I told myself I was going to be completely sanguine until 12 weeks...fat chance!

I was sent for a scan yesterday at 6+6, because of some bleeding (which has since stopped). They found a gestational sac and a yolk sac but couldn't see an embryo (or any signs of bleeding). Didn't concern them because the measurements looked closer to 5 weeks (7mm gestational sac and 2mm yolk). So they said I must have just ovulated later than I thought.

Which would be fine....except I know when I last had sex pre positive test (10th Jan). Even if I did ovulate late, surely the latest conception could have happened is around the 15th, which should still make me 6+1 at the scan, at the very latest. And even that I don't think is likely because I was ovulation testing, and pretty sure it happened around the 10th.

I know, I know, I just need to try and relax, and there's nothing I can do for now and so on.....but I suppose I'm just after any reassuring stories, perhaps of measurements that looked small for the time and then caught up....I don't know. Or maybe the opposite, and stories that I should brace myself for.

I have my booking appointment on Tuesday so I guess I will mention it then and see what they say. Sorry for making this sound like a big deal when I realise others are going through far more traumatic experiences.
