Possible Missed Miscarriage

Hi all,
This is my first pregnancy and I'm trying not to stress.
My LMP was 27th July but I didnt get a positive test until 12th September on clear blue stating 2-3.
So Thurs 20th, i had a little brown spotting that turned into light pink spotting with cramps that made me lose my breath and hunch over. So the midwife booked me in for an early scan.
All that we could see was the ges sac- no yolk (i explained to the drs just because ny LMP was july i could have conceived around mid august)
The drs were worried it was ectopic so they booked me in for another scan the saturday where they found fluid near my ovary and this was more or less confirmation for the drs. Bearing in mind ive had no more pain or spotting. And on the saturday the ges sac had grown by 2mm and my hcg levels had increased from 2000 to 3500.
I said i wanted another scan before making any decisions and on tuesday 25th i had another scan and more bloods. Bloods had risen from 3500 to 5100 and sac had grown 3mm (now nearly 10mm). But no yolk sac but no fluid either so it could have been a cyst. The drs have offered me the tablets to remove the sac. Ectopic has been ruled out.
I have another scan Tuesday, but I'm feeling rather silly questioning the drs diagnosis and theyve said this is their final diagnosis and scan.
If i conceived the 20th august as per the clear blue, i have only just gone 5 weeks- surely this is too early for a diagnosis when hcg and baby sac are still growing?
I know being in denial is part of grieving but I dont want to do anything rash and potentially get rid of any chance this pregnancy might have.
Has anyone had anything similar? Im still currently convinced that its still too early but im starting to doubt myself. After this next scan tuesday 2nd I am still going to push for one more scan the week after because at pushing 7 weeks we should have confirmation right?

If ectopic has been ruled out then there is no rush to take the tablets. I would want to wait another scan just to be sure especially with your levels still rising. Xx

Thank you for your reply, ges sac is now 15mm and hcg levs are 13800(should be atleast 21500 after the 7 day wait) still no yolk. I have another scan monday with a eprc (i think thats what it is called?) Booked for afterwards as i will be 8 weeks then (dr said the earliest i could be today is 7 weeks)
Im not holding onto much hope now. Although they said it is strange for the hcg levels to keep rising as they have done- all 3 drs agreed this wont be a continuing pregnancy. I get married in under 2 weeks so i think its for the best i stop tormenting myself and my boyfriend with my hopes.
I will update after mondays scan incase anyone else has this in the future xox

I had a slightly different experience as the scan showed no heartbeat at 8 weeks so there was something to be seen, but it seems unusual that hcg levels are rising.

See how the scan goes on Monday. I completely understand how hard the situation must be especially with your wedding in a fortnight!

Do not feel silly questioning anyone at this time!! As heartbreaking as it is, please keep asking questions because if you didn’t you would just be thinking them afterwards. Flowers

I had this in April. My Hcg levels were rising but not as much as they should have. Had 4 scans but nothing developed - just an empty sac.

I started spotting at 10 weeks on a Saturday (first scan was at 6) and on the Tuesday the miscarriage started properly. I then had a d and c on the Thursday as the recovery time was better and because I was cramping continually. Looking back I am glad it started naturally as I would have always wondered if I'd taken tablets etc. But also the wait was horrendous with the doubt and hope creeping in and the over analysing if any symptoms.

I'm sorry. It really sucks. Thanks

Hope you are doing ok x

KeeleyLouT · 13/10/2018 09:57

Thank you all for your messages, sadly this time wasn't meant to be- I had a D and C on Monday just gone due to the recovery time.
Time to look forward to the wedding and Disneyland with my stepdaughter and husband to be and try again 😊
I'm ok in myself, i think because it was empty the hardest part of it all was giving up hope that someone could be there. Drs signed me off for 4 weeks but really thinking about going back to work in another weeks time.

I had a bit similar. So my last period was 27th August 2017. Got my first positive 12th 2nd September. Got booked on for a early scan because I started spotting brown and then bled light pink and the found the sac but no yolk. Told me to come back after a week and they were very confused saying I must of got the dates wrong because they could see the sac getting bigger so thought I was earlier than thought. But the. They said there was no yolk again. And then I ended up passing and mc 1st November 2017 😔 not conceive since and really worried we won't. I get upset every month not as much as last year but I think about it every day and it's a year coming up soon so no doubt I'll be crying. I'm really struggling too. Anyone had a baby after a year of a mc?

Tas88 · 15/10/2018 08:07

Hi KeeleyLou T,

I can't find the choose file. I might be going blind lol or its not there. The only thing i can see at the bottom of the message box is the icon smiley face and the (I) font change icon. X

KeeleyLouT · 15/10/2018 11:18

Hi RPC, my cousin had 3 different types of mc including a blighted ovum and she now has a beautiful 2 year old but it did take over a yr from her last loss. Don't give up hope- have you spoken to a dr?
Tas, this is what i get.

@KeeleyLouT
Hey thank you. Yes we have been to the doctors and he just says eat health, exercise, keep trying. And he was like well it hasn't even been a year yet. But I keep thinking it's nearly a year and still nothing 😔 x

KeeleyLouT · 15/10/2018 14:24

@RPC28
Try not to be too discouraged and try not to stress too much. The more stress the longer it will take unfortunately 😔
try to relax and I'm sure everything will work out. I think our bodies know the right time and everything before we do. I know it's not very comforting as a lot of my friends tried for yrs for children. I'm a little late compared- but you'll be just fine.
I'm just so sorry you have to go through this - it's really crap.

Thank you @KeeleyLouT it's lovely to be able to talk to people on here. I find it hard to open up to people face to face 😔
