Measuring slightly behind

[LunaSky2]

Just after some reassurance! We had our ivf viability scan and we measured exactly 8w1d which was spot on with our transfer dates! We've been for a private scan today as I'm a worrier & I should be 9w5d however she had 3 dates come up when measuring 9&1 9&2 and 9&3, she said I was 9&1 so I'm now just worrying incase this isn't a good sign as our dates should be accurate with it being ivf?

I seem to worry about everything and our dating scan isn't for 3 weeks 🫣

It is hard to get a exact measurement. I was measured a week behind with my firsy for a bot then it caught up. Amd i had a healthy 7.5lb baby. I am sure it will all be fine. All the best of luck!

As 1st post says hard to get exact measurements at this stage Try not to worry too much Take care of yourself

Hey lovely,

If 3 different people took 3 different readings right now they would all be different.

It's a big worry for us - especially as you say, it should be easy with the exact dates, but it's not an exact science still. Try not to worry (I know easier said than done).

I had my NHS 12 scan at 13.3 weeks but was measuring at 12.4, but they didn't change my due date to match measurements as it was IVF they said my due date was far more accurate than there date based on measurements. They said if there was more than a 1.5 week difference either way then they would monitor pregnancy closer. We did have a private scan at 16 weeks where we were again measuring a few days behind. I don't know what we were measuring at my 20 week scan. Try not to panic the measurements are not prefect you can have two scans the same day done by different people and be measuring different on them x

If I remember there are special charts for measuring Ivf babies because they measure slightly off expected. My baby measured ahead and behind at various points of pregnancy and was born fantastically at 50th centile. I had a lot of tears and manic googling throughout because of this.

In my experience, health professionals are good at saying things are not going to progress or that they are worried. X
