by my calculations i hit 7 weeks 2 days ago. started bleeding on friday which has lasted until now (fourth day now) - proper bleeding, like a heavy period and cramps. had an early scan today - expected to see nothing having convinced myself i was miscarrying - the embryo is there and in the right place apparently, high up, no evidence of bits floating around or anything, cervix closed. however it measured as 6 weeks and no heartbeat. so wither its too ealry for a heartbeat and i had my dates wrong, or it died a week ago. the worst thing is i have to wait another week for another scan to see if it has grown. how do i get through this week?!! i'm in limbo! good luck gumb69 and let us know how you went on? they didn't do my bloods as they said any results would not be reliable enough.
