is there still hope in this pregnancy ?

[Robotoon]

According to my LMP I'm supposed to be about 10 weeks pregnant and I'm 100% sure about my dates (always regular)
I noticed a little bit of blood 2 weeks ago,contact my midwife and gp who advice me to go to epu.
Had my 1st scan on monday (4th) when i was suppose to be 8 weeks and 4 days pregnant. The scan only show empty sac size of 6weeks. They told me my pregnancy probably stop at 6 weeks but just to make sure they had book me for another scan the week after.
So I had my second scan yesterday (12th). I didnt had any pregnancy symptoms any more and spotting a few time during the week. So I already accepted that this pregnancy is over and that they would give me the 'options' how to manage it.
But yesterday scan shown the empty sac now has the yolk sac developing. The sac is irregular shape and there are some blood in the yolk (explain why i was spotting) and they want to do another scan next week.
I'm really confused and dont really know what to think. Is there still hope or this pregnancy is over anyway but just drag it a bit longer.

Anyone experienced anything similar ?My midwife sound positive about it but I dont want to get my hope up and to be crush again in a few weeks.

Sorry I haven't any advice but just wanted to wish you luck for next week - sending positive energy x

They should also be taking blood samples to monitor your betaHCG levels, not just scanning you and sending you away. Have they not been doing this?

I'm sorry, it doesn't sound very positive, but they and you have to be ure and waiting's the only way. It's really awful for you, any mc is awful, but this is torture. Wishing you a little miracle next week.

Quilty - yes they took my blood yesterday and i have to go in again tomorrow but said they won't/can't make any decision until the next scan anyway

I dont expect miracle really i think it will end anyway. i just hate that the longest week of my life now just extend for another week. I just want to move on

Unless your dates are way out, it doesn't sound very promising. The yolk sac shoud develop around 5 weeks, I think.

I've just been through something similar and I found the wait between scans absolutely awful. My symptoms had gone and I knew what was going on, but it is impossible not to cling on to a glimmer of hope.

It was also suggested to us to go back for a third scan, even though what was there had shrunk between the first two scans. We decided to cancel that and just wait it out, and also to stop the progesterone support (this was an IVF pregnancy and the drugs can give the body false signals). The third scan should have been today and I started mc'ing a couple of days ago. I actually feel better now I have "closure" and we can move on. The limbo was definitely the worst bit.

We didn't have blood tests, but I did use test strips at home to confirm the line was fading before deciding to stop the drugs.

I hope you are doing ok.

Oh robotoon, I'm so sorry you are going through this. We experienced pretty much the same last September and the waiting between scans was so so difficult. I was trying not to get my hopes up but I think I knew deep down that it was only going to end one way. My little bean put up a really good fight though....it was trying to grow and we saw a faint heartbeat at 2 of the scans which strangly gave me a bit of comfort that he/she was holding on in there. Sadly it ended in a mc and I'm struggling a bit at the moment. My EDD is in 15 days.

I had the option to have a termination before my final scan but we wanted to be absolutely sure that there was no hope left so waited that extra week. It was the longest week of my life but I couldn't make the decision to have a termination when there was even the smallest chance that things would work out.

I really hope that it turns out more positively for you. Just try and take care of yourself and take whatever time you need. I found it better to be busy so worked all the way through until my final scan, but just do what feels right for you as everyone is different.

Sending you hugs xxx

Thanks all for your kind words and positive thought.

I had my second blood test this morning and the result doesn't look good the hgc is dropping so it's a confirm miscarriage. But they still wouldn't do anything until next scan on Tuesday just to be 100% sure.

Very sorry to hear that. Hope you can find a way through this and get time to grieve for your loss.
