Hiya all

Wow what an emotional rollercoaster of a week! So last week I had an early scan due to previous early losses at what i thought was 6w5d from date of lmp. The sonographer scanned me internally for all of 5-10 seconds and declared that the sac was totally empty no embryo looked like my body had absorbed it.. no f/pole expect to miscarry and day and even said to me about booking a d&c for that week 😳i was heartbroken and at an utter loss all week going through the motions of daily life like a zombie googling obsessively just trying to find a bit of hope to hang onto 😭

Throughout the week i have had zero pain or bleeding and if anything my pregnancy symptoms have actually ramped up a gear have started experiencing severe nausea and sore boobs..

Fast forward to today and saw a different sonographer..i couldnt even bring myself to look at the screen i was shaking with fear and anticipation to hear the bad news 😣😭She was so lovely to me and found a fetal pole and embryo but only measuring at 6 weeks exactly. She said she doesnt believe is a mmc but of course early pregnancy is fragile cannot make any promises as was no cardiac activity but at 6 weeks gestation that is considered to be normal. I have to go back in 2 weeks to check again for a heartbeat 🙏🏻
but at this point i hope i can finally get some reatful sleep tonight xx

sounds like you could have ovulated later than thought. Have they booked you for a rescan in 2 weeks?

Hiya yes they have on the 11th of december. My booking appointment is the 6th of december she said to not cancel and still attend. She was honestly so kind i was an absolute mess i think just a build up of all the emotions from the past week! I wasnt tracking ovulation at all but the last time in october we baby danced was late (12/1am) the 21st october i know this as was my sons birthday. Flo app said that i ovulated the 19th but again wasnt tracking with any opks etc..My first positive on a clear blue early detection 10miu test was the 30th october, the day before halloween i only tested as me and the kids was going to my friends after trick or treating and she makes a famous home made punch 🤣so working out if conceived then i would of tested positive at 9dpo?

She did say obviously cannot confirm 100% viability until heartbeat seen but for now that i can stop holding my breath 🥹🙏🏻

Xx

Have you spoken to doctor about progesterone due to previous early losses? The clear blue are very sensitive so there is a chance of detecting pregnancy early, implantation can vary from person to person. Sounds positive, hopefully you see a tiny heartbeat in 2 weeks time. Wishing you all the best!!
