Hi all..really hoping for some words of comfort or someone who has had a similar experience.
I went for an 8w early reassurance scan at my hospital last week (previous natural mc meant I was referred for an early scan). On that scan the nurse could see a gestational sac and yolk but no foetal pole..I was told to come back this week where they expected to confirm miscarriage.
This week I went for the rescan and foetal pole is now visible but still no heartbeat. I now have to come back again next week for a third scan, if there’s no heartbeat by next week then they will confirm mc.
Two staff scanned me and both agreed I look about 5-6 weeks, but by my dates I should be 9+1. My cycles are always regular usually 26/27 days, I track my periods using an app and ovulation using ClearBlue ovulation sticks and I noted all the dates my husband and I had sex…I just can’t see a way where it makes sense that I’m only 5-6 weeks pregnant. My last period was 19th of August and I tested positive to be from the 14th of September.
Has anyone else been in this situation? Is there any way I could actually be only 5 weeks pregnant and this will turn out to be a positive ending? I can’t see it happening and am waiting with absolute dread for a miscarriage to start but with the slow growth and coming back to hospital each week for scans I don’t know what to think anymore. My previous natural miscarriage was awful because it was so unexpected but this long drawn out process is driving me to the brink. I’m still getting pregnancy symptoms of nausea and sore breasts (although the symptoms are lessening) and I feel like I am losing my mind with stress worry and overthinking.
Thanks for any advice x
