Hi! I've had a bit of a journey with this pregnancy - I had a chemical pregnancy on my previous cycle and starting bleeding with that on the 24th of August, which to all intents and purposes was my last period. I don't know when I ovulated but I got a positive pregnancy test on the 26th of September, so I suppose I could have conceived as late as the 16th or 17th.
I went for a scan at what should have been exactly 8 weeks, and they saw a foetal pole measuring 5mm, no heartbeat - they said it was 5w6d, so about two weeks behind what it should have been.
I got referred for another scan a week later, should have been 9 weeks but measured 7mm - which they said was 6w3d. However, there was a strong heartbeat and the sonographer commented that I had a very tilted uterus and she was struggling to get the measurements because of it.
I was gobsmacked that we saw a heartbeat, I really thought it was game over. The sonographer said all looked really good but realistically I am concerned that given how far behind the baby is measuring - and its growth hasn't been what it should be between the two scans - this pregnancy isn't viable. I'd love to be wrong.
I know other people have been in this position and I'd love to hear your experiences, good or bad. I'm finding all this waiting utterly excruciating.
