Getting pregnant while BF. 6 weeks scan no heartbeat

[Paperplane21]

Hi all,

I’m just looking for experience really as I cannot find anyone in the same shoes and I’ve got no one to talk to.
I’ve had a missed miscarriage 2 years ago exactly, I was told at 10 weeks that there is no heartbeat. Last March I gave birth to a beautiful boy with a lovely boring pregnancy. Fast forward to 3 weeks ago when I found out I was pregnant again! I’m breastfeeding and only had 3 cycles before getting pregnant, 30-40-30 days, I found out I was pregnant on 18 February. I went for a scan yesterday (I should be spot on 6 weeks with a 28 day cycle) and they found a sac and yolk but no heartbeat. They also found fluid (potentially blood?). It was like history repeating itself dead on at 2 years when I was told there’s no heartbeat. I’m due for a rescan in 10 days and I just have all the emotions. I don’t know if should keep the faith or brace myself to let go of this baby too. It’s breaking my heart and because we live 8000 miles away from any family (they don’t really understand the pain anyway) I’m completely on my own with all these emotions!

I’m just looking for some reassurance really. If you’ve been in the same shoes it’d be really kind if you could share tou experience.

thank you!!

So sorry you didn’t get a response, I’m in a similar position now pregnant and breastfeeding but my scan is on Sunday, how did you get on at your re-scan?

This is the most recent thread I’ve found but I went for an early scan earlier this week thinking I was 7 weeks but they said I was 6 weeks. There was a fetal pole measuring 5mm but no heartbeat. I’m going for a re scan next week. I was just wondering if anyone had had the same experience and a positive outcome? This is my first pregnancy and I’m really worried/anxious!

I went for a scan when should have been 6w3d going off a 28 day cycle. I have pcos but fairly regular periods of 32-34 days, even while breastfeeding once they eventually came back. My HCG was 21000 but only an irregular shaped gestational sac measuring 5w3d could be seen on internal scan (no yolk or fetal pole). I was told odds were not good. And I knew the dates we dtd meant I shouldn't be a full week behind. HCG retest rose a little less than 50pc. 8 days later all was fine and everything was there on the scan. The 8 days of waiting were agonising. I hope you are doing okay

I’m glad everything went ok with you! I’ve had on and off spotting yesterday and today, although I know this can be normal it still is worrying. Always thinking the worst! Your right, it’s the waiting around not knowing that is torture
