6w2d no heartbeat detected

[LJH19]

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody could help me, I went to my scan today (currently under the EPU) expecting baby to measure at 7weeks,
during my scan found out baby was measuring at 6w2d and no sign of a heartbeat, sonographer explained that it is probably a loss, however have to go back on Monday go get it confirmed and go through the options of what to do next,
I haven’t experienced any bleeding or any unusual cramps.
Has anybody else been through this? & what was the outcome of yours.
Thank You.

I'm so sorry, it's so tough being in that room ❤️ I had this over the summer and it wasn't good news for me (I wish I had a good outcome!). I was supposed to be about 8 weeks so they didn't offer me a second scan, though. I hope dates are off and they find a little heartbeat for you. 🍀

I had some spotting which was why I went in for the scan in the first place, and think I had just on/off light (barely there) spotting until I opted for medical management. It only really kicked off for me after I'd started to take the tablets. I basically physically felt totally normal until the tablets.

I joined a Mumsnet thread about managing miscarriage and was the last person to post on the thread - a lot of us shared a detailed account of what happened to help other people prepare. It may be TMI but it's here if that is helpful for you: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/miscarriage/1344311-Tips-for-coping-with-the-practicalities-of-miscarriage

Hope everything works out for you, OP! 🤞🏼

We had this with our first, they said either too early or was probably not viable (we had IVF so knew the dates). Went back the following week and all was good, she’s now 3. Fingers crossed this is the same outcome, good luck and hope the time passes quickly! Xx

Hi, yes I’ve had the same thing. Sadly just before I went back I started bleeding heavily. It was a miscarriage. I think there is still a chance but I would prepare yourself

Thank you for your reply!
I am so sorry for your loss. It’s a horrible situation to be in, and it’s the not knowing because of having no symptoms which gets to you.

I’m so glad everything worked out for you! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Xxx

I am so sorry for your loss,
I’m preparing myself for the worst that way I won’t be disappointed, thank you for your reply. Xx

@LJH19 I really hope it's good news for you! It ain't over til it's over, so keeping everything crossed for you.

Thank you ❤️ Feel very lucky to be pregnant again, nearly 20 weeks now. The world works in mysterious ways! Take care of yourself.

Thank you! That’s very kind of you!
Congratulations on your pregnancy, wishing you a safe pregnancy & delivery. 🤍

We were told the same, and to book in for a d and c the next day. My mum was with me at the time, she said can we come back in 2 weeks for a rescan. Dr said you can but nothing will change the baby isn't viable.
The non viable baby is now 6ft and 16 years old.

I went through this in the summer. I had a private scan on the Sunday and my 8 week pregnancy was measuring 6w4d with no heartbeat. Went to the EPU the next day where they confirmed. I was given the same - come back in a week and if no change we can discuss options (whether I need medical management or a D&C). I actually started bleeding on the Friday and lost the baby on the Sunday (exactly a week after the first scan). It’s like once my mind knew my body eventually let go.

im so sorry that you’re going through this. It’s just the absolute worst. Be kind to yourself xx

Oh i’m so happy everything worked out for you! X

Thank you for sharing your story with me, I know how painful it can be to talk about this,
i’m so sorry you went through it. Xx

I had this, but can't remember exact dates as was over 8 years ago, but had an early scan due to cramping and they could only see a fetal pole when I was around 7ish weeks. No heartbeat. They said I had to wait 2 weeks to be seen again. Ended up going for a private scan a week after as I couldn't wait any longer to know if things had changed for better or worse, and there was a perfect little baby, who is now nearly 8 years old. Don't want to give you false hope, but just try to remember that the heartbeat may not be seen one day but will be there the next at this early stage. And if it is a loss, as upsetting as it is, the pregnancy just may have not been viable for a number of reasons, and if you try again, next time chances are everything will be fine, so don't give up hope.

Thank you. If yours does end the same way i will actually suggest talking about it. Everyone is different but talking about it actually helped and helps me more than keeping quiet about it!
