Hey Ladies......... Not good news from the scan today. I'm supposed to be 6weeks +3/4days and the scan shows a small empty gestational sac measuring 5 weeks 1 day.

So no scan picture. Had my HCG drawn and waiting on the results also having it done again on Friday to see what's what -if it's rising or doubling. They said the pregnancy looks normal for 5 weeks plus. But I should be further along shouldn't I? So why is it showing small. My thinking is it stopped growing a week ago

I temped and did opks and was pretty sure when I ovulated (within 3 days) but they said it can take longer to implant properly and start growing sometimes? I have a feeling little bean hasn't developed still have very sore boobs and am exhausted. This would explain why I've never got that 3+ on the digi's. I'm heartbroken

I'm so sorry! hopefully everything ends up being just fine and your HCG is rising/doubling. sending you lots of

I am so sorry your scan didn't go how you hoped!!! I am praying that your little bean is still growing and the doctors are right about it implanting later! Try to relax and not stress (not so easy, I know). We are all here for you, sweetie!!!

Daisy honey I'm sorry to hear this but let's keep the hope that baby Daisy implanted later than u thought ok....

Pink...love the reveal...I can imagine her face when she caught on...awesome...

Tie don't worry hon, hoping the cramping eases and everything is perfect for your scan...

Jessalex glad to hear there was no infection...

How is everyone else doing today?

to all who are waiting and for all the BFP's and scans...

Amber~ I'm sorry the scan didn't go as you expected. I'm praying that you have great numbers and that your care providers are right about late implantation.

Jessa~ Nice to hear that an infection was ruled out. It hasn't sounded like an easy-going time for you. Hopefully you won't have too much longer before you get your BFP.

Tie~ I know nothing I or anyone else could say would help relieve the anxiety you're having, but just know we are here for you cheering you and your little squish on.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

I am so sorry to hear this . I will keep my fingers crossed that it was indeed late implantation and that little bean is doing ok. Keep us updated

 

[TheTiebreaker]

Thank you Pato and Busytulip. It's so nice having all you guys here to cheer me on. 😘

Baby dust and BFP dust to everyone currently around O or planning on testing soon

I'm sorry, Amber. The hcg wait is excruciating, I know. However, you may have ovulated later than you thought and also implanted on the later side. I have heard of many women getting freaked out by those 6 week scans that measure on the small side, only to get amazing news down the road. Also, don't be freaked out by what this first number is. It's still early and they're more interested in increasing hcg anyhow. Take good care of yourself.

 

[AnnieMac2]

I honestly hate 6 week scans since they can go either way for so many people, but I'll always have to get one being high-risk.

 

[AmberDaisyDoo]

Thank you each and every one of you. I have read (googled) a lot of stories about ladies having unreliable scans at 6 week and even 8 weeks and get to their true due date by the dating scan done at 12 weeks. I think this is just giving me false hope though.

I rang 4 times for my HCG results and they said they'd ring me friday afternoon and to wait until then to see if they've doubled as one number on its own is meaningless. I read that to be able to see a gestational sac my levels should be 1000-2000. But that's just guessing and pointless.

Please don't judge me for feeling this way but if I'm not going to have a baby I really don't want to feel pregnant anymore. My boobs hurt and I fell asleep for 3 hours earlier and I feel slightly sick still I really don't want to feel this exhausted anymore if it's a failing pregnancy. I'm emotional. xxx

 

[.hopeful.one.]

So sorry to hear amber, 6 week ultrasounds are iffy. Praying for doubling hcg levels! Hang in there hun.

Nothing going on here. Cd17 / apx 3dpo today, 9 days till test day! DH and I are going to the baseball game tonight for date night

Thanks,

Date night sounds awesome enjoy!

No one would judge you for feeling like that Amber. It is completely understandable for you to feel that way. Don't give up hope yet, though. Really praying that everything is ok! Sending lots of hugs!!!!!

 

[AnnieMac2]

I can't imagine why anyone would judge you.

Keep in mind though - that first hcg test means almost nothing alone. There is a vast difference between people. They want to see it doubling around 48-72 hours. It will take a second reading 48 hours later before it makes a difference.

Massive range for what's "normal":

https://americanpregnancy.org/while-pregnant/hcg-levels/

It isn't over if it's below 1,000. Even if you're on the low end, there is obviously no magic number. And it could double the very next day after your test.

You ladies are fabulous.

I know this is pointless and ultimately the bloods and then the re-scan in three weeks will give me the answer or if I lose the pregnancy but.

I'm irregular.

So LMP 2nd may, would put me at 6 weeks 4 days if I had a 28 day cycle.
However I got the faintest squinter hold it in the right light of a bfp on a frer the 26th late evening so almost 27th.
So say Implanted on the 25th. From ovulation to implantation could be up to 10 days after I think, I ovulated. That would put me at 5 weeks 2 days since conception/implantation. Making the scan correct.
We also DTD after supposed ovulation so maybe that egg took a little while to release or implant ~(6-10 days) after "ovulation".

Does any of that make sense or am I grasping at straws? I know the real answer is wait and see but I also know a lot of you ladies have been on a lot of journeys and your knowledge combined would put most doctors to shame lol. xxxx

 

[AmberDaisyDoo]
