keys, they don't expect to see a heartbeat until 6 weeks at the earliest and even then it's not a guarantee- 7 weeks they should definitely see one but definitely not yet. Most likely everything is fine Smile

guy thanks for replying hun I feel so emotional atm. I thought I was 6 weeks 5 days but measuring 5 weeks 4 days going by the clear blue test I took this is right as well I was2-3 weeks last week then 3+ on Thursday making me 5 weeks.. I was just convinced I was over 6 weeks and would see the heartbeat. This is worst than the 2ww lol I feel so so worried.

I know for a fact they would of said im very sorry but this likes a non visible pregnancy but she didnt seem worried at all cause the sac and everything was fine.

Fingers crossed hun im sure when I hit 13 weeks ill look back at this at laugh and give other people the same advice youve given me :).

Thanks hun

Wow loads of good news on here today,lovely too see.

I'm 6 weeks if I make it till tomorrow (time of my 1stmc) then I will have two weeks of waiting for the length of my 3rd mc to be nervous about.

My scan has now been put back to the 21st which is two weeks today.seems forever away,actually 2 weeks today at this time I will know if everything is ok . 14 long days.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 07/04/2015 16:28

I'm trying not to have the date I mc in mind. Actually I'm not even sure which one it would be- the date it stopped developing (7 weeks), the date it was discovered (9 weeks) or the date I finally mc (11 weeks).
I'm past the first date at least. All pregnancies are different though so I don't really think the dates have any significance.

Congrats amyyy sounds exciting

Amyyy27 · 07/04/2015 17:29

Thanks everyone Grin

Mat leave is fine but will not be entitled to mat pay from them only the government. But thats fine the extra money i will be making from this job i can save so im no shorter than if i stayed where i am and got mat pay and still better off. Plus the stress of my current workplace is the main issue anyway so just want to get out!

keys as others have said try not to worry as it is too early for hb anyway! Are you going back for another scan for reassurance when hb will be visible?

keys27 · 07/04/2015 17:45

Congratulations Amyyy27 hun.

Yea in 10 days hun. I cant stop crying though im so so low. I would advise anyone not to go for a scan between 5-7 weeks because your just end up worried sick. I took a clear blue again still saying 3+ weeks my first response line came up so quickly on the positive line and strong. Just got to try and keep busy until next friday now its out my hands.

Thanks for lovely reasurring messages. It really does help xxx

keys27 · 07/04/2015 17:45

sorry was meant to say I wouldnt advise an early scan not would.

gennibugs · 07/04/2015 17:51

Congratulations amyy. Great news! I'm totally with you on stress being the overriding factor but sounds like money wise you'll be ok anyway.

keys I'm so sorry, I can imagine how confused and scared you must be feeling. But as others have said a heartbeat can normally only be detected from 6 weeks on and often that's still too early. Try to take heart from that. I'm glad you've got another scan booked.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 07/04/2015 18:21

keys there is nothing about your situation to suggest that everything isn't fine, honestly. If you are not sure of ovulation and are only 5+4, they definitely wouldn't see a heartbeat. Of you are certain you are 6+5 then it is very possible the measurement is wrong. Apparently the margin of error on these machines is at least 1 mm. Your tiny baby is only about 4 or 5mm and so that margin of error is over a week!

When I was having my mc, I was really annoyed when people said that my dates could be wrong- but that was a 9 week pregnancy measuring 6 which wasn't possible. That would have many I had a positive pregnancy test before I even conceived.

But it isn't false hope with you. It's just so much more likely that everything is fine.

chasingtherainbow · 07/04/2015 19:02

Hiya keys. I had a early scan due to previous ectopic. I held on to 6+4 because I knew a hb wouldn't be visible and how stressful I'd find it if I had it done any earlier. Obviously your dates were a bit out so you wrong to know and it was a bit of a shock.. I can understand why this has upset you. But from what you say, the dating and what they saw makes sense and is entirely plausible discrepancy - like guy said, 3 weeks is different but a few days is so normal. My scan showed baby at 5+5 and then 2 minutes later was 6 weeks spot on. I knew I was 6+3 and I'm a billion percent on my dates.

Keep positive lovely. This isn't over for you x

keys27 · 07/04/2015 19:14

Big hugs guys thank you ever so much for responding to me you really have helped me a great deal tonight. I have two beautiful girls already so I feel so lucky but when you get your head around your going to be a mummy again from the first time that positive line shows up you already start developing a little bond with the bean and you just want reassurance all the time. Me and hubby were talking I was quite unwell after my AF on 19th Feb. Had so many scans as thought I had crohn's disease he said I said we cant DTD this month as to dangerous. So we DTD late that month past what I thought was ovulation. Which would mean I did ovulate late which caught me out. So fingers crossed dates are wrong as I wernt keeping checks on them.

