Pray for me tomorrow I find out if I'm having a miscarriage or not

I'm 7 weeks pregnant. Last week I had an emergency scan due to bleeding. They said that there is a baby measuring 6 weeks but no heartbeat. That's all I was told before they sent me to a quiet room where I had to wait like 3 hours for a doctor. The doctor came and I asked if there is any hope, she said not really but nothing can be said yet. It could be that it's too early for heartbeat but it isn't looking good because the gestational sac looks irregular in shape too. Then she said "there are two gestational sacs" I was so upset at that time that I didn't even think to ask more and I just automatically thought omg I'm pregnant with twins! But now I'm thinking back to it they only told me there was 1 fetus so it can't possibly be twins right? Otherwise there would be two babies? I'm so confused and quite frankly losing my mind. The uncertainty is KILLING me. I've also begun to have all of the pregnancy symptoms😭sickness, vivid dreams, tender breasts.

Anyway I have my scan tomorrow which will hopefully tell us more but I'm panicking so much that I don't even think I'll make it to tomorrow LOL I'm so nervous.

Has this happened to anyone else?

@Queenxxx I’m so sorry that this is happening to you. The uncertainly and being in limbo is one of the worst feelings in the world. It happened to me back in April and it was one of the worst weeks of my life. I’m sending you all the love, and here for support 💜

For me, I went in at 6+3 weeks and was told I was dating 5 weeks. I had a big discrepancy in my dates and my sac was irregularly shaped, so they told me it was very likely an unviable pregnancy but that I needed to come back in a week to confirm. That week was torture. When I went back they told me nothing more had grown which confirmed it was a missed miscarriage, and I opted to have a D&C the same day to remove it.

How far along do you think you should be? It’s not uncommon not to see a heartbeat at 6 weeks. It’s around this time a HB would start to form but it’s not bang on 6 weeks depending on development times. So it could be that you’re not quite far along enough yet.

On the two sacs - that is confusing that they mentioned that but didn’t explain. As far as I know 2 sacs usually means twins but I’m not 100% sure on that. At 6 weeks the foetal pole is so small that it’s only about 2-3mm. I wonder if it’s possible that based on development times you might see a foetal pole in one sac but not the other, which might be why the doctor only mentioned one foetus.

I’d go into tomorrow hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Hopefully that way you can protect yourself a little. It’s such a tough thing to go through and I really can relate so much. Here if you need anything 💜

Just wondering how you’re getting on @Queenxxx? 💜
