We had a scan on Tuesday where I was 5 weeks + 6 days. Clinic booked this in early as my HCG was so high on day 14 at 5564. I didn't want a scan this early.
I starting bleeding while I was in the waiting room waiting for my scan. When they scanned me they said I was pregnant with twins (we transferred 2) but lost one hence the bleeding. The other one they could see the sac and yolk but no embryo or anything. They said we were still early but I could tell they were not hopeful. Their attitude and the atmosphere was horrible. They gave this baby a 50 50 chance. We have another scan on Tuesday. We have both been beside ourselves. I have never seen my husband so upset before. We are both grieving at the moment. It's so hard. We were so excited to have gotten this far and really thought we were going to have two beautiful babies. We got carried away I know that now. How do people cope after miscarriage? Any symptoms I did have before have now completely gone since I bled. I know deep down that if baby was growing well we would have seen the embryo by 5 weeks + 6 days. ❤️ such a sad update, I'm so sorry if this upsets anyone. I honestly dont know where to turn. If this baby has even a small chance I now feel guilty I am putting my body through so much upset and stess Xxx

Oh love. I’m sorry. This sounds so incredibly stressful and traumatic for you and your husband. I’m also sorry your clinic doesn’t sound like they were very supportive. I’m sure that really didn’t help. Also please try not to worry about worrying! You’re not a robot: it’s natural to feel all sorts of emotions, and if your LO is going to make it it’s going to make it regardless of whether you’re stressed.
I will say though that from what I’ve read 5.6 is early days, and it is definitely possible not to see everything at early scans. There is a lady who made a similar thread worried about no heartbeat at 5.6 recently saying her doctor didn’t seem v. positive, and she just updated that everything was fine when scanned again a week later. I totally understand why it’s hard to be hopeful, but if you don’t mind, I will hold onto some hope for you for next Tuesday.
I am so sorry!!! This is heart breaking! I was so happy when I read your update before. Please don’t lose hope. It is still very early. Wait for your scan on Tuesday. I am really hoping for good news. Please take care of yourself. ❤️
Oh I’m so sorry to hear of your heartbreak. Please don’t give up hope though that is a really early scan and when I had bleeding they wouldn’t scan me till I was 6 and a half weeks as they can’t be sure till then. I know you must feel that it is all over but you don’t know just yet, there is still a chance and I’m keeping everything crossed for your next scan. Allow yourself to feel all your feelings. Always here if you want to talk xxxx
I'm so sorry you're going through this and I don't want to give you false hope but I couldn't pass without saying. I had a scan at 5+5 all we saw was a yolk sac. Scanned again at 6+2 and we saw a heartbeat. I hope with all my heart this is your outcome ❤️ x
How awful for you. I’m sorry you were treated with such little compassion. The next days will be excruciating for you both. Keeping everything crossed for Tuesday. But…if the worst happens, you will be ok. Having a miscarriage is awful. I had one last October. We found out at our viability scan that the baby has stopped growing at 5+3 days. At our scan I was 6+3 and there was no heartbeat. We were devastated. And I still feel so sad about it.
I then did another transfer 2 months later and got a BFN. I was pretty numb still and probably had gone ahead a bit early. We’ve done a 3rd transfer and I’m now 7+2 and all going well. This pregnancy feels so much different! And our scan at 6+5 looked completely different too. It’s made me realise how much was wrong with our little embie in Oct, it just couldn’t develop further.
Sending hugs and solidarity. Thinking of you & praying for some luck xx
I haven't mucho to add to what the others have written already, just wanted to give you a hug and unite with all of us cheering for you in the hope that there's good news on Tuesday! You know, this early the symptoms are so unreliable! One day they're there 🤢🤩, the other they're not, scaring the s**t out of us 😥 But it's not over till it's over ❤ Just be kind to yourself while waiting for the final judgement on Tuesday 😘❤❤❤
UPDATE: We went for our second scan yesterday at 6 weeks + 6 days. It went amazing and we heard our little baby's heartbeat ❤️🙏🥰 still in absolute shock as I passed a big clot just before we went in to the scan and was still bleeding quite a bit. We convinced ourselves it was over. They said it was the other baby still coming away and have put my progesterone up until 12 weeks. Next scan at 12 weeks. Hope all continues well. 😭 thanks everyone for your amazing positive vibes. It was one of the worst weeks ever and I'm shocked that this little embie has held on xxx
Ah I'm so happy for you! This is such great news and you must feel really relieved, especially after seeing the bleeding. Take it easy and I hope you have plenty of treats lined up to celebrate this lovely milestone ❤️✨
