I had a viability scan yesterday due a suspected ectopic and should have seen something that resembled my dates of 6+6. Instead there was a small, empty gestational sac dating 4/5 weeks.
i was sent home with a 'we have to wait and see, you may have your dates wrong' and am back again in ten days. I know we last BDd on mon 27th feb and I had a faint BFP 12 days later on 10 March (we were trying), so i dated my pregnancy from the Tuesday 28th- i should be 7 weeks today. I don't have my dates wrong. i did another pg test today and it was the strongest one yet, I still have all my symptoms and have had no sniff of any bleeding or cramping.
Could it be remotely possible that this one is a late starter (do you get late starters?)? The sonographer was insistent that some babies take longer to 'catch' (what does this mean) and Dr did not want to encourage me to think all was lost but then... It was an empty sac - where's my baby? DS was such an easy pregnancy but they did date him as having been conceived the week after we BD'd (DH was very proud of his super sperm!)... maybe my babies to take a while to get off the blocks? Or is it really likely that this baby stopped developing 2/3 weeks ago but my body is increasing in HCG?
Thank you so much for reading; I am such a mess sat here trying to finish a PhD but also waiting to miscarry. my family are meant to be leaving me alone for easter to work but I wonder if I should ask them to stay if i might start to miscarry? :( Such a sad time.
