Hi,
I started very light spotting on Monday. Called the EPAU, they booked me in Tuesday for an internal scan.
I paid and had a private scan due to anxiety and fear I was going through a miscarriage.
At the private scan she measured my gestational sac measuring 6weeks and 4 days (which is right if following my estimated conception date), but couldn’t locate a yolk sac or fetal pole. But 3 weeks too small if following my last period. (I have PCOS and my cycle is 35 days not the typical 28)
so walked away upset and even more anxious.
went for the NHS scan at epau on Tuesday. Had internal scan, who again found my gestational sac measuring 6weeks 5days. But again couldn’t find the yolk or fetal pole.
I have to go back in 10 days (now 9) to be rescanned. But the nurse said there is only a 10% chance they will locate something other than a fluid filled sac which is measuring correctly!
is this common? Could it be a case of it’s too early to detect?
im frightened that this will result in a miscarriage. My head is spinning and doing endless amounts of research.

I bet you are and 10 days is a long time to leave you in this situation. Just wanted to offer a handhold Flowers

So sorry you’re going through this. Did they do an internal scan or an external one? That can sometimes affect how much they can see on a scan when it’s early.

I take it that they did a urine test too? Flowers

@Overthebow i had both. External and internal. The image was the same. No YS or FP. Just a sac that’s measuring 6weeks5days

I was asked to do a urine sample when having scan, but the EPAU. Nurses didn’t want it??
