Anembryonic pregnancy

[GiraffeCat]

I had a scan last week, I wasn't sure about my dates but thought I was either 8 or 12 weeks pregnant (my last period had been a bit odd so I wasn't sure). On the scan there was just an empty sac and they took some bloods, called me in 48 hours later for more bloods and now I have to wait until Saturday to have another blood test and a scan. I've been told they think it could be an anembryonic pregnancy.

I just feel devastated. I was measuring 18mm then, the pregnancy was only measuring 6-7 weeks and they said with my hormone levels they should definitely be able to see something. I'm just finding it so hard, and so difficult not to let hope creep in. I know that there have been cases of misdiagnoses but I don't feel like this will be the case here. All the professionals have been lovely but very somber and like they're trying to prepare us.

I'm having really bad morning sickness at times too which just feels unfair. Today I had a really strange craving and then just felt so miserable as what's the point? I feel like I've failed.

I'm not sure why I'm posting really, I just feel so alone and so sad. My husband is trying to be supportive, but I think he is a bit in denial really. I have a nearly 2 year old and I'm finding it so difficult to manage the sadness - I find myself getting really grumpy especially when he climbs all over me.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Hi OP, so sorry to hear what you're going through.
Last summer I fell pregnancy and had an early private scan at 9 weeks. It was a suspected anembryonic pregnancy. I had to wait for another scan a week later which confirmed it was, my sac was shrinking. I ended up having surgical management as my body was hanging on and I wanted it over with. They said it was a missed miscarriage and the likelihood of it happening again was very unlikely.

I hope it works out differently for you. I too was devastated and still think about my lost bean now.

Look after yourself and fingers crossed it's good news for you x

Thanks FluffyBunnyTails.
I had another scan on Saturday and it was confirmed. So I'm going in tomorrow for medical management.
Sorry you have experienced it too.

So sorry @GiraffeCat
I hope it all goes as well as if can. Give yourself time and plenty of rest. It's so raw right now, you will never forget but it does get easier xxx
