Normal for CRL not to increase by 1mm a day?

[nicola18737]

You may have seen my other thread about bleeding. I’ve been bleeding for a week and had 2 scans and everything looks fine I’m told. They don’t know where the bleeding has came from.

They have dated me a week earlier than I though which I’m ok with as I think I ovulated later.

I have read that CRL should increase by m a day, well I had a scan Wednesday at 9am and it was 3.8mm and one today at 3:30pm and it was 5.2mm. I would have expected it to be 6mm or more. Can anyone reassure me that this is normal and I’m just reading too much into things?

Oh I’m 6 weeks by the way

I wouldn't think anything of it but I dont know your situation. I've had 2 losses so had atleast 14 scans with my current 14 week old baby who is snoozing in her cot. She always measured behind and I bled from 7-17 weeks bright red with clots, I sat in the shower pouring with blood necking wine, I was positive I'd lost my third baby but she clung on, by 12 week scan she was a week ahead where previous scans dated. Baby is so tiny at that stage .1 of a mm makes so much difference and there so tricky to measure accurately. Hope all goes well for you, take care and take each day as it comes, then week by week it does get easier x

At only six weeks I wouldn't read too much into the measurements. A slightly different position of the cursor when measuring could account for the difference.

When is your next scan?

@Botanica it’s a week tomorrow

@nicola18737 @xJune88 hello how did you get on Nicola with your 3rd scan? June I could do with your insight... I am 4.8mm at 7 weeks 5 days, I was 3.5mm at my scan 8 days prior to this (internal scans). It was natural conception, but I'm 40 and so worried - the clinic was expecting bigger and said it's rare they catch up if this small at this many weeks. Do you have any experience of this?
Thank you both so much and I hope your pregnancies are continuing healthily x

Hello again - sorry to jump back on here, but wanted to share an update.

First @nicola18737 I hope your scan has gone/will go well. I'm sure it will. I'm hoping for you.

@xJune88 apologies I didn't read the thread properly when I first typed out a reply. Congratulations on having a baby! You must still be ecstatic after so much heartache. Your story shows how people like me need to keep positive for the possibilities that can happen.

My scan today confirmed no growth from Tuesday's scan and no heartbeat today. Very disappointing, but this has all confirmed

1. I can get pregnant
2. I can get pregnant naturally
3. I've been able to stay pregnant for 7-8 weeks (which means I might be able to stay pregnant next time (praying hands emoji!)
4. I can get pregnant at 40-41

So there is still hope! Two months ago I didn't know if I could get pregnant at all, and understood from the NHS my only chance was really through IVF (they didnt believe dye testing leading to unblocking of tube/s assists fertility - clearly getting pregnant straight away after 18 months of trying and nothing, suggests otherwise).

Good luck to the women trying so hard to have/grow a family! X

@Lndm it's not good news. I'm currently in hospital waiting for some tablets so I can pass everything out.

It's inspiring how you are going through the same as me yet you are so happy as it means you can get pregnant. Good luck for the next one.

Oh that is really sad. How disappointing. I'm so sorry for you. I felt sad and disappointed this morning, but had to go to work and hopefully will get to a hospital later today, and do feel better this afternoon as it is still such a positive sign to even be able to get pregnant! Some of the research I have read states that it is usual for women to have successful pregnancy/ies after a miscarriage. I'm not sure of all your circumstances. But I hope that once you feel you have overcome the sadness and disappointment of this loss that you will try again soon if that's want you want (the private fertility doctor recommended to me today to try again ASAP). I'm sure you will get what you want, soon or eventually. Don't give up x

I meant oh not other half

@nicola18737 so sorry to hear its not good news. I know what you mean I wasnt happy that i could get pregnant i was just devastated that i couldn't keep a baby. I hated my body and when i bled during my last pregnancy I really was about to give in. Please look after yourself, take time to chill and enjoy things you enjoy and dont give up. @lndm its lovely you have such a positive view probably the best one to have and that's fab news at 40! Hope you are ok you've still had a loss so take some time to deal with it but try again. It will happen for you both. Lots of love x
