Disappointing scan. Any positive stories?

I had a baby last December via ivf after 5 miscarriages and several years of ttc. 2 weeks a go we got the surprise of our lives when we fell pregnant naturally without trying. Booked in for an early scan at the epau today, what should have been 6wk3 days.
sonographer said pregnancy was much smaller than this with a gestational sac, yolk sac and fetal pole all seen although the fetal pole was only measuring at 1.6mm. Towards the end of the scan we all seen what we thought to be a heartbeat. The sonographer said it looked like a heartbeat flicker but wouldn’t confirm it in case it was just normal blood flow. She also said it was dofficult to view the pregnancy as my uterus is ex retroverted.
what would you take from this? Any positive stories? TIA

I had an early scan at 6 weeks because of a big bleed. Saw a fetal pole but no HB. Fast forward exactly a week and there it was! That apple pip size blob has just given me my 2nd grandson..
And my dear friend had 5 yrs of infertility and only 3 mths after the birth of her miracle, after DTD only once has 2 boys 15 mths apart..
I'm truly sending best wishes..

Lovely news! Was just about to comment saying your scan looks exactly the same as mine at the same gestation and DD is now 9 when I saw your update 🙂
