I’m preparing myself for the worse.
realistically there’s no way I could have been 6weeks or just under 6 weeks on the 30/1 when I test positive on a digital clear blue on the 29/12.
its just not possible is it?
my symptoms are mild, I’m just slightly nauseous when I need something to eat n boobs are little sore. But that’s it.
my friend just lost her baby last week too and I’m not coping too well with all this

I am confused?

I had a scan on the 30/1 and it says I measured 6 weeks.
but I had a positive clear blue digital test on the 29/12

Probably you just caught it on the 29th and if
you had tested on 28th would have been negative

Presuming of course you haven’t been having sex regularly?

Hi lovely,
I am so so sorry you are going through this. The wait must be unbearable. I think its sensible to prepare for bad news if you are sure on your dates.
I had a MMC in September and had terrible nausea even though baby had stopped growing 3.5 weeks before, it is so cruel.
When is your next scan? Xx

Two weeks is such a long time, some EPUs only make you wait a week.
Is it worth ringing tomorrow to say mentally you are struggling and can they fit you in any sooner? Xx

So if you tested positive on 29th December at that point the earliest you could be would be 3 weeks pregnant - assuming you tested positive at 7dpo. So on January 30th you would have been 7 weeks 4 days. You can’t be earlier than that as it’s almost impossible to test positive earlier than that. And by 7.4 you really should see a heartbeat. So by those dates I have to say I would agree if it was me I would prepare for the worst. However, online you do see plenty of stories where they’ve been wrong in scans. I wouldn’t take lack of symptoms as meaning anything either though. Plenty of women have zero symptoms with healthy pregnancies and lots of symptoms despite their babies stopping growing.

I’m not sure what MSD stands for in your report but whatever it is it seems like that was only measuring 5.3 weeks.

Niftymum88 · 08/02/2026 15:25

This was a scan I had on the 25/1
it was a private one which prompted me to go epu.
so there was growth but I still don’t know
