I'm 8 weeks pregnant; my first pregnancy. I have Been having some brown discharge for a few weeks intermittently and then two days ago (Monday) I started bleeding fresh red blood and passed a small clot. Booked into epac for a scan yesterday morning (Tuesday) and had a trans vaginal scan. The sonographer asked if me if I was sure of my dates and then told me the foetus was measuring only 6 weeks and they couldn't find a heartbeat. Options are i either have my dates wrong or my foetus stopped growing at 6 weeks. I'm sure of my dates, but I've been booked in for a scan in two weeks (6 October). We are devastated. Since yesterday I've had some moderate bleeding and I'm now passing larger clots. I've not had any cramping but the bleeding is getting heavier. We're accepting that it's a miscarriage, but there's this tiny tiny part of me that can't help but hope that the next scan will show a bigger foetus and a heartbeat! I know it's foolish and I'm setting myself up for a fall, but I feel so helpless. It is so terrible to go to the toilet and see all the clots. I keep trawling message boards for information and now keep expecting to pass a sac or see a tiny kidney bean shaped foetus.
Am I stupid to hope? Have I definitely miscarried? What will happen at the next scan? Any advice so greatly appreciated.
