So I wrote on here not so long ago having gone to the EPAU following a private scan and them telling me I was having twins. The private place was an abdominal scan and the week after at the EPAU I had a TV scan which confirmed there weren’t twins but just a gestational sac with a yolk sac and a
bleed next to it which may have been mistaken for another sac. No fetal pole or heartbeat. At this point going off my LMP I’d have been 8+2 so not very reassuring. I must say my dates could be slightly out as since coming off the pill at Easter my periods weren’t yet regular but I’m also not oblivious to the fact that it was looking like a blighted ovum. I was rebooked in for 10 days later which was today. I was expecting to be scanned there have been no change or the sac to be of a size to call it a blighted ovum and to finally have an answer and move forward but that was not to be as today they could see a fetal pole measuring around 5.5 weeks still no heartbeat but apparently wasn’t there last time so can’t be dismissed. Has anybody else been through this torturous limbo. I’m resigned to the fact that this is 99% a negative outcome and missed miscarriage but where has this fetal pole spring from? Would you say it was just missed last time? The wait is horrible…I just needed to offload 😩

I'm sorry I have no expertise or insight, I just wanted to say I'm sorry -yes it's excruciating. Try to keep yourself busy with nice things and take good physical care of yourself.

Thank-you I appreciate your kind words. I’m blessed with three young children so thankfully keeping busy isn’t a struggle, but mentally it really feels a drag. 😩
