Went for my third appointment in 3 weeks, also third US.
First appointment they told me that my dates are wrong. My LMP was December 28 so I should have been 8w2d but the scan showed a yolk sac and the smallest fetal pole, no HB, and they said I'm measuring about 5 weeks. Second scan showed fetal pole, HB of 96 which they told me was low, and a second yolk sac behind the first. I was ecstatic to see the heartbeat. They dated me at 5w5d. Doc put me on progesterone because my blood tests showed I was half a point low and I'm high risk because I've had 2 previous miscarriages. Third scan showed that the baby only grew one day over the week and had the same heart rate. Doc told me to prepare for miscarriage.
If it happens this will be my third. I'm so scared, I should be 10w but only measuring about 6. I could have ovulated later, I am 35 and I've read that the older you get the later you tend to ovulate. It could have implanted later, so there could possibly be 2 weeks of discretion.
I'm looking at the positives here: heartbeat, slight growth, the HUGE fact that I've had zero miscarriage symptoms. No cramping, no back pain, no bleeding not even spotting or brown discharge. I'm wanting my rainbow baby but I'm terrified how this might end up. We've been trying for over 10 years and have been heartbroken twice.
