Hi how is everyone ? Thought I'd hop on n as a question .. so today was meant to be my 6w they dated me 5w3 days a week behind. Consultant Said they not sure if they goin to develop or not yet as they can only see a sack and too early to see a heart beat so will scan in a week again I'm guessing to see any growth or heartbeat. My periods have very irregular & I suffer from APS too. I'm on progesterone and aspirin already and they gave
me heparin tho today anyway. I'm not sure whether to be sad or scream or just cry.
I may book a private scan before next wed but thinking is there much point.

If you're periods are very irregular could you have ovulated later than you thought? Implantation might have also taken longer. Measuring 4 days behind what you expected doesn't seem so bad, and I know it's super common for scans below 6 weeks to not detect much in the sack, and definitely unlikely to see a heartbeat. There are loads of posts about this on these threads. I certainly wouldn't write it off just yet. Wish you all the very best. The early days of the first trimester are the absolute worst and filled with so much anxiety and uncertainty. Try to keep calm until you know for sure that you have a reason not to (which hopefully won't happen) 💕

P.S. I would avoid a private scan until at least 7/8wks as it would likely just lead to more confusion and worry at this stage being too early to see much. X

I knew exactly when I had ovulated and was still dated back by a week to 5 weeks even though I thought I was 6. Must have implanted a bit later. They even said to me the pregnancy "might be struggling to get established" which freaked me out completely. I'm now 30 weeks along. Early scans seem to be quite unreliable. I know it's hard but I'd wait until you're 8-9 weeks, for your own sanity. By then you will actually be able to see a little baby on the screen. Hope it all goes well for you!

I'm under the miscarriage clinic and
Monitored a lot so have been asked to go back in a weeks time to be rescanned.
So I'm guessing they are looking for growth of
Some sort
Maybe. I'm Trying to be positive,
Trying not to write it off yet. Thanks so much for ur replies means a lot xx

I had dd via ivf so knew they exact date of conception and even then my early scans always dated her 6 days behind what she was meant to be
I did panic and think it meant the worst but of course she's 15 months old now so everything worked out fine (she eventually caught up to her size meant to be and even started measuring ahead toward the end too)

At this stage it's tiny millimetres they are dealing with to date, any slight bit off can change dates by days so this early on it can really all vary

Sending you lots of positivity ❤️

I just had the exact same happen to me, went at what would be 6 weeks and could only see a sac and yolk but went back a week later at what would be 7 weeks and measured only 6 weeks but with a heartbeat and all looking fine. Fingers crossed it’s the same for you!!
