I realise this is a decision no one can make for me. I'm 5w3d pregnant after an MMC in late Jan/early Feb.
I am having pregnancy monitoring privately this time. They want to do a first scan at 6 weeks but I really think I want to wait until 8 weeks. Their argument is that they want to check the pregnancy is in the right place before continuing preventative progesterone. I, however, feel traumatised by scans after seeing a dead baby at a 12 week scan. I also had an early one at 6 weeks and saw a heartbeat, which reassured me at the time but now I know that means nothing.
I feel like if I have a 6 week scan and it's inconclusive it will cause more stress. On the other hand, if it's already gone wrong I would want to know sooner rather than later. Last time the baby stopped developing at 8/9 weeks but I was almost 13 weeks by the time I found out. I don't want to go through that again, but I also don't want to cause unnecessary stress with a scan that is too early.
Is 7 weeks a reasonable compromise? Or would I still be likely to see very little?
