Hello. So yesterday I went for an early scan. I was measuring 6+4 according to the Flo app which I have used to track my cycle for around a year. I have PCOS so cycles vary in length. When I had the scan they said that they could only see a gestational sac with nothing else in it. They have called it a pregnancy of an unknown location which means one of 3 things:
- I am earlier than I thought due to PCOS and therefore there is no need to worry. This could be the case as I do tend to ovulate later however I had cervical mucus 2 weeks after my period had started suggesting my cycle was on track to be within the usual 28-30 days. Before this, my average cycle was between 34-39 days which, if I went off this, would measure me at 5+3 yesterday. At around this time, it would be normal to only see a gestational sac.
- The pregnancy is not progressing as it should and therefore will result in MC.
- It is an ectopic pregnancy. However, I also have seen online that if they have seen a gestational sac in the womb, then an ectopic is unlikely due to this being where the baby develops outside of the womb?
Of course I have spent most of my night/morning googling what this could mean.
There are so many stories out there that say people have experienced this and have gone on to have completely healthy pregnancies.
I have been referred to my hospital and waiting for them to call. They said I should be seen within a week for blood tests and potentially another scan.
I’m just looking for anyone who has been through similar and would be happy to share their experience, whether that be positive or not.
Trying to keep my hopes up but at the same time getting ready to deal with the worst.
It’s such an awful feeling. I went for reassurance and I’ve come away feeling so lost 💔😢
