Scan dates help please. I'm desperate for some positive stories

Can someone please help me understand what is going on here?

According to Ovusense (temp tracking device) I ovulated on 6th Oct.

Tested 13 days later and got a strong positive, plus clear blue digi saying 1-2 weeks (3-4, right?)

According to LMP I should be 8 weeks + 3 days today.

Had a scan ten days ago (when I should have been 6+6 weeks) which showed baby measuring 3.6mm so my dates put back by 3 days to 6+3 and no heart beat could be detected. Fine. Baby too tiny and perhaps my egg took it's time to travel.

I have just been scanned again today for reassurance/dating and baby is smaller at 3.1mm but we have a heartbeat.
This sonographer said baby is no more than 6 weeks.

I really don't understand.
I understand that there can be errors in measurements but I should be nearer 8 weeks, not 6!

So that is an error of two whole weeks.

Basically I'd have got a really strong positive at only 13 days pregnant when most women haven't even ovulated by that point.

I've been advised to go to EPU in a week for another scan.

This is our rainbow baby, I cannot lose another 😢

Can anyone tell me this happened to them and it was just a lot of errors with it being before 12 weeks or something?

I need to cling to some hope that we'll meet this little ray of hope. I've waited 2.5 years for this 😢

Hope you're ok @frazzlerock

Frazzlerock · 28/11/2018 12:27

I'm sorry, we've only just left the hospital. It's bad news. Our sweet baby has gone.

I'm going in for surgery on Friday.
As this is now the third time this has happened, our baby will be sent for genetic testing. Maybe we'll get some answers.

Thank you all so much for your hand holding and advice. I couldn't have got through this week without your encouragement

Frazzle xx

I'm so sorry for your loss and for everything you've been through. I've had two miscarriages this year and it was just the most awful time so I really do send you and your family all my love. I know I don't know you, but I followed this thread and was really praying for a positive outcome for you. Look after yourself.

Justincase87 · 28/11/2018 12:32

I'm so sorry you didn't get the news you hoped for - sending you so much love - it's heartbreaking - take care of yourself and I hope you get some answers and that you will get your rainbow soon X

hailstone1 · 28/11/2018 12:35

Ive been watching this thread all morning hoping for good news. I'm so sorry. This isn't fair and I hope you do get some answers and the chance to try again if you want to. Thinking of you xx

Frazzle, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I had really hoped it would be a positive outcome for you. I hope you have lots of support IRL. Best wishes Thanks

GabbyGal · 28/11/2018 13:24

Oh Frazzle I’m so so sorry xx

ChaosMoon · 28/11/2018 13:30

Oh shit. I'm so sorry Frazzle. Please take some time for yourself over the next couple of weeks.

I hope you get some answers from the genetic testing. My mum experienced something like this before she had me and my sister, so don't lose hope yet. Big hugs. Xx

ReggieKrayDoYouKnowMyName · 28/11/2018 13:35

I’m really sorry. I was watching this hoping for a good outcome. Thinking of you.

princessbala · 28/11/2018 13:41

I'm so sorry @Frazzlerock I'm currently going through the same thing, we had the same dates too and I'm also having surgery on Friday :( it's devastating news, mine is also getting testing as this is number 6 for me. I hope we North get the answers we need. Sending you so much love xx

Isadora2007 · 28/11/2018 14:01

So sorry. Sleep tight little 🌈 angel

BangGoesThatTheory · 28/11/2018 14:12

So sorry Frazzle but please don’t give up yet Flowers

Frazzlerock · 28/11/2018 14:36

I don't know.

After the second baby we lost DP refused to try again.
I was in what I can only describe as Hell for 2.5 years.

Yes he eventually agreed to try again, but 6 months later and look where we are.

All I can do is hope that he doesn't change his mind again. But I don't believe in hope anymore. I had so much hope for this baby.

I'm sorry for being negative. I just can't see how being positive helps when things inevitably turn to shit,

Also, I'm 40 next Summer.
Time is not on my side and with PCOS, it takes time.

I feel like this little rainbow was my last chance

OP posts:
princessbala · 28/11/2018 15:09

I think you can't really think about trying again just yet @Frazzlerock it's all such a shock, we found out about ours last week and my husband said he didn't want to try again until next spring... but he has not changed his mind and we're going to try again after some results from the karyotyping and my blood results.

I think just give yourselves time to heal from this and talk again because I know if I talk to my hubby too soon about something he talks without thinking.

I'm hoping after Friday it will bring us both closure, and we can then start to heal emotionally as well as physically xx

LovesLaboursLost · 28/11/2018 15:16

I’m so sorry. You need a bit of time before you can make any decisions, you’re still in shock at the minute.

Frazzlerock · 28/11/2018 15:18

@princessbala I'm so so sorry, I was so wrapped up in my own shit that I didn't say anything after your post.

I'm so sorry that life has done this to you as well.

I don't understand why we've been dealt this.

Xx
