Hi Everyone,
I went for a private scan on Wednesday when I should have been 8+1. I don't track ovulation and periods haven't been regular since I had surgical managment of a MMC in October. But I got a positive digi 4 weeks ago today (Friday).
At my private scan they told me there was a fetal pole and yolk sac but no heartbeat and it was measuring way behind my dates. I knew from this that I was looking at another miscarriage so I phoned the early pregnancy unit for some advice. They were very helpful and arranged a scan for today as they wouldn't use the private scan. I went in fully expecting the same outcome. But in fact the fetus was still way too small for my dates but there was a very slow faltering heartbeat. They've arranged to rescan me in two weeks if I haven't started bleeding by then and we've discussed medical management.
What's really bothering me is the tiny flicker of hope I can't get rid of. The very experienced ultrasonographer did say there was a very slim chance of progression and I almost wish she hadn't. I had already accepted that this was another loss (my 7th) and now I'm in limbo waiting for them to confirm that my pregnancy has failed. I'm not stupid, I know there's no hope but I can't stop hoping all the same.
Wondering if anyone here has ever had a pregnancy progress from this? I think I just really need to hear from some ladies who have been through the same.
