help...

[yummymummy03122010]

I took a pregnancy test last thursday and it was positive. Took another one couple days later and still positive. Ive had 3 miscarriges so im very paranoid and stressed aboit the whole thing. Terifed even. I went for a scan yesterday (not pregnancy related was for other reasons) however i told them i conceived about 2 weeks ago. So instead they did a internal scan. They couldnt find anything. no sign i am pregnant. They said it could just be too early but they sent me home and said technology is pretty good these days so pretty sure your pregnancy wont carry on. Which means ive gotta wait to mis carry. Im a right mess. Has anyone else had something like this. Could it just be too early to show anything. I still have all the pregnancy symptoms an have had no bleeding or pain. Please help i just dont know what to do with myself. Im crying constantly. :( they said to take another test in week time.

You can't see a thing at 4 week which is where you are now so don't worry at all! At 4 weeks it's a tiny bundle of cells, probably not much bigger than a grain of salt! If you're really worried ask if you can have a reassurance scan in about 3 weeks when they will see a sack, a yolk sac, a fetal pole and a heart beat!

actually I think it's the size of a poppy seed if I remember correctly but not big enough to be seen!

Thank you! The women that did my scan was not very nice at all. She had me in tears. And then she made me feel stupid because i said well ive had 2 positive pregnancy tests. She just said to me that i wanted it so bad that ive fooled the tests into being positive! :/ ive been googling all night an it is possible. I was worrying aboit losing it before now im 100x worse. Its like im waiting for it now! :(

Please try not to worry, alita is correct - it's too soon to see anything at the scan! 6 weeks can still be too early sometimes to see much.
Try to stay positive, hoping this little one sticks for you!

Thank you. Its so hard to stay positive knowing ive had so many miscarriges. And perhaps im not pregnant an because i wanted it so badly ive fooled my body into thinking it :(

I had an early scan this time to check pregnancy was in the right place (after 4 losses) at 5+3 and they said that was the absolute earliest they'd expect to see anything - just a sac and yolk, which was what they expected. It's very rare to get false positives on a test and that was an awful thing for the sonographer to say!
Come and join the pregnancy after MC thread - it will help you realise your fears are normal, but that success is possible even after multiple losses.

I can't believe the sonographer said that to you. How horrible. I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure you can't get a positive unless you are pregnant and as for willing yourself to be pregnant and that influencing the result - personally I think that's rubbish and a particularly irresponsible thing for a medical professional to say.

Jeez, if I could have willed myself pregnant I would have had hundreds of false positive tests before I finally got my bfp when I was actually pregnant. I understand false positives are extremely rare.

It will be teeny tiny at the moment and what others have said above makes perfect sense. I will keep everything crossed for you. In the meantime try not to worry too much (I know that's pretty impossible as I worried myself stupid in the first few weeks but try anyway). Take care x

You can't see a thing on a scan that early, if your period is late, you're getting positive pregnancy tests, then is say you're pregnant.

Go for a scan in a few weeks.

Agree with other posters - unbelievably unprofessional scan lady and you can't see anything really until 6 weeks. Take it easy, be kind to yourself, and take one day at a time, or one hour at a time if you're struggling. And don't be tempted to google, that way madness lies. There's a lot of support on here if you need it.

Thank you all for ure advice and support. Im just hoping she was wrong and all sticks an goes well. Just cannot shake to doubt in my head :/

What a horrible thing to have to worry about when you're already nervous. I went for a scan when I got the BFP as it's procedure here. They couldn't see anything at all either, which led to two weeks of panic. I was 5 weeks, but by 6.5 weeks, everything was there and going well.

I don't know how it works in your area but if you want reassurance while you're waiting for a scan, you could ask for a blood test to check HcG levels? It checks they're rising properly and might help you relax a bit? You have one and then another 48 hours later.

Omg I can't believe she spoke to you like that! Agree with everyone it's to early to see anything :)

Although scans are 'supposed' to show something (minimal) at 5+ weeks..in the early days the difference of which day of the cycle you've conceived - can be be huge. So technically you are too early for a scan. You need to calm down, trust the preg test & try to forget the (terrible) sonographer.

When I rang up for a scan at 6 weeks, I was told to wait another 9 days as they may not be able to see anything and I could be disappointed, a scan is only done sooner incase of pain or bleeding - and even that only to rule out ectopic. So they can't see anything much in the uterus at that stage.

Fingers crossed, all will be well.

Thank you. Im trying to stay calm an take each hour as it comes. Im glad i wrote this post now as you have all put my mind at ease for the time being.

I will go to doctors and speak to them about it amd see what they can suggest i do next. :)

Thanks again everyone.

Fingers crossed my lil jellybean sticks in there for me!!
