8 week scan not great news but hopeful

Hello,
I would love to hear from other mums who have been through this or similar....
My last period was 1 May 2015 with potential and likely ovulation on 14th May.

First scan June 10th gestational sac 3mm

Second scan June 17th gestational sac 8mm with dates measured at 4 to 5 weeks at a guess.

Third scan July 1st today gestational sac 11mm and fetal pole 4mm with dates measured at 6 weeks.

This mean there has been hardly any growth in 2 weeks and there is no heartbeat yet either.

So my dates would be at least 2 weeks out.

Sonographer said there was a 95% chance I would properly miscarry in the next short while. I have had cramps and some light bleeding over the last few weeks , hence the scans.

HOWEVER I have the most in-explainable sense of hope. There is some tiny patches of bleeding int he uterus would could be implantation bleeding or the beginnings of gestational sac disintegration.

Bloods for HCG being done today, Thurs and Sat.

I have read stories like this online this morning and wondered if I could get some advice. I am sorry if this thread is just another one of these kinds of stories.

My midwife says I should remain hopeful until proven otherwise.

I feel quite sad too, especially without a HB at an assumed 8 weeks with a 6 week old fetus.
