Early scan anxiety

Hi everyone, I am driving myself mad reading historic threads on this subject so I decided to start my own.

I recently (last Wednesday) found out I was pregnant, after a PUL diagnosed at 7 weeks in September 2019 and blighted ovum at 6 weeks in September 2021.

I was/am extremely, extremely anxious about this pregnancy. After my most recent loss my GP asked me to contact him as soon as I get pregnant again, and he will suggest progesterone to see if it helps sustain a future pregnancy.

He referred me to EPU for a scan to make sure it is a uterine pregnancy before the progesterone is prescribed. The scan on Wednesday when by my dates I would have been 5+4, showed just a gestational sac which measured 5mm. The sonographer asked me if my dates were wrong as it looked more like a 4 week pregnancy.

I know at this early stage just a few days out can make such a huge difference, but I am having a major case of deja vu, especially at the question ‘could you have got your dates wrong?’ and I am panicking so much. She asked me to come back in a fortnight (9th Feb) to check for progress. I’ve had no pain or bleeding.

We have been trying for #2 for 5 years and I don’t know how I’ll cope if we lose this one too. I know there is just no way of knowing how this will turn out but I am going crazy with worry and I would really appreciate somebody who been through this talking me down until my next scan Sad
