Hi,

I am currently about 7 weeks 4 days today.

At 5 weeks pregnant I had some bleeding and cramping and the EPU got me in the next day due to my medical history as well (prev tumour, adenamyosis etc).

The consultant said that I maybe was earlier than I thought and I may be earlier than expected (I had sex once so not much movement on dates).
there was a gestational sac but nothing inside no yolk sac/fetal pole. No idea of measurements as I didn’t ask at the time. I was advised to come back in 2 weeks time (my app is tomorrow).

In the meantime my symptoms disappeared (nausea and sore boobs) so I went for a private scan because I couldn’t help myself at 7 weeks exactly. There was a gestational sac that measured 20mm, no yolk sac or fetal pole still. It was abnormal in shape and looks like blighted ovum.

the consultant said if she can’t see anything tomorrow I will need to wait a further week for another scan. I feel like this is massively a non viable pregnancy now and just want to move on and end this chapter of my life. This was not a planned pregnancy and I feel nature has taken its course.

annoyingly a faint bit of nausea has come back for the last two days, what wanted to know is, if you had a 20mm sac without anything in it was that classed as non viable was able to do something about it without a rescan?
did you have to wait till 25mm (it may have grown to that since last Friday I’m not sure).

i feel like I’m sat waiting to miscarry constantly (the woman who did my private scan said it doesn’t look viable, I rang the EPU and the nurse said it also sounded like it wasn’t but they wouldn’t see me earlier and to just come in on my made app.

I am okay with the outcome if this happens as it was a non planned pregnancy and I’m single, I told the guy I’ve been seeing and he was a little cohersibe to abort which I wasn’t going to do. But I would be relieved to get him out of my life and close this chapter. However it is a sad time and I know I’ll never forget it.

thank you

@Rubyadele No experience, but it does very much sound like this pregnancy is not viable. I'm sorry you're left in limbo for an outcome, but hopefully you will get some clear answers at your next scan.
