9 weeks, but only measured 6 weeks on scan. So confused.. :( **Updated

[xsarahxxannx]

Ok, here's my story..
My husband and I tried for a couple of years to conceive our first child with no success due to my PCOS. We finally conceived last year with the help of a fertility specialist and clomid. My beautiful baby boy was born this past February!
Because of my history, we didn't think that it was necessary to go on birth control after my son was born. I have had 3 periods since the birth of my son. They were all around 30-35 day cycles. Last month... I missed my period. I took a pregnancy test when I was around 5 days late (just a cheapy dollar store preg. test) and it was negative. A week or two after that, I started feeling really tired and started going to sleep around 8pm every night. I thought that it was unusual and since I still hadn't started my period, I decided to take another pregnancy test. This test was positive right away and really dark! I booked a scan for the next week.. which was today.
According to my last period, I should be 9 weeks pregnant.
When I was scanned today, she couldn't even see the embryo. There was just the sac with the yolk sac inside and it was so tiny and barely visible. She said that it looks like I'm only about 6 weeks pregnant. ?
This just wasn't what I was expecting at all! I don't know what to think! I have another scan booked for 2 weeks out to see if the pregnancy has progressed. I really want to think that everything is ok and my dates are just off due to my crazy cycle. I can't help but think that something is wrong, though..

im sorry hun, i didnt want to read and run. ive not had experience with this, but i hope your next scan that you will be right on track! sometimes it takes time for things to catch up! good luck hun, and keep us posted

hey hun I got all my symptoms just from a good ovulation my cycles also are around 32 days... I felt the same as u and took a test thought I was 5 weeks accords to dates and test being really dark and turns out I was like 3.2 weeks ...

at my 6 week scan (which I thought was like nearly 8 weeks ) we saw a little bub (more like a blob) and heart beat and that was 6w bang on going by measurements ...

maybe your dates are just way off.. this happens some times.. I wouldn't worry too much until your next scan.

hope this helps

I thought I would be 8 weeks and 5 days on my scan last week, it was an internal and they saw a baby but it was measuring more like 6 weeks and she couldn't confirm there was a heartbeat - so I am to be rescanned this coming tuesday, I am so confused and heartbroken, I feel that I am grieving already, how frustrating !! My cycles are a little more normal than yours but no idea when I ovulate so it could be a little off.

Good luck sweetie, I understand what you are going through .XXXXXXXXXXX

Just went through this myself, went for my first scan on the 2nd on November, I should have been 7 weeks based on my LMP (I also have pcos and whacky cycles, but the last 3 had been regular) so was shocked when the scan only showed me at 4 weeks, no yok sac, nothing, just the amniotic sac which measured four weeks on the dot. My doc said i could have ovulated later due to the PCOS or could be that the baby stopped growing at 4 weeks. Booked a scan for two weeks later, which happened yesterday. there was a beautiful heartbeat, large amniotic sac and a fetal pole! the scan showed me at 7 weeks!!! Baby had grown by 3 weeks! I can't tell you to relax and that everything is going to be fine because I just came out of that situation and know it doesn't always help.It's not unheard of to measure smaller then expected! But just hold out hope that your little blob is fine and growing stronger everyday! Good luck and praying that everything turns out perfect!

hiya...good luck for the next scan, i think it is possible you ovulated later than you thought you had - so an unsually long cycle - so that means fertilisation occured later than you thought - i had this, but was off by about a week...which meant i have a 35day cycle instead of the usual 30day average...as long as the embryo is ok and developing fine - it should all be ok

Good luck again.xxx

Thank you so much for your reply! I feel the same as you.. as though I am grieving already. I was just so caught off guard yesterday. I was anxious to see the heartbeat and she couldn't even find the baby. I'm really trying to hold out hope that baby will be fine at the scan in two weeks. I hope that your scan goes well also!! Good luck to you.

This sounds exactly like me! (Having PCOS and my last 3 cycles were regular)!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I have some hope now that things will be fine in 2 weeks when I get scanned again.

It's possible you just ovulated late, and implantation could have taken a bit longer. I ovulated a week late, so if you went by the date of my last period, I'd already be about 8 weeks.. yet here I am, measuring at 6w0d as of Tuesday.

I also have a scan in 2 weeks, and the wait is torturous. Just try not to stress out too much.

i am in the same boat unfortunately. i have no idea what's going on i had a scan wednesday when, according to lmp, i should have been 10w2d. dr measured me at 7w1d. i found out i was prego on october 8 with a hpt (a faint line)...and according to this measurement, that is also the day i should have conceived. not possible to have a pos hpt if that's supposedly the day i conceived... i have had 2 m/c leading up to this so i am feeling pretty down. next scan is a week from monday. the plus sign is we did see a flutter of a heartbeat but i saw that last time too and still lost it at 9w. huge to you and i will be praying for you as well!

*UPDATE* I had some bleeding this morning when I went to the bathroom so I called my doctor and they told me to come in right away. It wasn't a lot of blood so she didn't think that it was a miscarriage, but she wanted to scan me to make sure. They saw the embryo and a heartbeat!!! 121 beats per minute! Everything looks fine! I had a little blood clot that had formed where the baby had implanted in my uterus which was causing the blood this morning. She said that I may spot for the next week or so, but it is nothing to worry about. I am SO relieved!

 

[3rdtimelucky]

Ah that's great news. I'd say your so relieved.

 

[Mintey21]

That's great news! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy x

 

[Amberyll23]

wonderful news, so happy for you!

 

[Babybunny1982]

Brilliant news!!! I'm made up for you

 

[littleblonde]

What exciting news. I was just coming on to say that i honestly think you implanted late. You said yourself you where negitive on a test at 5 days late. So you are probably just a week or so behind. With my eldest i was put back 2 weeks (at 6 weeks) which i new was impossible as i would of been conceiving when i had a positive test. But by 12 weeks i had caught up 2 weeks and got moved on 1 week
