Early scan, dates 6 days out

[willithappen]

Looking for some similar success stories.

Firstly doctor told me not to worry. I know from this sentence alone that I shouldnt but this process is so intense it's hard not too. She also told me things are so small this early it's hard to measure properly.

Anyway, had seven week scan yesterday. Obviously as it's IVF we know it's seven weeks.
Got to see a lovely little bean and heartbeat and was told everything looked fine. Only thing is when she measured it was 6.3mm which they say is 6+1 days.

I have had a missed miscarriage before a few years ago so was in absolute panic before the scan.

Anyone else had anything similar? I know it's easy for dates to be off in early scans usually but wondering how common it is for ivf?

Hi, lovely. No personal advice, but I hope everything works out okay for you. Have you requested a scan in a weeks time? That will reassure you. I know how hard it is to go through miscarriages, it's heartbreaking. But if everything looks good, that keep positive. It's very common for babies this early to measure smaller as they are so tiny and I'm measure she/he will catch up. Sending love.

Thanks @Sunny56
Nope they discharged me from the fertility clinic and into GP/midwife care and left it at that. Nothing said about a follow up

I noticed from scans that my sack is measuring 6+6 which is a lot closer to dates. Called to get in with midwife but been told they will call me back next week.

I think I may go for a private scan just to check

I think private scan is a very good idea, for your own peace of mind. Have it done in a week or so, I think, as it will give you more reassurance. All the best for you.

Gonna go on Thursday for one
Reading lots of positive stories but then that one negative out the lot sticks with me and I convince myself that will be me too :( the anxiety!