Again guys TYSM for your kind support I will keep u all updated. So far no pain no bleeding and still got sore boobies and feeling sick. And my HPT's are still really strong so if I weight it all up the positives outweigh the negatives. Gotta stay positive otherwise will end up stressed and that is no good for the little bean.

Good luck on your journeys ladies your all so so lovely I really do wish u all the best.xxx

chasingtherainbow · 07/04/2015 19:18

You weren't* to know... not wrong! !!

.. i had my booking in app today and I have my big folder. Felt so weird getting it. I never made it to booking in last time and it's been 4 years since dd pregnancy. I never thought I'd hold one again. It all felt so surreal.

keys27 · 07/04/2015 19:23

chasingtherainbow Im so so happy for you. Made me a bit teary that. Enjoy every minute of your pregnancy hun sounds like youve been through a ride of it all. Cant wait to hear about your scan when when you see 5 little fingers and 5 little toes :) xxx

chasingtherainbow · 07/04/2015 19:28

Thanks keys! My scan pic is on the old thread. My next one should be early next month!

keys27 · 07/04/2015 19:31

Sorry hun just read back your near to meeting bubba? Do you know what your having yet? u must be so excited xxx

chasingtherainbow · 07/04/2015 19:39

I'm only 8+1 today, and I don't think we'll be finding out xx

Gr33dyeggs · 07/04/2015 19:45

Thanks all. Scared about having a family of 4 in our little house and hoping the OH comes round soon. But overall I'm happy.

Still got the niggly pains so hoping its just growth. I might treat myself to some mama Mia rub Smile

keys hand holding here until the next scan, but as others have said there's nothing happened to suggest anything sinister.

MsJ did you get to gp or epu?

Oh and congrats on the job amyyy!

keys27 · 07/04/2015 19:55

chasingtherainbow Sorry lovely i'm getting so confused got sore eyes lol. If baby sticks I think we will find out. Unfortunately I have had 2 premature births as well one at 32 weeks and one at 27 weeks on the scan they said I have a heart shape uterus like a kink in it so a consultant will be needed next week as well. I wonder if thats whats caused my premature births. So lots of scans in line for me I wont be able to not ask after 20 weeks. Do you have sickness?
Gr33dyeggs Thanks hun for lovely message. I am keeping everything crossed this is going to be awful next 10 days. I am wondering whether or not to book a private one for Monday to put my mind at rest but still could be to early. Awww a big family thats what I want I am sure 4 will be will fine very tiring and expensive xmas mind you lol.
xx

Gr33dyeggs · 07/04/2015 20:06

Oh, there's not going to be 4 children! Just 2 all being well.

keys27 · 07/04/2015 20:12

Gr33dyeggs I see now hun. We have a really small house when I had my second we coped fine. We had to move in the summer she 1 and a half but that was only because I didnt like the schools for my eldest. Now if all goes well we have the same problem 3 bedrooms but family of 5. You always find a way to cope.

Good luck on your journey hun going to log off now before google sends me into a frenzy.

Thanks again for support guys xx

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 07/04/2015 20:37

Finally found a good smell: vinegar. Weird but it's the first thing I've smelled in weeks which hasn't made me retch. Didn't fancy eating any though.

Glenpip77 · 07/04/2015 22:06

Congratulations gr33dy - fantastic news on your scan.

Also congrats to you too amyyy - so exciting to have a new job .

Keys hope you manage to stay as calm as possible about things over the next few days. As everyone has said Dating early pregnancy is definitely not an exact science, and the margin for error is quite big considering the size of the embryo at this point. FX you just have your dates wrong and your mind is put to rest when you see a healthy next week xx

chasingtherainbow · 07/04/2015 22:09

I need to make a terrible guilt ridden confession and I don't know how to articulate it.

This pregnancy has been such a huge focus.. getting pregnant that Is.. and now it's here and all the anxiety and I have horrible moments when i wonder if I've made the right decision to keep trying/have another.

I know. I'm. Awful.

Gr33dyeggs · 07/04/2015 22:16

Me too chasing OH is far from on side. Small house, reduced income, big age gap, older parents. I firmly believe ds not being an only child is for the best though. Desperate for a healthy sibling for him.
