whats going on 6wk+ and no fetal pole???

[milliemoocow]

im so confused... feel like im on a rollarcoaster... can anyone give me some hope? on tuesday i was at work and felt a gush so went to toilets and i was soaked in bright red blood, went to hospital a doctor did a scan and said he couldnt see anything apart from bleeding ad clotting in the womb, he also said i have a tilted uturus and thiroid :-/ and thought id misscarried... i was sooooo upset... they kept me in over night and next morning did scan again with the consultant present she said she could see sac that didnt seem quite right but no yolk sac or fetal pole... and lots of bleeding in and around it... she thought id lost the baby, later a nurse came and asked why i was laid on bed crying when it wasnt all bad news?! i said because i had been told my pregnancy wasnt viable!!! nurse said thats not was she was told and that i only had threatened miscarrage!!! feeling better after hearing this i went home (after spending 1 night in hospital) but had open access to ward, within a hour of returning home i started crampng and bleeding again (no clots) rang ward and a very rude nurse said i wasnt to come back up they were full already and to wait till next day, went up to hospital next day for hcg bloods... went home and later rang in for results and in about a day and a half they had gone up from 6000 to 10500 which doc on that day thought was good increase, so went back today saw yet another nurse on different ward who did scan she said pregnancy didnt look normal to her as she couldnt see anything but a sac and my hcg level had appartly not gone up as much as they'd have liked despite doc yest saying they had? I felt uttely confused so asked to see a doc who could explain what was going on... doc arrives over 2 hours later and tells me its not good news ect ect but asked to rescan just to make sure nothing been missed...she found a yolk sac!!! so guess nurse missed it as it surely cant just appear in 2 hours? doc also measured the sac and it measured 6 weeks (which is correct for my dates i have long cycles so dates not perfect but got to be at least 6 week) but couldnt see a fetal pole which was a concern to her :-/ so she said not to get my hopes up and come back in 1 week.... im sooooooooo confused!!! has anyone been in this situation and had a baby at end of it??? pls pls pls help with advice im goin out my mind with worry :-(

millie you poor thing it sounds like you've gone through a lot.

I don't have much knowledge or advice but have just looked up fetal pole on Wiki here and that suggests it is usually seen around 6-8 weeks, and that it is quite normal not to see it until 8 weeks. Hope that is some comfort.

Best wishes for the next few days and weeks, take care x

thanks spilt :-) i hope that my pregnancy just late developing and i get a lil baby at the end of it i soooooooooo want this baby... x

I was scanned at just over five weeks and they could only see the sac,so weren't sure if it was viable or not,a week later there was a heartbeat and she is a tantrumming toddler now.I had only had slight bleeding though.Sounds terrible care ,you should have one clear opinion not all the mixed messages,it must be so stressful for you.
what was the thyroid issue? If your levels are low that can cause problems with pregnancy and they should be addressing that now.
really hope it is good news for you from now on and that you get to talk to someone who will be clear with you.

oh milliemoocow I do hope it works out for you and hope to see you back on the feb antinatal thread soon Can't offer any advice as not sure, but sounds like you've been on such an emotional rollercoaster and can't imagine how worried you must be..

thanks everyone :-) im keeping my fingers crossed, and will report back the nes either good o bad on friday.

as regards to the thiroid thing, im not sure it was just thrown in with the many other bad factors of this pregnancy... 1 doc convinced all the bleeding in the womb is because i was carrying 2 but now only 1... but im not so sure, just wish they would all stop giving me different answers!!! what they sould have said is cant see much at min but come back in week and we will have another look instead of them all second guessing... im seriously worried out my mind!!!

I was in your situation. I had not had a period for 9 weeks BFP, went for scan told not pregnant nothing there. Tests still gave BFP. Went back week later with bleeding but still BFP, consultant suspected ectopic.Had another scan = 6 weeks but no fetal pole. Blood test and told to wait. Fetal pole showed up at 8 weeks.Had baby boy.

Don't give up hope. I know it is so hard waiting to see but there are many women in this situation that go on to have a baby. Your rising hormone levels are a good sign.
Hope it works out for you.

Oh millie what a really rough, stressful time you are having, I'm so sorry to hear . I have my fingers crossed that we see you back on the feb thread soon. Sending a huge hug your way. Try and keep that chin up.

I had my 1st scan this time when I should have been 6+1, but only an empty sac was seen, no fetal pole, and sac was only measuring at 'under 4 wks'. I went back 3 weeks later (first scan date available) and there was a jellybean with a hb, although measuring 2 days behind when I KNOW I had to have conceived, I was measuring as 8+6 when it should have been 9+1. Today I had my 12 week scan, and baby is measuring completely perfect for dates, by my last scan I would have been 11+6 today, by my dates 12+1. My baby was measuring as 12+1, so totally caught up. At my first scan I was told it wasn't a viable pregnancy as I was measuring 2 WEEKS behind my dates, but now all is perfect, so don't give up hope yet!

Thankyou so much for all your support and kind words, u hav all put my mind at ease I will be keeping my fingers crossed n hoping 4 lil hb on nxt scan :-) I will post on here on fri t let u all no the news, I hope t b bak on feb thread very soon... X

Well Good news is hb and fetal pole seen!! Bad news is still large area of bleeding around it so still threatened miscarrage :-/ x

Great news milliemoocow so happy for you. If it makes you feel a bit better I had threatened miscarriages a few times in first trimester and now 20w...best of luck to you x

Well that is good news Millie,I hope all is ok!
