Ok, I know I'm clutching at straws :-(

Earlier thread below - scanned on Thursday, thought would be 8-9 weeks, measured 5-6 weeks, erratic heartbeat and probable dead twin next to it.

I've been trying so hard to accept that all is over and that next week's scan will confirm this. But I've been googling :-(

I have a tilted uterus and I've seen that this can make things measure 2 weeks behind (glimmer of hope?) but the measurement was taken with an internal scan so would this still measure behind?

Honestly, I think it would be easier if the glimmer of hope was quashed so please, can someone just tell me to stop googling and move on?

Thank you!

Stop googling! Where there's a heartbeat there's hope. Sorry about the twin. Wsending you positive vibes

I will tell you to stop googling and move on, but I also need to say that yes even with an internal scan you can measure two weeks behind when you are not (happened to me). Hope your next scan is not too long away to hopefully get an answer. Being in limbo regarding pregnancy is hard.

Thanks for your responses, it wasn't good news yesterday so I'm going in for erpc on Monday.

Knowing is far better than the being in limbo, despite the outcome.

Daisy I'm so sorry. I hope the erpc is as ok as it can be. I had one last year - it was grim emotionally but physically not too bad. I got pregnant three months afterwards and am now holding my DD

Thank you Googie

I feel like I've done a lot of my grieving already and having the bad news confirmed was actually a relief as I knew deep down the pregnancy had failed.

I've got my 9mo dd to keep me busy but also have got my parents arriving on Sunday for 3 weeks so have plenty of childcare so I can recover.

How are you feeling today Daisy? I hope you're being looked after.

Thanks Googie. I had a bit of a meltdown on the falling off the bus thread last night, I'm struggling to sleep and the mc seems to have exacerbated the other problems in our relationship Sad at least, the other issues I have...

But a good friend took me and dd out for a long walk today with my pooch and her pup so I feel better for getting away from these 4 walls...

Falling off the bus stinks, I've been there and hated it.

Sorry to hear you've got extra challenges at the mo, but sadly it's not surprising - it's so all consuming there's not much space for anything else in your mind, but that's not the case for everyone around you.
