2 weeks behind on early scan

[KBAJCE24]

Hello!

This is my first time posting to a forum and I have no clue how it works. Hoping for some people's experiences/ perhaps there's a sonographer cutting about. Long story:

I'd been TTC baby no.2. No 1 was quite a dramatic pregnancy and came after 4 years of infertility so we thought the sooner the better.

Since my baby my cycles have been horrendous and predominantly 19-21 days. LMP was Oct 19th and I got a positive test (questionable) on the night of CD 20 and definite positive on CD 21 when my period would start.

A couple weeks later I had 9 days of bleeding and EPU wouldn't see me until 6 weeks by their calculations. There was a sac and yolk sac (same as a private scan 2 days prior). I convinced myself since I ovulate early that it would be a blighted ovum.

Fast forward to yesterday (7 weeks 1 day by medical calculations, but more 7.4 based on ovulation) I had a private scan which seen a small fetal pole and a white flicker. This was measuring 5 weeks 4days, so 2 weeks behind. 5 weeks and 4 days ago would be ovulation, so I should be measuring 7 weeks 4 days really.

I now have another weeks wait until my next scan in hosp but can't find any way that this can be positive as I'm sure of my dates and even if you look at when I tested positive then 5 weeks 4 days isn't possible.

I'm so confused and it's been turmoil being in limbo for 3 weeks already. I am ill with it!

Any similar stories here?

@KBAJCE24 how are you going? Any changes?
I had the D&c on Friday. My hormones were only up to 6000 and something (were 4000 and something a week and half prior)
It was definitely rushed abit but I’m glad it’s done and I have a bit of closure now.
This is D&C number 4 - my ob was concerned/not happy/ puzzled by what is going on.

I’m not trying to alarm you but if you need to take the tablets please be sure someone is home with you and keeping an eye on you. I’m pretty sure when I tried them last time I passed out. I woke up on the lounge a hour or two later but don’t remember going to sleep. It freaked me out. I was happy to skip them this time.

Hello! Aw bless 🥺, it is so unfair and life really is bloody cruel. I really hope they get to the bottom of what is going on with you so that you can have a stress free pregnancy with a happy ending whenever it comes around ❤️.

I've started bleeding this morning and due to be in hosp tomorrow. I've read it can take a while, but I'm hoping this is it and it comes about quickly with no complications because then I can avoid the tablets and stop the waiting. It is just so sad. I'm worried about the bleeding because my periods are so bad that I bleed through everything. Was given tablets to take on my next cycle, but that never came because I had gotten pregnant. My Husband is able to work from home after my app and on cmas eve because I was having a melt down with the fear of being alone xx

Hi guys,

Hope you're all holding up OK. I had a call from the hosp today to say the first time they could see me was Jan the 2nd for the 1st dose of tablets, then Jan 4th for hosp. I was so up to high doe because I just wanted it over. So they called back and I went in today for consent then tomorrow (Xmas day for tablet one) and then 27th for the rest. I started bleeding loads in there and by the time I got home It was well on its way. I've passed lots of wee clots, 2 golf ball size ones. One that was 3 things that looked like a baby. Yolk sac and Sac and joined together in a line and other massive things. I'm still in pain and it feels like there is more to come so I can't tell what is my baby and if it has really passed or not ahhh.

I hope you all manage to keep your chin up over cmas xx

Hi all,

update from me - saw really positive changes in my private scan and then in the one on Xmas eve there was a foetal pole and a heartbeat, still measuring behind but they reassured me that’s normal and discharged me expecting me to have a normal pregnancy. I believed them (naively) got all excited and told some family.

yesterday - had a re-scan at the private place as they offered it prior when they couldn’t see fetal pole. Expected to go and everything be fine - this wasn’t the case. There had been no growth in the foetus since the scan last week and the heartbeat was slow and irregular. my sac had grown but the sonographer could see debris/bleeding within it and was shocked I hadn’t already passed any blood. She tried to contact the EPU but they won’t see me as I’ve not got pain/bleeding so I’m now in complete limbo until something happens. I obviously know my pregnancy now is definitely not viable but I can’t believe the hospital won’t see me. It feels so unfair to drag this out 😓

It is so horrible! When you can tell yourself and they won't give you any help it's the worst. Send you lots of love just now because the limbo is just cruelty honestly. Wish you all the best 🥹🩷 xx
