Dear Mumsnet,
In desperate need of some venting and input.
I recently discovered I was pregnant, and though not planned it’s very much wanted.
Due to some (possibly unrelated) issues I went for an early scan today, thinking I am
around 5+0-5+1 or thereabouts. Very early to see anything which I was well aware of.
There was a clearly visible gestational sac but nothing in it. The doctor said he couldn’t say whether it was normal or abnormal, which is fair.
HOWEVER. He then proceeded to measure the sac which came up to 7mm. He said that that corresponds to week 6+4, and therefore it looked like a pending miscarriage. Very upsetting to say the least. I’ve had three miscarriages in the past, and two healthy children.
It didn’t occur to me until after I got
home that the measurement “6+4” is according to CRL - alas correct if the embryo was measured. I clearly saw “CRL” on the screen at the scan but didn’t think anything of it at the time.
So, long story short… If the sac measured 7mm, shouldn’t that be normal for about 5+ weeks? And that there is hope left? That the doctor obviously gave me incorrect information (due to comparing the sac measurement to that of an embryo)?
Thank you so much in advance!
