Early scan, LMP dates 2 weeks out...worried.

[Ducksandacorns]

Advice needed please. My early scan today at the EPU has added to my existing worry about this pregnancy.

I had an early miscarriage at 4/5 weeks in October, spotting from 17th October and passed a clot on 22nd October.

I had a very light period/spotting 16/17/18th November. Partner and I had sex on the 28th November.

Positive pregnancy test on 10th December.

From my LMP dates I thought I was 7 weeks 3 days today.

I visited the EPU this morning due to left side stabbing pain, back ache and shoulder pain over the past 3 days. I had an internal scan and thankfully the pregnancy is viable. Fetal pole measures 3.1 mm and a heart beat was seen. Sonographer has dated me as 5-6 weeks.

I'm a little worried as the scan date is 2 weeks or so from where I thought I would be.

Any advice much appreciated.

Only to go to A&E if it gets too bad but I've had 3 'natural' miscarriages before at home so hopefully I can cope with this one too. The EPU staff are lovely but there isn't really much advice they can offer x

@moomin11 probably not something you want to think about yet and don't know your area but I'd really push for investigations re your recurrent miscarriages. Would the Tommy's charity offer any advice?

I did think that, for closure if nothing else, but I have no idea where to start. Do I approach my GP? How is your pregnancy going? Hope all is good

Have a look at:

It doesn't mention that the miscarriages have to be consecutive. And depending on where you live some referral criteria only states two losses. Looks like you need to go to your GP and ask for a referral. May be worth giving them a call?

Thank you @ducksandacorns that's really helpful, will definitely take a look.

How are you @moomin11 ?
