You all thought the 2WW for the BFP is bad... I have far worse!!!

[milk]

I went for a scan yesterday. I am 5 weeks. They only found a sac and no yolk.

Basically they said I have to come back in 2 weeks to find out if I have a baby or not :(

2 weeks?!? It has only been 1 day and I am going insane!!!

poor you milk. sounds very hard. i wish you all the best for those two weeks and for the result.

I hate this waiting :'(

I wish I knew the truth, that way:

• If I have a baby I'll be very happy
• If I don't have a baby inside of me I can get very drunk and eat lots of soft cheese.

But for the next 13 days I don't know so I have to stay sober and soft cheeseless :(

Thank you nowwearefour

If I knew the truth at least I could either be very happy or grieve but now I just feel like I am in limbo :( I just feel so numb :(

Oh God, how awful for you. No experience of anything like this but I hope you find a way to preserve your sanity for the next fortnight.

Thank you BelleEnd

I am happy that the new episodes of The Office US and The Big Bang Theory are out tomorrow which will take my mind off it for about an hour :)

Then during the weekend I'm sure DH will say something insensitive so my thoughts will be on how to kill him rather than the scan :P

Oh i've been where you are, the waiting is horrendous. How far along did you think you ought to be? I really hope it's a good outcome for you. No yolk is ok up to 5+4 in any case. So it may be ok yet if you think you ought to be 5 weeks and not something much further along like 8 weeks.
As for the waiting, you need distraction. As much distraction as you can find. Box sets, lists of things to do, whatever distracts you best.

On the day of my scan KatAndKit I was 5+1 :D This does make me feel a little better :) My periods are irregular so I don't know if that number above is even accurate :(

I have facebook messaged my close friends to get them to come over and keep me company!

Oh well any scan at 5+1 is too early to tell you if the pregnancy is viable or not, you are still in with an excellent chance. All the best for your rescan, hope the time passes quickly for you!

I've been there, with mine they could see what they thought may be the yolk but I had to go back 12 days later to see foetal pole and heartbeat. Longest 12 days of my life. As someone else said though, it's normal for them to only see the sac at 5 weeks which you could take as things being right on schedule. Fingers crossed for you that in 14 days I see a post about the little heartbeat you'll see

Thank you ayearoverdue.

I think it is at times like these when you see who your real friends are, and I have had such kinds messages sent to me from my friends :)

I have been there with 3 of my four pregnancies... awful wait and also why many units won't scan you until you are at least 6w or if you are unsure of your dates they sometimes do bloods and look for a BhCG for 2000+

Hope you manage to find something to pass the time! I've just had to wait for 2 weeks for an amnio - this pregnancy malarky ain't easy! :)

SoozyWoozy, I do not know if the hospital tested my blood, although I did give a blood test and I do not know what else they'd do with it

By my next scan I should be around 7 weeks so hopefully they will be able to see more (keeping fingers and toes crossed)

Just wanted to say thinking of u I had scan was 5+6 but they couldn't see yolk sac was told to go back 2 weeks later only 2 find the yolk sac and fetal pole there. So I have my fingers crossed for you x

Thank you danielou. Experiences like yours and others are really helping me to feel positive :)

Hi, just to say the same happened to me and I am now 32w5d so they can be slow. The most horrible time but when I looked on the Internet there were lots of people who had experienced the same thing. Hope it works out well for you x

This time last year I had the same experience. I thought I was at least a week further along and so definitely feared the worst. I then had to wait over 3 weeks as I went on holiday for 2 weeks. At the time I almost cancelled it so I could have the scan! Anyway, DD is now nearly 5 months old and fast asleep upstairs!

My fingers are crossed for you...I know how awful the wait is xx

Another MN friend had a similar experience (albeit with a slightly later scan) when she was told there was no visible yolk and the measurements were far too small for a viable pregnancy.

She had a perfectly healthy little girl about three weeks ago.

There's still everything to hope for. FX for you.

milk, I did IVF, so got scanned about 4 million times before the embryo transfer. But once I got the positive result, they still waited till "6 weeks" (i.e. 6 weeks according to how you're dated if you conceive naturally) to do the first scan as they didn't expect to be able to confirm a viable pregnancy before then. It's just too early to tell anything. But what they did see with you was consistent with your dates so no reason to worry. One thing saying it and another doing it though, I know well, I've done a few of them.

Thanks everyone :)

At the moment I'm trying so hard to stay positive and trying to keep myself busy.
I was fine today until around 2pm in Sainsburys when I saw all this small baby stuff and I just wanted to cry :( I feel like I'm in such limbo :( If I knew the truth at least I would know and can move on accordingly, but at the moment I'm stuck.
