Baby measuring small, doc said 50% chance of miscarriage

Hey ladies. I've had horrible experience today.

My last period started 5th December, which would put me into 8w1d. My ovulation was 23rd probably, as my cycle is around 32 days. We DTD on 22nd, 23rd. That would mean I am supposed to be 7w4d+- today.

I had scan this morning and doc told me baby looking too small, she couldn't even find it. She was being very rude and insensitive about it, she saw something and she very reluctantly said that could be a baby but it's too small. She somehow measured that "mess" and it look like 6w1d big. She didn't even bothered measure heartbeat, but she said something looks flickering there 😢🤦‍♀️ basically she told me that looks bad and there is a 50:50% chance it will be healthy or I will miscarry. She was rude about still breastfeeding my son now. I am supposed to come next Monday for another scan. Well I am looking for another obgyn of course.

But I totally broke down and called my mom and she managed to get me quick appointment with her obgyn. She saw baby immediately there, but also said it's measuring smaller. She measured it properly 6w0d. She has very old scan so she couldn't measure or heartbeat but she said that's normal for 6w 🤷 she took blood for HCG and progesterone. HCG came back as 27 431 and should have another one on Thursday.

Is this it? Am I going to lose the baby? I feel so sick, nauseous every day since like 4 weeks 🤢😢 anyone with similar story? ❤️

I'm very sorry DP. Are there any chances you might have ovulated later this cycle so you are only 6 weeks pg?

AlmostLondoner · 01/02/2022 15:52

@Lostintranslatio unfortunately not, maybe day later than I thought but definitely not longer. We only had sex on 22nd and 23rd. I know that for sure.

You can conceive up to 5 days after you had sex and measurements can be out by a few days. Fingers crossed for you op that all is well. Xx

@Bells3032 thank you ❤️

Update for future readers: HCG didn't double so miscarriage is the most likely outcome.

@AlmostLondoner what did levels go to? Once it gets into the higher thousands its very unlikely to double within 48-72 hours but if it has a good increase then it still may be fine!
Problem is at such early stages the measurements can't be exact, did they do abdominal scan or transvaginal?

Don't give up hope until you either start bleeding or a scan tells you otherwise! Do you have another scan booked?

It's not that high thousands,it was 27k on Monday and 38 on Thursday.

They did vaginal scans, two different doctors, none of them found heartbeat.
