Thank you ladies.

I do agree the early scans are much worse I think I'd rather wait till 12 weeks or 10 lol!!

We're see in 9 days I guess I just hope something progresses. Atleast she said it's in the right place I'm just taking comfort from that and my several positive preg tests ahaha xx

Kocerhan3 · 19/02/2018 20:57

@Elizabeth2018 it's my first day back tomorrow (after scan so we'll see how that goes) either way I've made peace with either outcome so hopefully being around colleagues and having something to focus on will be good as is has for you! :) still got all my fingers and toes crossed for all the ladies on here having worries and doubts. We're stronger than we seem xx

I hope you get some good news at your next scan. I had this and unfortunately it turned out to be a missed miscarriage and my baby had never grown beyond 6 weeks. But a friend had this and when she went back there was a heartbeat and everything was fine.

Good luck xx

Alicejj8x · 19/02/2018 21:09

Yeah I've had a missed miscarriage before it was rubbish so Hoping I am just super super early and next week we're see some improvements

Kocerhan3 · 20/02/2018 11:30

For us it wasn't meant to be and everything stopped developing around 5, I've passed naturally so now it's accepting and moving on - the positive from this is that after 2 years of tests and uncertainty of infertility, at least we know it can happen and will happen again :) @Elizabeth2018 hoping you're okay and wishing the best results for you x

Elizabeth2018 · 20/02/2018 18:04

Arh I’m so sorry to hear that. It will happen again be strong. Xxx

Sorry for your loss. Hope you are getting love and support from your family. Thanks

Alicejj8x · 25/02/2018 20:49

@Elizabeth2018 oh I am so so sorry xxx

Cosmoa · 26/02/2018 07:25

I have the same confusion! My last period due date takes me to April 30th but my due date is 21st May judging by my first scan (around 9 weeks)...

We can't move house until mid April and In really worried I'm gonna go into labour 'early' before we've had chance to settle...

One If the midwives I saw was really confused but nobody has been able to explain this to me Confused

Elizabeth2018

So sorry, only just saw you last post. Sending all my love!! Xx

So sorry for your loss Thanks

Kocerhan3 · 27/02/2018 10:27

@Elizabeth2018 I know how you feel, and I'm so sorry this has happened. Stay strong, we can do this xxx

Elizabeth2018 · 27/02/2018 18:15

Thank you kocerhan3

The scan found I have a retroverted uterus and after reading a lot it’s apparently harder to see anything early on.

My last attempt is a scan this week, but deep down I know it’s over.

Just no bleeding or pain yet, so carrying on as normal at the minute xx

I only just saw this thread. The same thing happened to me - I was supposed to be 7+3 at first scan but measured 4mm and they put me at 6 weeks. I knew that couldn’t be right but was fobbed off saying I must have my dates wrong.

Started bleeding at 9+3 andhad a scan - they had to go internal (I also have retroverted uterus) and it hadn’t grown. Diagnosed MMC.

That was end August and my first pregnancy aged 38, almost 39.

The reason I’m posting, however, is to give you hope. That experience was awful and I can’t sugar coat it - it’s shit and you will obviously be devastated. However, chances are you’ll go on to have a healthy pregnancy. Doesn’t make this any less shit but the feeling won’t last forever.

I found out I was pregnant again on 11 Jan, having turned 39 in September. We had a scan today (at 10+2) and baby wriggling away. It is measuring slightly ahead. I’ve been awfully anxious throughout and never thought we’d ever get this far but we have.

Chances are will be the same for you. You’ll get through this. Allow yourself to grieve, take the time you need and try again. Lots of love xxx

Alicejj8x · 27/02/2018 20:14

@coastalchick I'm so sorry to hear about your MMC as I am with @Elizabeth2018

I've had a MMC and it's horrible :(

Hope your both okay and congrats @coastalchick with your pregnancy.

I to found out I was preg on 8th feb and have a scan tmo as my last scan they couldn't see a sac so I'm hoping tmo they can see a sac and date me as I'm so unsure how far long I am. Worried that they didn't see anything o my last scan on the 19th Feb but my clear blue only said 2-3 when I went for that scan so hoping I was too early to see anything

coastalchick · 27/02/2018 21:03

@Alicejj8x - thank you and I have everything crossed for you for tomorrow x

Alicejj8x · 27/02/2018 21:11

Thank you @coastalchick

Alicejj8x · 28/02/2018 14:41

Hello ladies
So I've had my scan today

And they said they saw a yolk sac :) they said they think I'm about 5 weeks from what then saw today and that everything is in the correct place

They told me to come back 14th March for another scan to check for the Fetus.
Is it normal not to see a Fetus at 5 weeks I've googled and I think it's pretty normal just any advice would be great thanks

Kocerhan3 · 28/02/2018 16:03

@Alicejj8x no it's way too early to see something at 5 weeks, next time will be much more exciting. Im glad everything is going well for you, early but exciting days

Alicejj8x · 28/02/2018 16:07

@Kocerhan3 ahh thank you!!
Yeh I thought that's all it was just being early the scan lady seemed positive and happy but the fertility clinic was like just have an open mind. I think coz there going from my last period rather than listening to me telling them when I actually ovulated lol but I am glad it's progression since my last scan 9 days ago :)

Thank you xxx

coastalchick · 28/02/2018 16:58

Yep 5 weeks too early. They like to do it about 7 weeks
