Hi all!
Some advise would be great!

i had a scan last week and I was meant to be 6 weeks, I know i ovulate around day 18 sp i expected to measure behind but this time i could've ovulated later as I wasnt tracking and only just got off the pill. I measured 5 weeks, only a yolk sac could be seen (private ultrasound)

I went back tonight, fetal pole could now be seen but they couldnt detect a heartbeat (movement, but couldnt be sure)

Ive been asked to come back in 3 days,
The person who scanned me said it could go either way - either heartbeat starting or heartbeat stopping.

I had a termination for medical reasons in 2018, I bled a lot with that baby (im bleeding now) baby had a body stalk anomaly and wasnt compatible with life.
I then had a healthy baby in 2021 and didnt bleed at all with her, so now im worried.

Would it be wise to go to EPAC and have them scan me? Are their equipment better?

Thank you in advance ☺️

I don’t think going to epac is worthwhile. There is nothing you can do but wait

Are you bleeding a lot? As I understand it, the advice is that if you are bleeding heavily (a pad in an hour) or in pain, it is worth going in. It's about your safety as well as about the baby.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

Update: ended up misscarrying a few days later.
