Is this a missed miscarriage?

[Wilcoswife]

I had what should have been my 12 week scan today. The ultrasound showed an empty sac and my sonographer said this was either the start or the end of a pregnancy. The size of the sac looked to be around 5 weeks. I’ve been booked in for another scan next week to see if it’s progressed and I’ve just got my dates mixed up... I don’t think I could have got my dates wrong by 7 weeks. Do you think the sonographer was avoiding telling me I’ve had a missed miscarriage or is there a tiny chance that I lost the original pregnancy then got pregnant straight away again without any bleeding in between? I feel completely numb and embarrassed that I told so many people but it’s not going to come to anything. The limbo of not knowing hurts the most

I'm so sorry you've experienced this. I had the same. Had scans and they showed a pregnancy weeks behind where it should have been (empty sac) and I was told at the hospital oh it may be earlier than you expect. I know from the dates I had sex that was t possible and it ended up with me bleeding A few days later. The upside is the next time I had sex (literally a week after) I was pregnant again.

I’m sorry you went through this too. We were so excited and ready to be parents. From what I’ve read online I hear that my body still thinking it’s pregnant and preparing for a baby is a positive and means the chances are next time it will work. I’m just so devastated. I just don’t want to get my hopes up that there’s still a baby. The not knowing for sure is the hardest part

Yes I understand that totally. Honestly, not trying to bring doom and gloom, but I would go forward assuming the pregnancy isn't viable. The good news (not being flippant about your loss) is that after this you will be in the best position to conceive again.

We actually had two losses in a row, I used Preseed to conceive with both of this and yes it worked but I now think it worked in the wrong way.. as in made a pregnancy happen that would never have been viable.

I'm so sorry you are in limbo as it's the worst place to be. Knowing it's over would be so much easier than the hope you currently hold 💐

Do you have a child already? I had one before my two losses and if I hadn't already had one I would have thought I had some sort of problem but it is SO common. I know that doesnt make your loss any easier but please don't think you'll have problems in the future xxx

I don’t take it as doom and gloom, I think that sounds more real instead of trying to keep from hurting my feelings (I don’t blame the sonographer, I get that that must be a difficult thing to tell someone) I guess I was looking for someone to confirm my fears instead of sugar coat them?
This would have been our first child. We had only been trying to conceive for a little over a month so I know we were super lucky to have managed so quickly compared to couples that have tried for years. I guess it’s a good thing that we managed to conceive so quickly in the first place and the fact my body still thinks it’s pregnant is a good thing because it shows it can be pregnant. It just feels like a mean trick for it to play to be pregnant without a baby

I’ve had two missed miscarriages. I was supposed to be around 8 weeks but it was the equivalent of being 4. I started bleeding both times so that’s how I just new. Don’t beat yourself up it’s not something you can control. Stay strong and don’t be afraid to ask for support from those close to you
