Pregnancy after Eptopic.. but fearing the worst

[YellBreanne]

Hi everyone- This if my first post on these boards. I had an eptopic pregnancy back in April of this year. It was treated in May with Methotrexate so we waiting several months before trying again to ensure that it was compleltly out of my system. I got my first BFP in october and based on my last cycle should be about 9 weeks but... I went in for my first scan on November 6th to make sure everything was in the right place and I had a beautiful yolk sac in the right place but maybe dating a little smaller than we thought. at that point I should have been barely 6 weeks based on last cycle... so Doctor reschedule me for two weeks later which he anticipated that I would be 7 maybe 8 weeks... that was on 11/20... Went in and was measuring 6 weeks 4 days which would mean at my first appointment I was only 4 weeks 4 days... about a week and half behind what I thought.. well anyways even though I was measuring 6+4 and I was happy there was an embyo but there was no heartbeat.. I was crushed.. The doctor started talking about missed miscarraige but said maybe there is still a small chance that we are just too early to see a heartbeat and I am really holding onto that hope right now. I dont want to have to go through another loss... It is so hard and alot of the time people dont understand. I go back today for another scan and praying for my miracle baby! I am thankful for this board and the ability to vent because we havent told our family or friends yet so its hard to to through it alone...

I experienced an ectopic February of this year. Like yours mine was also treated with Methotrexate. We waited for three complete cycles until trying again. Lo and behold we got our BFP after the first try (it took us a year the first time). Because of the previous pregnancy our OB conducted an ultrasound at 8 weeks. We were able to see the sack and pole as well as a HB of 171. I pray that you will be able to see and hear your baby soon.
