PUL - Terrified after scan

Hello,
I’m wondering if anyone can offer any hope to me after my scan this morning. Based on the date of my last period I should be 7 + 2 but in my early scan this morning they told me there was nothing there and called it a PUL. They did a blood test and I’m waiting for them to call with results but going out of my mind.
I’ve only been pregnant once before despite many rounds of IVF and years of trying but that sadly ended as a missed miscarriage and it has take us 2 years to get pregnant again.
I’m 42 now so feel like this was our last chance. I’ve had no bleeding and have had normal symptoms such as nausea and sore boobs although today I feel like symptoms are gone but am so anxious I’m losing my perspective on that.

Is there any hope that I’m earlier than I thought and embryo was just too small to show? I do have irregular periods so they said there’s a small possibility of that but they didn’t seem optimistic at all.

I know that I may just wait for results but just so devastated and so wondering if anyone has had a positive outcome after a similar scan experience?

Thanks so much,
Peggy

Hey, im sorry your going through this it's awful. My 2nd pregnancy was treated as a PUL after I was scanned at 6+3 and they couldn't see anything. I even had an internal scan. Then I had bloods to measure hcg and they came back above 42,000. I went back 10 days later to be scanned and there was a heartbeat and everything was as it should be. My dates were even right to what I thought they should be.

Obviously I don't know how this will go for you but my Dr and sonographer that were in the room with me said that they are literally looking at millimeters and if there's scar tissue, tendens or anything in the way it might not be visible.

Have they offered you a rescan in a few days or anything?

Try not to lose hope yet. I hope this works out for you x

In the same boat now:(. Supposed to be 6+2 yesterday according to last period dates (not sure if accurate as I have irregular cycle lengths ect.)
Came back as PUL and been referred for blood test Monday. The only time I've had inter course was 4 times in one week which was 2 weeks after my last period and once 2.5 weeks ago. Clear blue showing 1-2weeks. Was asked to go home by private sonography and do another test this morning and if it's positive which it was , they'll refer me. I've no symptoms of anything gone wrong and line colour has got darker over the days. Still cannot help but be anxious and feel like I'm just waiting for something to go wrong now :(
