6w no heartbeat

[YYY-85]

I went for a reassurance scan today and was told I was 6w 4 (thought I was 8w) and measuring 6.5mm but no heartbeat detected. I have to go back next week to be rescanned but I'm really starting to worry now that it might be a Mac. Anyone had any similar experiences?

@YYY-85 Im so sorry to hear this. I’ve been in limbo for weeks now with similar. I discovered I was pregnant very early on. I was a little impatient & paid for private scan before I should have at 5 weeks just before Xmas . There was just a small empty sac, they couldn’t confirm pregnancy. I returned at 7 weeks as they kindly gave follow up appointment. This confirmed pregnancy in correct place but showed yolk sac, & fetal pole CRL 3.6 mm but no heartbeat - measurement also puts me 1.5-2weeks behind where I should be . They said they would expect heartbeat & more growth . They said blood flow round uterus was poor from Doppler & almost certain to be a miscarriage and not viable. They referred me straight away to Early pregnancy unit. The following day they scanned me. Said I need to return in 10 days for 2nd scan, more as a formality to confirm missed miscarriage (they said it’s almost certain).

This will be my 4th scan, & all of this has been over Xmas & New Year. It was unplanned but in no way unwanted so I’ve been keeping this to myself except for one close friend as it’s almost certainly missed miscarriage but waiting to confirm. I am very strong, but honestly, this has been tough, emotionally. The limbo & not knowing or having control or being able to have conversations I would otherwise have if certain .. it’s been the hardest.

I have my scan in a couple of days. The limbo part is very tough, just want you to know that, it will likely feel very slow the time passing now - and an emotional rollercoaster. You just have to ride through it - women to women you’re not alone 💐and I wish you the very best outcome x

@Sunshinemoon2020 sorry you are going through this as well. it's just so unfair

@YYY-85 thank you . I started bleeding today at work. I have my scan Friday. I’ve cramping and all signs. To be honest I’ve cried so much on this rollercoaster I almost feel a sense of relief as it’s very obvious the outcome now. Weeks of not telling anyone , not knowing & for me false hope has been tough. It wasn’t meant to be right now 😢 Don’t lose hope yet though, there’s many who have happy outcomes and are jus behind dates or little bean takes a little longer to grow, but does catch up . I hope that with all my heart for you x
