measuring small and h/b slow at 7w5d - is it all over?

[curlyLJ]

had a second early scan yesterday and still measuring small at 6w1d - altho has doubled in size in a week - and h/b still on slow side. Is this all over?

Have to have another scan next week, but this is so stressful and it's the not knowing that is the hardest. I've not had any spotting/cramping and still feel pg - altho I don't tend to get lots of symptoms.

Oh, how stressful :(

It's not all over until they tell you so. Sorry I have no useful advice but hopefully someone with more experience than me will be along shortly. I'd be encouraged if baby has doubled in size in a week though, that sounds like pretty good going.

Your scans are very early BTW - was there some medical reason for checking this soon?

sorry should have said, we had IVF, a frozen embryo transfer. We already have a DD from our first ever IVF.

Ah, right. I'd advise re-posting this in the Infertility section (despite the fact you have a baby on board, sorry!) as I've had a quick look and they seem like they know their beans about IVF/embryo transfers etc. They will probably be more help than me, anyway.

Good luck :)

Hi! No ivf for me, but had first scan at 6w1d. Doc said pregnancy was in good position but no hb. Just had another scan today (8w2d) and h/b is very low (didn't get measurement) and measuring 6w3d. Am feeling pretty glum about it all, and google brings up some unpleasant posts...

Back on thurs for more b/t...see if hcg levels are increasing...
Am curled up in bed trying to console myself...

Oh joberg I know exactly how you feel...and it's so bloody crap and unfair! I just don't know what to do with myself, the waiting is driving me insane and all I keep doing is crying. Fingers crossed for you on Thurs hun. I have to wait until Monday, but I figured by then we will be able to be absolutely sure without any doubt.

There is a website called misdiagnosedmiscarriages.com that I have found some encouraging stories in about dates being off. I think I am clutching at straws though as I know in my heart of hearts that if this was going to be OK, there would have at least been a strong h/b

xx

I know, but a little bit of hope keeps us going, I think? Thanks, will check out website now. Keep resting...and let me know how you get on. Xxx

Sadly game over for me, scan confirmed no heartbeat due to abnormal chromosomes. Hope it's better news for you. X

so sorry Joberg - ((((hugs)))) hope you are OK. I guess at the very least it must be a releif to actually know for certain?
I am really struggling with the not knowing and being in this limbo situation of not knowing if I belong on the pg board or the miscarriage one!

I am feeling very nauseous but I don't think it's got anything to do with the pg, i think it's sheer anxiety I'm not even sure I particularly 'feel' pg anymore and just want to cry...

Take care of yourself. X

You are right, it is a relief. And they were able to talk me through their findings, which actually helped. Often, you are not given a reason for the miscarriage.

I know how you feel though. I managed to hold it together until I was about to be seen. But once I realized there was no heartbeat, then I felt calmer. Am not sure how long it will last, but that's where I am right now.

Rest over the weekend, please let me know how you get on. I will be thinking of you! Xxx

How are you doing Joberg? Are you having an ERPC or are you letting it happen naturally?

Only 2 more sleeps until we find out our little beanie's fate... am cautiously hopeful, but being realistic. I want to know but then I don't IYKWIM? Didn't think this would be so hard. Have discovered that it's not until you are faced with a m/c or threat of one that you truly understand how it feels

Sorry you are going through this Curly. I never realised how nerve wracking and in limbo you could feel in the first few weeks. I really hope that everything is ok.

It's game over for me I'm afraid - found out yesterday that the beanie didn't grow after last week's scan and there was no h/b

Devastated but also kind of relieved after that awful wait. Dr thinks it was a chromosome issue, but nothing can take the pain away at the moment...

I'm so sorry to hear that, it's horrible news to receive. Just make sure you look after yourself the next few days!!

I'm so sorry for both of you. Thinking of you both xx

Really sorry to hear that curly thinking of you x

Hi Hun, sorry to learn that your little beanie didn't make it either. I had d&c at local hospital, everyone was very kind. Been a weird week, lots of friends keeping me busy but then quite low when alone. Poor DH bearing brunt of it, but it is early days. I can only hope that you have been surrounded by as much love as I have this week. Thinking of you xxx
