Can't see a baby. I'm supposed to be 6weeks 3days and I'm spotting.

[Pipsytwos]

Scan last week revealed I was 5weeks 2days, could just see a gestational sac. Had on off spotting on a few occasions over that time. Starting spotting again yest at 6weeks 2days. Went for a scan today and although she says things have progressed like now the sac is 9mm instead of 4mm and now you can see a yolk sac, there still isn't a baby visible. She also says I am measuring at just over 5 weeks still... I don't understand! How can it progress and still stay the same week? I'm confused. I cried the whole appointment. I have another appointment on the 25th if I make it that far.

I just need to know. I'm sure miscarrying, I'm just so desperate for it not to be true. I'd appreciate any advice/similar stories! :(

Sorry, can't really give you much in the way of advice, from reading previous threads on here though it does seem that early scans are not particularly reliable. It sounds quite positive that things have progressed from the first scan to the second. Fingers crossed for you, and hopefully someone who has a bit more knowledge will be along soon!

I'm sorry to say that the two times I had spotting and had a scan that showed a sac and yolk, but no baby, when I was invited back to be rescanned a week later it did show that I had miscarried.

My husband's friend, however, had this happen with his wife's pregnancy and when they went in for the rescan, things were fine.

So I guess it's a matter of waiting... The worst thing!

I think I'm going to try and prepare myself for the worst. I just hope that if I am miscarrying that I get on with it, so I can allow myself to deal with the reality and move on and one day try again. My OH refuses to think that anything is wrong but I'm convinced, I still have symptoms but somehow I just feel not pregnant. In a way I wish he'd just be the same as me so I can allow myself to be upset and have him comfort me. (I hope that doesn't sound selfish, I just need to grieve as I think hoping is harder and will hurt me more)

So sorry that this is happening to you, big hugs t you and yes take 1 day at a time! its nice in a way your OH has hope usually its the other way around!
your OH sounds like he will give you all the support you need tell him how u feel!
sending hugs to u - most of us have or are going through it also!

hi there, i think you'll know yourself well before the 25th what's going on. I'm sorry you're going through this. it's awful. I'm afraid personally I don't think this is likely to have a good outcome. I'm speaking from experience, having been in your situation several times. In some ways it's more painful to 'keep hoping' than to accept the likelihood that this pregnancy is not viable. i don't mean to be blunt - it's just that for me, the cruellest thing was being given false hope.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Obviously, I don't want to give you false hope, but is there any chance you could have your dates slightly wrong? The only reason I ask is that 6 weeks is still pretty early and an 8 week scan would probably be much more reliable. If you're a few days out on the conception date, you could well be slightly less and a baby with a hb is not guaranteed at such an early stage. The fact that there has been some growth is reasonably promising.

I'm sure you know your own body and I agree with sotough that it's pointless giving you hope for a pg that isn't viable, but I bled on and off throughout this pregnancy (particularly at the very start, when I automatically assumed I was having another mc) and I'm now 39 weeks, so it's not always completely hopeless. I'm just so sorry you have to wait to find out one way or another.

Updating this late because I remember feeling really frustrated that I couldn't get the answer because people would only question and follow it up. Unfortunately I did go back and see a heart beat which I was thrilled about but by the time I went to the 12week scan the heart had stopped and it had stopped growing by 8 weeks. I was gutted and opted for a d & c.

However about 3-4 moths later I was pregnant again and I'm now 37 weeks anxiously awaiting the arrival of my baby girl! Can't wait!

Sorry I didn't update before, I hope whoever reads this doesn't give up hope xx
