I am about 11 weeks pregnant based on one cycle of ttc since coming off the pill. About 3 weeks ago I had really bad cramps and some bleeding and a complete loss of any pregnancy symptoms overnight. I called my GP who referred me to the PSU at my local hospital for a scan.
At that point, they could see a pregnancy sac and a yok but not a heartbeat so asked me to come back a week later. At the 2nd scan, the embryo had grown a millimetre and they found a very weak, sporadic heartbeat. We had to go back today for another scan and it had grown by about 2mm but again still had a very weak, sporadic heartbeat. They have said that it's almost guaranteed to end in a miscarriage but that the PSU can't do anything until there is no sign of a heartbeat.
These last 3 weeks have been really tough and I don't know what to do for the best. We can choose to have a termination if we want to but part of me thinks that if there is still a heartbeat, maybe there is a chance. I'm trying to be realistic and not get my hopes up but at the same time, I don't want to make the wrong decision too soon and regret it.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Should I put myself through another 2 weeks of waiting and then have the medical intervention? They said it is very unlikely that if I went back in 2 weeks that there would be a heartbeat....but I just don't know what to do for the best.
