Baby 5+2 but yolk sack 6+2. Miscarriage?

I went for a scan and i was expecting to be aound 6+2. The sonographer started the scan by saying the measurment was 6+2 then said 5+2. I asked which one and she said the yolk sack measured 6+2 and embryo was 5+2.

I said so its a miscarriage? She booked a scan in 10 days and avoided answering questions about dating. She said 'we only go off the scan dates'. I was out the room within a minute.

Ive thought about it and if the yolk sack is 6+2 then that is the gestational date. So the embryo stopped growing a week ago?

I've googled this but cant find anything similar. Lots of comments on baby measuring early but not about a later date on yolk sack

When this happened to me it was a miscarriage. I drove myself a bit nuts for the 10 days waiting googling everything under the sun.

I was a bit further along (7 weeks) so maybe that’s worse because you really should see a HB in a viable pregnancy by then. But I had the same sac measures the right gestation and embryo is too small.

I really hope it’s better news for you!
