Any hope, not growing at 7 weeks

Hi warriors,

I got a BFP after our 4th frozen embryo transfer with a 5 day blastocyst. At the 6 week 2 day scan was measuring a week behind but there was a heart beat, scanned this week and it hasn’t grown, but there is still evidence of a heart beat, they are going to scan me again in another week. Has anyone got any success stories in these type of circumstances please? Feeling so desperate and sad 😞 xx

Hi, I got a BFP after a FET, I did a scan at 7 week but there was no heartbeat and ended in miscarriage.

But your case is different, there is an heartbeat. I wouldn't worry about the size, I know it's almost impossible but try to relax during this week.

xx

Gosh what a stressful time for you - got everything crossed there is a good outcome. Heartbeat is a positive thing x

Thanks for all your reply’s, it really means a lot to me.

My clinic have said the outcome is very unlikely to be positive but I suppose all we can do is hope! 💓

I just wanted to offer support and to say I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this. This happened to me last year and the wait between scans was such an upsetting and stressful time so I can imagine how you must be feeling. Sadly in my case, at my third scan our baby had died. I hope very much that this is not the outcome for you, but if it is know you’re not alone and we are here to support you. Be kind to yourself xx

It’s so hard to have a positive result right at your fingertips like this. My story was very similar just 6 weeks ago and when I posted on here and other Facebook groups I am a member of there were lots of mixed stories - lots of women whose measurements caught up by the next scan, and others where sadly their pregnancy ended. For me, my second scan showed very little growth and the heartbeat was gone 😔 I hope your news will be positive at your next scan, sending hugs your way in getting through each day until then, this wait period was worst of all for me (I thought the two week wait was bad). One day at a time, you will soon know.

It’s so difficult isn’t it? Like you said this has been so much harder than the TWW and they are always torture, I think it’s all so anxiety provoking whatever your experience and I really underestimated what this ivf journey would do to my mental health, unfortunately my fertility counsellor isn’t very good, but I might go back to staff support through work. Thanks again for replying and very sorry about your experience xx

Hi Jem, so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve been there myself and it’s truly heartbreaking. The wait between scans was awful. I don’t have a positive story I’m afraid, but wanted to send you lots of love and say I’m hoping for positive news for you at your next scan xx
