So I had a 3rd scan today and as much as possible I prepared myself for bad news. Knowing the gestational sac was very small and empty last week I expected to be taken out of this cruel state of limbo and told it was all over, to stop the medication and let the miscarriage happen.
But...
The gestational sac is still small, hasn’t grown how they would expect in a week and they can see a significant bleed which explains my pain and bleeding twice last week. But today there was a yolk sac and a tiny fetal pole. No heartbeat but could be it’s too small.
So...
They’ve told me things don’t look good as the development is so slow. They gave me the option to stop the meds and let nature happen or have a repeat scan next week.
I’ve chosen to have the scan next week and carry on with the meds for now. I know it will be a miracle but I have to give this little one every chance. They’ve told me that due to the bleed I could miscarry at any time. It’s out of my control anyway and at least I’ll know I’ve done everything possible for this precious little one.
