IVF (FET) - shared stories of measuring behind in your early scans

Hi guys - as the title says, it would be great to share some stories where you were measuring behind in your early pregnancy scans with your IVF bubbas ✨

For context, I had a FET on the 30th of September and got my first faint-ish positive 9dpt which got darker as the days went on. Unfortunately at my 8 week scan, little bubs was only measuring 6 weeks and 1 day but with a heartbeat ❤️‍🩹 my clinic asked me to come back 7 days later which is this Thursday, but to protect my heart because it doesn't look good. I'm also on estrogen and progesterone, so I wouldn't technically know if/when I miscarry as the hormone meds would prevent any bleed from happening. Hence the weekly scans to check to heartbeat.

If anyone has had a similar situation and feels comfortable sharing their story I'd really appreciate it 🙏🏼 I'm not expecting success stories (although they would be great!), did it take awhile to miscarry after receiving this type of news, was the initial scan dates off by a number of days, did your bubba ever 'catch up'? Thank you in advance 🩷
