I have a scan Tuesday at 7+3 (my dates), 8+4 (by LMP/doctor's dates). I'm wondering if anyone has had success with an abdominal scan at approx 7.5 weeks?
TBH, I'm pretty scared to get a transvaginal scan done because I had light brown spotting a week ago for about 8 days. Midwife thinks it was further implantation and/or sensitive cervix. It's been gone a while and I'm not worried anymore, but I've read a couple of horror stories online about miscarriages shortly after transvaginal ultrasounds, and even if it's unlikely they're connected I'd really rather not take the chance?
This scan is a dating scan because I'm not 100% on my ovulation dates (I'd say I'm within a day or 2, but still).
Anyway I could just use someone to talk me through this - I'm struggling because I'm afraid of the transvaginal ultrasound but I want to know everything's ok. If we don't see anything on an abdominal scan I'm going to really want the transvaginal, but I'll also be really nervous - especially if it's likely that I'll spot afterwards.
Any help? Thank you!!
