8 weeks 3 days pregnant, measuring 6 weeks

[HopefulButScared]

I don't really know what I want from this thread, I just need it out of my head.

DH and I have been trying for 17 months for baby number 2. Finally last month I got my BFP.

Over the weekend I had some light pink bleeding when wiping and lower back pain. GP referred me to EPAU yesterday for a scan. I should have been 8 weeks and 3 days, but it's measuring 6 weeks, only the start of a fetal pole and no heartbeat.

I have to go back next Monday for a re-scan to be certain, but I'm certain of my dates. I've looked at the dates again and it is impossible for me to be 6 weeks pregnant.

This year has been shit. I've not been able to see my family since January and March and there's no chance I will be able to for at least the rest of this year, in all likelihood it will be March/April at the earliest. I'm early 30s and all I want right now is to be able to hug my Mum. I have nothing left to give, I'm completely drained now. I really thought nothing more could go wrong. I'm desperately trying to hold it together for my 4 year old but I don't know how much longer I can keep going.

OP - go and hug your mum.

Unfortunately it's impossible, I live on an island and she's in England and the borders are closed. Otherwise I'd be there in a flash

Awww I’m sorry, I thought it was just due to Covid, I was like stuff the rules just go see her.

Didn’t realise you were so far apart. Oh bless you, I honestly feel for you.

I think everything will be okay, you could have ovulated later than you think or some other reasonable explanation.

I should have put that in my OP, not really thinking straight.

I hope so. I was thinking it's just about possible I could be 7 weeks if I ovulated very late for some reason and their measurements were slightly out, but I just feel that's too good to be true. It's going to be a very long week and I've already cried so much.

At my 1st scan I was measuring 2 weeks behide when I was sure if my dates. I had a 2 more scans which finally showed a heartbeat. I was so sure I was miscarrying but I'm now 17 weeks. I know its hard but try not to worry. I moved forward a week at my 12 week scan so only ended up a week behide what I thought I should be. Hope you get some good news at your next scan.

How did you get on? X

Unfortunately I miscarried last week, so not a happy ending this time.
