Bad news at 7 week scan after FET, any hope?

[Sel86]

Hi all, sorry bit of a long one …

I am feeling pretty low at the moment. We had a FET on 6th June and I had my first BFP on the 19th June on official test day (yey!! Even tho the line was quite faint, I did a CBD test too and this said 2-3 weeks but nurse said I should have been 4+4 weeks)

We have been in a little bubble of happiness and excitement until yesterday when we went for our 7 weeks scan.
At the scan the nurse was not very positive. She could see a sac, yoke, embryo and even a little heartbeat but kept saying that the baby was measuring at only 5 and half weeks rather than 7 weeks.

I was devastated and spent the drive back frantically googling and looking for hope.
Has anyone had a similar experience and any words of advice?

I have gone from feeling light, happy and optimistic to right back to the lows of ever failed round and bad news. I think the nurses attitude did not fill me with confidence. All she kept saying was we need to scan again in 7-14 days and see if any development and I should keep taking the meds until then.

Feels like from her face and words it’s game over but still looking for an clinging on to hope x

Hi @Sel86 I have a similar story with a positive outcome (so far) currently 16 weeks.
I had a big bleed at exactly 6 weeks (lost about 1/2 pint) and was initially told it was a miscarriage, the consultant in A&E did a quick tummy scan and could see a gestational sac and told me to arrange a scan for a few days later at the clinic. At the clinic scan at 6+4 there were only gestational and yolk sacs, no heartbeat/baby blob and was told to go back a week later but prepare for worst.
A week later (7+4) there was a tiny blob with a heartbeat. I imagine if I went at 7 weeks there wouldn’t have been a heartbeat (the blob was tiny).
Having been told on 4 separate occasions that there is no chance and to prepare for the worst, I had another huge bleed at 12 weeks where I was admitted me overnight to monitor the blood loss and prepare for a miscarriage as my cervix had partially opened (it later shut in its own). The one thing I have learned is no one truly knows what the outcome will be and it is a waiting game (which is really tough). The doctors also tend to err on the negative side.

Also I’m fairly sure you can’t see a heartbeat at 5 1/2 weeks which is why they don’t scan until 7 weeks. I’m by no means an expert (but have had a lot of scans).

Thank you for your reply. It’s really good to hear from others. My mind is just racing and the waiting is horrendous.
I hope all works out well for you.
I thought the same about the heartbeat. Will just have to wait and see x

@Sel86 I'm in the depths of searching mumsnet forums and my story is exactly the same as yours and wondering what was your outcome?
I am getting re scanned on Friday after 7 days but don't hold out much hope

Hope it turned out ok for you xx
