Help! Back from my early scan been put back a week? Final Update page 1 - :0(

[Pippin]

Well I'm back from my scan and I don't know what to think. She's dated me 6w+1 but I should be 7w+3. She saw fetal pole, yoke and sack but no heartbeat! She said maybe the start of one but nothing visible yet! Feeling very sad, got to go back week monday. She seemed positive but I don't.

I know this is asked a lot but has this happened to anyone and it's been ok?

I just feel that something is wrong, I've felt fine the last four days too, no MS or anything I just know this is going to end badly

*******************************************

Update : 7/9/10

Back from EPU, baby hasn't grown since Saturday, no heartbeat still, it's confirmed over. Waiting for one more week for final scan then we decided whether to go naturally or have a d&c.

Thanks for your support. xxx

Hi, I had an early scan. I thought I was 6+1, but the scan showed I was 5+2. I was told not to worry as it may have taken longer to implant. But when I saw MW on wed she told me that I will probably find that at 12 wk scan the dates will more than likely even out.

I am only just over 8 weeks, and still trying to stay positive but have to wait another 4 weeks until all will be revealed.

Good Luck and try to remain positive. xx

Oh Pippin!!!!

When i had my scan at 6+5 they saw no hb and then a week later they did see hb but put me back 2 weeks! I ignored that though because that would mean i conceived around the day i got my bfp? I am thinking all dates will work out at 12 week scan. I can't believe you have to wait a whole week, its a horrible wait honey. Right, positive thinking now, unless anything happens between now and next week all is fine with bubs until they say otherwise. Stop reading scary threads on here and think happy thoughts. There is no reason that anything would be wrong with your baby, in my experience if they suspect something is wrong they tell you straight, she wouldn't give you false hope xxxxxx Big hugs xxxxx

Oh there are so many of us in limbo land now!
So sorry you're having to go through the not knowing and worrying, its unbearable isnt it
Is there any chance your dates could be out?

Will keep everything crossed for you.

Hi, i had an early scan at 6 weeks and was told i was only 5 weeks, i had to have a scan one week later as they couldn't see heartbeat, at the second scan they measured me at being 7 weeks. i don't think they can always be 100% accurate with the dates when it's an early scan. xx

 

[Pippin]

Thank you all of you Armywife didn't realise you were put back but that gives me hope it really does, thanks my friend. I'm trying to be objective about it, thinking what will be will be but my heart just can't let me. I've cried quite a bit which is silly as she sounded positive but I just know from on here how these things can turn out. I haven't felt pregnant for a couple of days but that happened with Sam so trying to think about that too.

WelshRose on here has worked out some dates for me bless her and it could be I ovulated a few days later than thought and implanted a little later and that would be the week. We only did the deed once this month so I know when we it was the 26th July. So if I ovulated 5 days after (I thought 3 days after according to cm) that and implanted 12 days after that it could work out as a rough guess. Just hope that's the case and not she's just stopped growing at 6 weeks 1 day.

Anyway I'm going to be positive now, grrrrrrr (see I'm trying), trying really hard now and I'm going to keep myself busy till MOnday week.

Sorry +tivethoughts and Tryingfora4th your going through this too. PMA to us all!!!

Thank you I just realised if she comes on her new date of the 29th then I get a months extra pay as I can leave at the end of term and be paid until she is born maybe she's trying to do me a favour and be a little later for me!! Feel more positive now I've had my weep, how do we attached so quickly to something so small!!!! I'm daring to caller her a her now as only women can be this awkward

 

[Armywife]

Hahahaa! Definitely a girl! Glad you are feeling better, it's an awful place to be but pma makes so much difference. Thinking of you xxx

 

[cosmotbear]

Just a horrible position to be in honey
There are so many stories of ladies having had the same thing happen and go back to find hb, so keep your chin up. Early scans seem very hit and miss with dates, I guess it's hard to see very much. Stay positive xxxx

 

[mommy2lexi]

Oh Pippin I am so sorry you are going through this

I hope and pray it's nothing but a mess up with the dates (maybe the lady who did the u/s could have messed up measurements and dating a bit as well). They are soooo tiny at this point the very slightest of messup in measurement can put you back/forward days or weeks!!!

Just wanted you to know I am here for you!!! I hope it all works out for the best....you go back in a week?

This happened to me last time. Good luck!!

 

[Macmad]

Please try to stay positive, I know how you feel. I had 5 BFP and knew I was pregnant but as I didn't know when last period was they scanned me and of course saw nothing probably coz it was far too early. I was then sweating until bloods confirmed BFP. I've since thought I would wait a bit longer for another scan so I don't end up worrying myself to death. You're probably later than you estimated. Chin up and try to concentrate on something else, I know easier said than done.

 

[DawnMN26]

Yes this happened to me.
At 6 weeks they saw 2 sacs but only 1 fetal pole.
I went back 10 days later & there were 2 heart beats.
I"m sure ur fine, hang in there!

 

[mummy2be123]

I'm sure everything is fine if she was positive, thats good right?

When I had a private scan at 6+6 i saw a blob and HB. However I was told my EDD was 22nd december and on my 12 week scan i was put forward to the 17th and going off my LMP i would be due 12th december.

Keep us updated with your next scan! Try not to worry xx

With my 1st son I had a scan at 5.5 wks and they saw nothing at all,at 6+wks there was a dot they said could be a sac,at 7+wks there was a sac but no hb.I was almost 9 wks before we saw a heartbeat.All the docs said my dates were wrong,but when I went for my 12wks scan my dates were spot on.And he was born 5 days past my due date.
From about 30 wks onwards thay were scanning me and telling me I was small for my dates,and that he was underweight,but he was 8lb 1oz!Definately not small!!
Scanning is not so accurate a lot of the time.
Try not to worry,I know what you're going thru so easier said than done,but if the sac was there this wk,the hb should be there nxt wk.
Hope this week of waiting flies for you,try to keep busy,and good luck.x

You ladies are fabulous thank you soooooo much for taking the time to reply. I'm feeling more positive than before so I'm glad I posted. It's the waiting that's so hard isn't it. Really appreciate it thank you. Xxx

 

[Pippin]

I've booked an appointment with my doctor tomorrow at 5:30 and I'm going to ask for a rescan by the NHS. They were better than the private scans with my son so no harm asking, never asked for anything like this before but he's a nice doctor so fingers crossed.
