Any success stories of wrong dates?

[RLP2310]

Hi all,

Sorry in advance for the really long post!

I’m wondering if anyone has had any similar experience previously (ideally positive)..

I am currently under Tommys after 3 recurrent miscarriages and am currently pregnant again.
I am taking a low dose of aspirin, progesterone pessaries & blood thinning injections. Basically everything Tommy’s can possibly offer on little answers from tests so far.
I already have a beautiful 4 year old boy unfortunately I lost a twin with him very early in the pregnancy.
I have followed my cycle for months and had my last proper LMP on 22nd Jan. Using CB digital ovulation tests I tracked my ovulation peak on 11th Feb. I did have some spotting around the time of my Feb period being due but nothing concrete.

I had a really faint positive pregnancy test on 28th Feb and tested daily after this - they gradually became darker by 3rd March I was happy with the line. I took a final test around 8th March (paranoid) which was a definite dye stealer so left it there.

Today I woke up to a slight bit of spotting however I was due to be scanned today by Tommys as a routine scan so told them when I arrived - she didn’t seem too concerned as I should be on my period at this point so could be that plus she said sometimes the progesterone can aggravate the cervix. According to my dates I should be around 7+5 weeks however she had to go internal and the measurements were more like 5 weeks (3-4mm) however there WAS a heartbeat.
She has told me it is 50-50 as could be a threatened miscarriage or could just be really early?
I am obviously clinging on to the fact there was a heartbeat seen and just wondered if anyone else has ever had this where they have measured behind even when they had been logging ovulation?

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Hi yes I actually had something similar to this, I found out I was pregnant on January the 20th.. on the 28th of January I had an early scan and was expecting to be 6 weeks, the scan showed 5 weeks no feral pole and no heartbeat yet. I was sent away and told to come back in 10 days for a rescan. During those 10 days I had what started as spotting and turned into full on bright red bleeding, obviously devastated I believed I had lost the baby. Long story short I’m now 13 + 6 and my baby is totally healthy and I’m now back to my original dates meaning at that first scan I was actually 6 weeks or possibly 5w +6. ThT was a long story I’m sorry but I hope it helps in some way and I’m wishing you the very best for a healthy pregnancy

Did you continue tracking after ovulation? Its possible your body failed ovulation the first time when you had your peak and tried again later x

@CSR721 no I didn’t as soon as I got the static smiley I stopped so that is good to consider!!! Really trying to be positive! Xx

@Mamadooley thanks so much for this it’s good to hear some positives! I’m just going to have to sit tight & rest keeping everything crossed!!!! Xxx

@RLP2310 keeping everything crossed for you x x

I went for a scan sure of my dates that I was 6 weeks but was told I was only 4 weeks. I was told it was likely that the baby had never grown passed the 4 weeks & I would miscarry. That baby is 11 months old now asleep in her cot. Sometimes we just Ovulate later than we think. Good luck.

I had some heavy spotting/blood at 7 weeks and had an internal scan. They found a heartbeat but said baby measured 5 weeks, but did say measurements are v difficult at that point. Pregnancy progressed fine, I was actually more like 6 weeks at that point. I'm 38weeks now. Fingers crossed for you. You've still got a good chance, but I know it's scary, especially after loss(es).

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to post xxx
I’m am staying hopeful that this baby is going to stick!!!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

In a very similar situation here, 2 weeks behind on what I thought I was, due for a rescan in a week due to heartbeat looking a little irregular.

what was the outcome of your story?
