Miscarriage the same day as pregnancy is confirmed viable on scan?

[MaisieRed]

I am or was what a thought 6.5 weeks pregnant today and at 15:30 this afternoon, I arrived at the early pregnancy assessment unit to have a scan due to feeling dizzy constantly and having abdominal and back pain. At the Scan the Fetus had a heart beat and looked completely normal. In the right place but measured about 5 days smaller. Was declared a viable pregnancy.

just before the scan I had very light pink discharge, but thought nothing of it.
On the way home, not even an hour later. I started bleeding.
Got home, it looked like a light period. Then progressed into small clots. But just now I have passed a clot around just under an inch long.

am I having a miscarriage?
I don’t understand how even an hour later I could lose my baby after seeing their heartbeat.
I am going to call back the hospital tomorrow to hopefully get it confirmed or denied?

I am at a loss of words.

Oh you poor thing. Sadly this does sound like a miscarriage. My sonographer said to me that all the scan tells you is that things are ok in that moment - not what's happened before or what will happen after. Huge hugs x

It could be either way. I’ve had huge bleeding and clots and it still be viable. I’ve also had a loss where that morning the scanning tech told me I was overthinking it and here was baby with a heartbeat. I miscarried that evening, wasn’t surprised at all. Was confirmed the next day.

I hope you get the best outcome.

Hello, what happened in the end? Xx
