Hi everyone, I've just come back from a very confusing ultrasound... here are my dates to add clarity:
17th April - Transfer of a 5 day 3BB embryo.
22nd April - Positive HPT
27th April - HCG 140
2nd May - HCG 2335
15th May - Ultrasound today showing no yolk sac, possible tiny fetal pole.
Today was my first ultrasound, the earliest date that was offered to me. My clinic do not do ultrasounds before 6w3d. I was under the impression that I was 6w4d today. Initially the consultant said that he couldn't see anything, but then saw what you can see in the photo plus what looked to me like another hazy bit nearby. He asked for my date and when I said I was 6 weeks and 4 days, he and my midwife said I was only 6 weeks exactly and therefore there wasn't anything to worry about in the scan, that it is just too early to see much. They've said only 6 weeks because it is exactly 4 weeks since transfer but isn't the age of the embryo at transfer supposed to be included in the gestational age? If I am only 6 weeks, why was I allowed to book for today? I can't help but feel my clinic are just trying to give me false hope while I wait for the follow up scan next Monday but I am the sort of person who just likes to hear things as they are. I really can't work out what's going on here. I've also had some bleeding on and off for a week which the clinic also aren't concerned about.
I've attached the photo of today's scan below. To me, it looks even further behind than 6 weeks so I'm honestly not hopeful. Has anyone had a similar experience? What should I think?
