Hi all. This is a first pregnancy for me. I recently put up a thread where I was looking for experiences of dates being wrong/ pregnancies measuring behind. I had an early private scan at what should have been 8 weeks 2 days but embryo was only measuring 6 weeks 4. There was a heartbeat though, so good sign. I’ve spent most of the last week convincing myself dates could be off, late ovulation, embryo on the smaller side, etc etc.
Had the rescan yesterday which shows not even a tenth of a mm growth - still measuring 6w4 when we should be 9w1. Heartbeat still present but visibly much slower than before. Sonographer didn’t share the heart rate but did give me a 9 second video - my basic maths from this gives a result of about 80-90 beats per min which is vv low for an embryo of over 6w3, never mind the 9 weeks where we should be.
Sonographer advised prognosis is poor and miscarriage likely.
Spoke to GP who contacted EPU. Due to there still being a heartbeat, nothing can be done and no one will see me. I have been told to wait and see for 10 days to 2 weeks and then rescan. Natural miscarriage likely in this time.
I just want this to be over. The thought of getting through Christmas with a dead/dying embryo is unbearable. Can anyone share experiences of how long it took them to miscarry naturally from finding out that was the prognosis? I have zero cramping or bleeding/spotting at the moment.
