It’s going to be another miscarriage isn’t it? Dated two weeks behind

[Pleasenotagainn]

I miscarried in March, well into my second trimester but the baby had passed shortly after my 12 week scan.

I’m pregnant again, I was 7+2 by my dates but I saw the EPU today which have dated me as 5+3. The thing is I’ve only had sex once between my miscarriage and this pregnancy and that was on the 16th May. I had a period between 6th-10th May. There was a heartbeat flickering away but for the baby to measure so far behind.. I’m going to lose this one too, aren’t I? The EPU kept saying that I might just of got my dates wrong. I literally had sex once, I can’t be wrong.

I don’t want to go through this again

im sorry ❤️ That does sound worrying. Have the EPU said when you can go back for a follow up scan? Sending a hug x

I had similar and baby ended up being fine. I'll keep everything crossed for you.

I can’t see how it can be ok.

They didn’t - they said to book in with the midwives and get a date for a 12 week scan. I’ve text my midwife from last time explaining, hopefully they will offer to scan again. I’m just gutted.

Really? As much as two weeks? Was baby just small or were your dates just wrong? This is the issue as there’s no room for dates to be wrong with only having sex the once. I’m glad you had good news.

I hope everything turns out okay for you. I am pregnant currently and given how baby is measuring, I think I must've ovulated around CD29 so it's not completely unheard of for baby to be measuring way behind where you'd expect

I tried to convince myself I could ovulated later but with the sex only happening the once the semen wouldn’t of been there to get pregnant two weeks later

I was similar to you - I knew my dates couldn't be wrong.

Ridiculously at the 12 week scan they bumped him up to being 2 weeks further ahead - again I knew this wasn't possible. 🤷‍♀️

I had this myself, going by my LMP I would have been around 9 weeks, went for an early scan that put me just under 7 weeks.
I was nervous but we saw the heartbeat and I was told that was a good sign, they said you can ovulate late and it can take a few days for the sperm to reach the egg or to implant so sometimes dates can be a bit off.
Im now 15 weeks and have had 2 more scans and everything seems absolutely fine, we're in the average range for everything.
Fingers crossed it's the same for you and everything goes perfectly with the corrected dates!

I had similar, I think they measured me around ten days behind where I knew is was. There seems to be quite a margin for error at the early stages. A heartbeat is a positive.

I really hope so. I don’t think I have it in me to go through it again! I can’t believe I even fell pregnant after one time I just want it to work out so badly.

I’m feeling like my sickness is fading now and I have lower back ache and I’m convincing myself it’s the end.

It couldn’t happen that quick after seeing a heartbeat earlier right? Looking at the scan now baby measured 3.2mm

In my first pregnancy I took baby aspirin throughout and have a healthy child. In my second pregnancy I was told not to and baby measured behind then died in my second trimester. I’m now measuring behind again in this one - I’m wondering if I can put myself back on aspirin?

I really hope you have a positive outcome. Whilst I’ve not been in this position I do know that sperm can live for up to 5 days, so sex on the 16th May with potential conception on 20th/21st would put the pregnancy around the 5 week mark. The baby would also be so tiny at this stage that it’s really hard to get accurate measurements. Wishing you all the best ❤️
