Hi Girls, wondered if anyone had a similar experience with good or bad outcome. I went for a scan at 7+6 on Thursday and was told that the baby only measured 3mm and I was more like 6 weeks. This isnt possible as I got my postive test result 4 weeks ago so this would mean I tested positive at 2 weeks, which as we all know isn't possible. They saw the sac and a possible flicker that could be a heartbeat but they weren't sure. Looks to me that the baby has stopped growing. Have to go back on weds 15th for another scan. Feeling quite sure that when I do it will be a mmc, dreading the next 2 weeks, have already had a mc and have been ttc for 2 years now so feel that it is never going to happen. Love to all xxxx

@Inga122333 oh I’m so sorry. There are a lot of posts on here for similar experiences and just as many have turned out OK so it’s impossible to know until you go back, I can’t imagine what that must feel like. My scan isn’t for another couple of weeks but I’ve had a similar worry and I have debated whether to cancel the reassurance scan because I’ve heard a lot of people say they create fear for this reason when it turns out ok in the end. I hope that ends up being the case for you! Xx
