Measuring Behind at 7w Private Scan

[tabbycatslave]

I had an internal scan done at what I thought was 7w1d (fairly sure on dates, although was post chemical and so my cycle was slightly off. But given I tested positive at 10dpo, I think could only shift back by 2 days at most).

They found one embryo with a heartbeat, but only measuring 3.4mm. There was also a separate yolk sac with no sign of life inside, and I was told to come back to confirm viability of that in 2 weeks. Unless I am a medical miracle I am sure that has to be a vanishing twin, so my worry is about the visible baby.

I don't have bleeding or cramping and am feeling sick/pregnant, but am now obviously spiralling and reading every thread here and on Reddit that I can find. The sonographer just measured once and seemed quite uninterested when I said the dating was over a week off, which wasn't very helpful.

I know I just have to wait. I've got my booking appointment next week so hoping the midwife might be able to give me some advice then... but should I realistically be expecting to miscarry?

So how many weeks was the embryo with the heartbeat measuring? Under 6? Unfortunately all you can do is wait at this point. Definitely mention it to the midwife and see if they can get you seen at an EPU. They’ll still make you wait a week or two for a repeat scan but honestly it’s better than the private places if anything was to be wrong.

Thank you - yes, 5w4d.

Theres only a few mm between the two dates. Your cycle may be off so I think just wait.
