'm so sorry you have such a horrible stressful wait. Fx for you.

AppleMagic · 03/06/2016 00:53

I'm really sorry but I agree with Northern. The same happened to me last year but I was a bit further along. I knew that my dates couldn't be so wrong because of when I got a +ve hpt.

MollyAmelia2015 · 03/06/2016 00:57

Sorry I meant if there's a heartbeat at your next scan! Didn't mean to cause any confusion x

Thanks for answering and you kind responses. Hubby is eternal optimist and keeps telling me not to worry but everything iv read looks bad. They are phoning me at 4 today to let me know HCG blood test results from yesterday. Will let you know x

Hi all just an update, blood test results are HCG 1398 which means they have roughly doubled every 72 hours and dr said would put me around beginning of 4 weeks which matches scan. She seems to think my dates where way out as have pcos and everything's ok allthough won't know for sure until scan on 14th. Still worried but have some hope to hang onto for next couple of weeks Confused

Hope you get good news on 14th. Early pregnancy can be such a stressful time.

KittyandTeal · 04/06/2016 18:52

Ah if you have pcos then your ovulation date and cycles are likely to be really off.

With hcg levels that match the scan I'd say things are probably OK atm

MollyAmelia2015 · 16/06/2016 18:17

How did your scan go Hun xx

allyd84 · 16/06/2016 18:59

Hi, thanks for thinking of me, feel very alone as although Hubbys great have no gf to talk too. Scan on 14th showed sac had grown but still empty, went to epu clinic yesterday who did another scan and said it had grown again slightly in 24 hours so they said there was still the tiniest hope, (although still empty). They took bloods and got to go back at 9am tomorrow for more bloods. They will compare HCG tommorow and have said if they confirm pregnancy is not viable I will have d&c on sat as supposed to be going to Italy on Tuesday for 2 weeks. If they can't confirm anything I am still going to go on trip and just keep everything crossed that baby's hiding and I'll be ok whilst im away. It's the waiting and not knowing that's so hard, thinking there hope one moment me then convinced there isn't the next. 🙄X

So sorry to hear what you're going through must be so frustrating not knowing what's happening.. Try not to get your hopes up too high, easier said than done as nobody wants to think the worse.. Could be possible as you're still so early that nothing is on scan as at my 6 weeks scan I could see anything, which made me really nervous as id had a previous miscarriage however I have a healthy 13 month old! Got everything crossed for you, try not to worry or stress as you'll just get yourself worked up for no reason as you don't know what you're worrying about yet! Stay positive! Xxx

allyd84 · 16/06/2016 19:23

Thanks, trying not to worry and keeping everything crossed but know logically it's a real long shot. Will let you know how I get on tomorrow X

Sorry you have had sad news op Flowers.

sugarplumfairy2010 · 17/06/2016 21:15

Im so sorry for your loss hun i have just gone through similar so understand how heartbreaking it is. Mine was a mmc but i had three scans between 6 and 9 weeks before it was confirmed. I had the operation aswell and was feeling more normal within a week physically anyway.x

MollyAmelia2015 · 17/06/2016 22:00

So sorry to see this!:( 💔💔

allyd84 · 18/06/2016 14:34

Well, got to hospital, in gown, said bye to hubby and was taken to theatre. Was in anaesthetic room when surgeon came in and said to take me back to holding as he needed to talk to me. Asked me to phone hubby who was in hospital canteen and asked him to join us. Surgeon said he was a locum and would not do op as although he agreed with consultant who told me yesterday it was not viable he wanted another scan next week to confirm as didn't feel he could by 100% sure. So they have sent me home to wait and see if I miscarriage as going to Italy on Tuesday for 2 weeks do they cannot do another scan until I'm back. He has said I will possibly miscarriage on holiday. I don't know what to do. I don't think i can cope anymore.

Oh no. So sorry to hear you've been left in this kind of limbo. Hope somehow you can still enjoy your holiday but I know it will be hanging over you the whole time.
