No heartbeat at 7wks - should I be worried??

[BebeBelge]

Hello!

I am exactly 7 weeks pregnant and had a scan this morning. We saw the sac and something inside the sac but the doc couldn't get a heartbeat. I have been able to hear heartbeats previously at this stage in my other pregnancies so was a bit worried. The doctor has asked me to come back next week when I will be 8 weeks and says if there is no detectable heartbeat then, it will mean a misscarriage. Maybe I am out with my dates as I am a wee bit irregular but only by a few days each month. I have had problems in pregnancy before so go into pregnancies expecting the worst (wrong attitude, I know!).

But has anyone else had similar and then the heartbeat has shown up a week or so later and all is well, or do you think the fact that my doctor mentioned the 'm' word means he has a hunch and is trying to prepare me for bad news next week?? I so, so, so want this baby and am trying not to just sit on the floor and wail until next week's appointment, but can't really think about anything else at the moment.

Thanks for any insights...

I am so so sorry
Please look after yourself and be kind x

I had a scan at 6 weeks and 5 days, I was told I was measuring at 5 weeks and 5 days but can be 5 days either way.

The baby was measuring at 3.8mm and there was a heart beat.

On Thursday just gone I went to the toilet and wiped and there was a lot of clear gunky what I thought was discharge and streaks of pink blood in, I started to worry and went to a&e. I never thought of this outcome though .

There was a 5 hour wait at a&e so I went to have a private scan, they said they could only see a sac and no baby, I was so confused.

The next day (on the friday) i rang early pregnancy, they couldn't get me in for an internal until the Monday. However again I went for a private scan and this time had an internal. On the screen there was the baby, they said there had been no growth only to 3.9mm and was still measuring the same. They told me there was no heart beat.

I've got to go to the hospital on Monday where this will confirm but doesn't look good at all.
