I think I already know the answer to this as it was clear the the sonographers think I’ve miscarried (and gave me a leaflet about it)
I went for a private reassurance scan at 7 weeks. I have older DD’s already and no experience of miscarriage, but am now 40 and had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago.
It took a very very long time to find anything and she kept asking about my dates and said she would refer me to EPU. Then, right at the end, she found a heartbeat. Apparently the position of my uterus was making the scan really hard (I’ve never had this before at any scan). She showed us the “flicker” but I couldn’t see it.
Was referred to EPU anyway as she thought it might have implanted in my csection scar. So, I was up all night panicking about ectopic pregnancy and what that would mean.
I went for the transvaginal scan at the hospital yesterday. The woman found it straight away and said it had implanted in the right place. So I was happy.
But then she showed me that she could not see a heartbeat , and that it measures 6 weeks. 4mm I think. I am sure of my dates of 7 weeks, although can allow a day or two for later ovulation.
They had a discussion , on the other side of the curtain, about whether they can accept the heartbeat scan info from yesterday, as evidence of miscarriage, or whether they have to wait 7 days to rescan.
They called their colleague who had carried out the private scan and she said it was such a difficult scan that she would rather wait the 7 days to recheck.
So, I am stuck really. Feeling in my heart like everything is going to be okay, and feeling very pregnant still. But knowing in my head that it is not good news and they we are only waiting 7 days because of the guidelines. My DH is still saying we don’t know for sure and it might still be okay
