Haven't posted in a while but found out recently we are expecting our 3rd. I took a test on the 26th of Nov and the indicator suggested we were 5+ weeks. I have no clue when my last period was and this was all a bit of a surprise. We don't have a dating scan until Jan 11th. However the last few weeks I've been getting quite a bit of mucus when I wipe. I would say it's been there maybe 50% of the time. Last week it started to turn a bit pink and I was getting the odd streak of blood. It is only when I wipe and if I wipe again I don't get anymore. I didn't worry too much at first but as it's continued I phoned my midwife. She didn't sound too worried but suggested as I had a bit of mild back ache that morning I should phone the EPU to get checked over. Well we were scanned yesterday and they can't see the baby. Just the sac measuring 6 weeks. They questioned my dates and when I told them seemed pretty certain it's a mmc. Because it's my first scan they want to see me again next week to see if there is any change. Obviously we're really upset but I can't help but find myself wondering if there is any possibility the dates could be wrong or they might still see something next week? I realise I am probably torturing myself but is there anyway the test I took could have overestimated how far along I am? Has anyone seen so little measuring 6 weeks and seen the baby at a later date? I know hope is slim (we saw our first with a heartbeat at 5 1/2 weeks) but I feel I can't just give up on it yet. I just can't see how the numbers would work. Even if I pretend the test was a week out and I was 4 weeks, I would still be almost 9 by now. Happy to hear any stories, good or bad.
