6 week scan showing 4 weeks - very worried

[DaisyCot]

I’m wondering if theres any hope that I might still have a viable pregnancy - I still have symptoms, really sore breasts, fatigue and nausea at night; so was feeling really optimistic at my 6 week scan today. However there was only a sac measuring 4 weeks, nothing else.
I can’t be only 4 weeks as I ovulated on the 11th/12th according to OPK’s; my last period started on 24th June but I have 31day cycles- making me 6 weeks today or so I thought.
I’ve had no cramping, and only a tiny bit of brown when I wiped one morning at 5 weeks. Otherwise nothing.
Is there any hope or am I likely to misscarry soon?
I have a baby shower to go to this weekend and I’m dreading it now :( my next scan isn’t for 3 weeks I don’t know how I’m going to wait that long.

Go to a private scan company. Put your mind at ease

Did the sonographer give you any idea of how likely it is to be viable? When I had a missed miscarriage, they invited me back for a scan the following week because I was measuring 2 weeks behind. I was 8 weeks though, so I wonder if the reason they didn't schedule a scan so soon is that it's too early to tell in your case.

If you didn't get a clear idea of what to expect from the sonographer, maybe you could call them back for more information.
Another option would be to book a private scan so you aren't waiting 3 weeks.

No they didn’t say anything about it being viable- only that it could be I got my dates wrong but I can’t see how that’s possible. they were insistent that I go straight to a&e if I have any pain or bleeding as they thought it could be ectopic as I’m still having symptoms- but they didn’t see anything else.
It was a private one I went to- thinking of trying a different clinic in a week. Is there a chance having a tilted womb can make things look different?

I had a private scan when I thought I should have been 7-8 weeks and they told me I was less than 5. Went to a private scan 3 weeks later and they were right, my dates were wrong and I wasn’t as far on as I thought. Maybe you are the same? I’m now 23 weeks. Good luck xx

Sorry to hear this @DaisyCot. Was it abdominal or transvaginal?

I have a tilted uterus and it's possible that could impact on what they see. I had a missed miscarriage in April and in my second follow up scan they did find the pregnancy which they hadn't seen in the first scan. The only difference was I was on a cushion to prop my pelvis up. They're so tiny at this stage. I'm sorry you're in limbo.

Is it possible you can go to the early pregnancy unit?
