Early scan today, I am meant to be 7weeks going off LMP but measuring just over 5, also twins?!

Hi ladies!

My head is completely scrambled and hopefully
looking for some postive stories.
Ive had 5 recurrent miscarriages and pregnant again for the 6th time. I’m on Cyclogest and low dose asprin.
I had an early scan booked for today due to my history, I have posted another thread but I also have had some bleeding the past 2 days.
I went in fearing the worst. After what felt like forever they told me they could see 2 sacs, but one measured 5w1d and another 5w2d.
I am in shock!! But also worried how behind they seem to be measuring?😞 can this be normal this early? I have had one pregnancy measuring 1 week behind and I miscarried so I am fearing the worst but would be a miracle if we could bring these babies home ❤️
Thank you x

When did you get a positive pregnancy test?

@DownWhichOfLate
so I had my first positive on the 30th of July. It’s was there but also quite faint, fainter than I’d had in previous pregnancies at what I thought was 10dpo. It was on an easy at home test which has a threshold of 10hcg and and early clear blue digital.
Its making me wonder if I did ovulate late and ovulated 2 eggs could I have gotten that faint positive due to there being 2 and so hcg was higher? But not being as far along as I thought if that makes sense?
Im not sure if I’m just clutching at straws as my head says measuring 2 weeks behind is just too much.
The ultrasonographer did have a little bit of trouble as my uterus is tilted so again unsure if that has any baring, again I think I’m just looking for any hope x

30th July was four weeks ago. So if you’re measuring 5 weeks that would mean having had a positive test before you had ovulated, if you see what I mean? It could be the measurements are incorrect, but you should be at least 7 weeks then there should be a heartbeat. I’m sorry, but it doesn’t look too hopeful unfortunately 😢

I do agree that it doesn’t sound good unfortunately. With a positive test on 30th July you must be at least 7 weeks now. Even with late ovulation you’d be 7 weeks. The absolute earliest people tend to get a positive test is 7dpo. So even if you were 7dpo on 30th July you’d be 7 weeks now. Obviously some people will have positive stories that are similar, but in my opinion I’d be prepared for the worst unfortunately.

@DownWhichOfLate
Thank you for your reply ❤️
I can totally see what your saying and I do feel that measuring 2 weeks behind is just too much and doesn’t really add up 😓 x

@ShowMighty

Thanks so much for your honest reply ❤️

Do you have another scan booked? Or could you request blood tests? It’s horrible not knowing what is going on x

@DownWhichOfLate so they booked me in for another scan in a weeks time which is going to feel like torture. I did actually think about blood tests before but I forgot to ask. My head says to prepare for the worst😞x

Wishing you all the best.
Really hope its just a case of them sharing the nutriants meaning theyre measuring a little smaller! fingers crossed for you x

I had a twin pregnancy and this happened with mine, they measured small the entire pregnancy and were delivered early by c section. Won't lie it was bloody stressful but I now have 2x 6 year olds, perfectly healthy. It's just too early to say how it's going to go but don't give up hope yet hon. Good luck xx

Thank you so so much for your well wishes ❤️ x

Oh wow! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and massive congratulations on your twins!
I really hope this is the same for me, it’s so stressful isn’t it

thanks so much again, you’ve given me some hope ❤️xx

Hi @Steffi12, I hope it's ok to ask how things fared for you in this pregnancy? In a similar predicament. Hope all is ok xx

I saw a post by the op recently and hope she won't mind me linking to it.

Hey, of course I don’t mind you asking but I’m sorry to say this didn’t have a happy ending for me and I lost them😓 the follow up scans found no growth. I’m so sorry your going through similar and I’ve got everything crossed all is okay for you xx

I don’t mind you sharing at all, thanks for your kind words xx
