8+2 no heartbeat seen

[Baubles2020]

So, I went to my local EPAU two weeks ago and according to my dates I was 6+2. They could see gestational sac and nothing else and told me to come back in two weeks as they thought I was more like 5 weeks

I’ve gone this morning, my dates are 8+2 from LMP. Today there was a yolk sac and a fetal pole but no heartbeat. The nurse was positive because there had been progression but wants me to be re-scanned in a week. I honestly think at 8 weeks, even if it is more like 7 weeks we should be able to see a hb and this is just delaying the inevitable.

Has anyone else been in this situation? What was the outcome? I’m already telling myself this won’t be good news in a week

Hi OP
According to my scan report at 9 and a half weeks, no heartbeat was detected. Nothing was mentioned to me and the pregnancy progressed

I've measured behind on early scans in 2 pregnancies.
Our twins at 8 wk measured 6 days behind with strong he's. Caught up on growth by their dating scan to come in-line with lmp. Delivered at 38wk and 6yr old now.
Last pregnancy went at 8+3, baby measured 7+4 with hb. Started spotting 4 days after scan and passed baby in it's sac at 9+3(lmp).
It can go either way so I would prepare yourself for bad news just in case, fingers crossed for you it's just a slow grower though. Good luck

I've sadly just come out of this situation💔

Had a scan at 5+4 and empty sac measuring 3mm
Scan at 6+4, empty sac and measuring 7mm
Scan at 7+4, sac with yolk sac, measuring 9mm

Was then told to wait 2 weeks. Went back on Friday and at 9+4 a silent miscarriage was confirmed as no growth was made and no baby.

I'm sending you so much love. Every outcome is different and I did read a lot of positive stories when I was in your very shoes and in the waiting limbo

Thank you for your replies, I’m sorry to hear about your losses, I think the waiting is the worst part 😞

I’ve been telling myself for the last two weeks it’s not going to end how we’d like it too. I don’t feel pregnant, apart from some very mild nausea every now and then and sore boobs at like 5 weeks. I feel absolutely fine, very different with how I was with my two previous pregnancies and they’re now 10 and 7. I guess I’ll just have to wait another week but I wish she’d just have ripped that plaster off today

Just an update as I know how much I wanted updates on threads. I went back to EPAU today for my scan and was told what I was expecting, it’s a MMC. They went through all my options with me and they were really lovely. I’m booked in for a D&C next Tuesday as after 3 weeks of limbo the thought of a medically managed miscarriage makes me unbelievably anxious x

So sorry to hear your sad update

So sorry to hear this @Baubles2020. I hope you are able to take some time to really heal and recover ❤️

Hi OP,

I’m so sorry to read this. I had a similar experience in 2019. I went for a private scan at 8+6 and I was told it was a missed miscarriage. I had a d&c the following week.

The procedure itself was fine, the nurses and doctors were very kind. There was no pain before or after but the emotional side took time to recover from. Try not to worry too much about the d&c, be kind to yourself

Thank you so much for the info. I feel almost like a coward for choosing to be sedated but I know emotionally it’s what I need to do. I’ve booked the rest of the week off work to just rest and be with my DC 💜

Yes, take some time and don’t be so hard on yourself

Hi, I am sorry for your news.

I had a d&c and physically it was very straightforward. Emotionally was another matter. The day after the procedure I felt weirdly normal and relieved it was all over. 2 days later I had a hormone crash.

Dear op, so sorry about your loss. Please don't feel like a coward, i didn't think twice- you must look after yourself and heal and the procedure will help you with that. It will be easier physically, don't torture yourself. Lots of love and strength to you, you're not alone xx

Sorry for reviving an old post and to everyone who has suffered losses. @Dontyouwantme Hi, how did it turn out for you if you don’t mind sharing please? They found a hb at 6w+5 after ivf measuring a day late and no hb at 8w+6 measuring 3 days behind, suspected MMC. Thanks!
