I was hoping the next time I posted was with some good news but unfortunately not.
I’m currently 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant which is amazing in itself as I had some much going against me (age, low AMH, thin lining). I was hoping that I would be able to provide a positive story one day. Trying not to give up all hope but we had the scan today and although everything looked good e.g yolk, measurements etc, the nurse couldn’t detect a heartbeat. She said she would have expected to by now so it’s 50:50. I’m going in for another scan on Monday. I’m trying to keep positive but I’m sure many of you can appreciate how hard this is. This journey will really be the death of me. I’m so exhausted and I don’t know how much fight I have in me. I don’t want to be strong anymore. I just want a break.
Sorry for the pity party. I’m still in shock.
If you have any positive stories, I’d love to hear them.
Thank you and love and baby dust to you all xxx

Hi it’s not uncommon to first detect heartbeat after 7 weeks. 2 out of my 3 had no heart beat at 7 weeks but a week later both were fine. So don’t be too upset for now. Pm me if you want a chat, Good luck xx
Thank you. I keep trying to tell myself this but then I get flashbacks of the nurse telling me that she expected to see the heartbeat. That keeps replaying in my head. It’s killing me.
How am I going to cope without going crazy for another 6.5 days?
I hope you’re doing OK and looking after yourself? xx
So sorry, sometimes a heartbeat isn’t heard until 7 weeks it is still very early days. I hope your next scan is more reassuring. Keeping everything crossed for you ☝🏻 xxx
Yes, its just so unfair all of this!! I was just thinking if late implantation then perhaps your embryo is just a little behind. Ive started meds for prep for an FET, not that Im getting overly excited about it though I am looking forward to some sun! Keeping my fingers and crossed for you hun.xx
I hope it is that. I was even tempted to buy a Doppler but after reading some articles, I’ve decided against. I’ve told myself that I could have a tilted uterus which could be the reason too. The desperation!
Ooooh so you’re close then? Some sun would be good but I’m going to keep everything crossed that this it your time! I know there are a quite a lot of us on here hoping for the same thing for you. Sending love and prayers xxx
Oh gosh, Im glad you decided against that....Ive seen all sort of horror stories about them. Do you have another scan booked? Thanks for being so kind when you are going through such an awful time yourself, I really appreciate it. Sending love and prayers your way too.xxx
We have another scan booked for Monday afternoon. I feel more hopeful today but I’m also scared about being too hopeful if that makes sense? I’m meant to be going to Italy next Tuesday to spend some time with my fiancé’s family and friends... so trying to be positive about that too. I really need a break.
No need to thank me. I really do mean it. It would make me so happy if this one is the one for you xx
Oh gosh so you have quite a horrific wait in front of you?! Yes, I think we are all too scared to dare to hope. I guess its just our way of dealing with the fact we may get bad news. I think you need a nice break too.
I really do need to thank you cause it means the world to have the support! Im not really feeling this is ever gonna work out....probably just self protection but I just cant see that good ending anymore which is a bit crappy but hey ho.xx
Thank you! Hope you’re OK? I’ve just seen that you’ve just had a negative result. I guess that’s a bit of a silly question but I hope it’ll be your time next time x
That’s the best description ‘ it takes your breathe away and you can’t breathe’. That’s exactly how I felt... still feeling. I just want to go to bed and not wake up until it’s all fine. Sad but true.
Thank you! It’s been so tough. This whole journey but esp the last few weeks. I’m exhausted. I don’t even understand how I can find the strength to go on but I will because we always do don’t we?
I’m so sorry about your dog. She sounds like an angel. Look after yourself and don’t rush into anything. But when it’s time, I hope you get it goes well for you xxx
No positive story yet hun but just wanted to send a prayer to you. I hope you get your miracle ❤️
Thank you fir your message. Means a lot. I’ve just read your post so know you’re slightly ahead of me. Praying for you that all is good at your next scan x
Oh so so sorry to hear this, how devastating but it sounds like still some hope, praying you get to hear a heartbeat in your next scan, keeping everything crossed for you xx
I’ve seen quite a few replies that seem to say not unusual not to hear at 6 weeks so praying this is the case with you, I know it must be an anxious wait 😔 keep taking care of you and I’ll keep everything crossed for Monday fit you 🙏🏻 Thank you, re our transfer , yes nervous to get hopes up again but excited too 😊 xx
I’m so sorry that you are going through this. I haven’t got any personal positive stories to share although I have heard of many women on here who have not seen a heartbeat until later. So really hoping this is the case for you too lovely xxx
Thank you for your message. I really hope so too. Feeling sad now but hopefully I’ll feel more positive tomorrow.
Sending you luck and prayers xxx
I have seen so many good news stories on here after such a worrying start, I know nothing will make the next week pass quickly but I am channelling positive news for you - you can do this xx
I had a scan at 7 weeks and they spent ages trying to look for the heartbeat flutter, the Sonographer said she thought she found it but couldn’t be 100% sure. They rescanned at 8 weeks and found it straight away and had no doubt then. I’m now 23 weeks in and all ok on 12 week/20 week scans. Good luck for your next scan x
Thank your your message. This gives me a bit of hope. I’ll be 7 wks/5 days by the next scan so I guess we’ll know either way then. I’m going to try and keep positive although it’s hard.
Congratulations and good luck for the rest of your pregnancy xx
Hi, I’m sorry - I don’t have a story of encouragement, but I can tell you that you are not alone in this fight or in your sentiments! I know it is so much easier said than done, but don’t lose hope - I’m trying my hardest not to...but I know it is extending difficult. You’ve got this!! I’m keep my fingers crossed and hoping for a happy healthy heart beat for you and your little bean...and for mine too! ❤️
Thank you for your message. I had a look at your last post and have seen that you’re going through something similar. We’re around the same age too!
I’m to keep positive but it’s so hard. Yesterday evening and this morning I’ve spent on different fertility forums reading old threads looking for good outcomes. Its not helping really since it seems to be 60:40.
I’m going to stop that now and just keep praying and visualising.
I really hope it works out for you too. It would be amazing if we both get our happy ending xxx
I hear ya! Yes we are! The ticking biological clock doesn’t help. 😣 I’m stopping the reading and googling as well. We are doing and have done all we can. The rest is truly out of our control. I’ve been praying like a nun and trying to visualize as much as possible! I’m hoping for a good outcome for the both of us!! And look, if it isn’t....we will be okay. We’ll be sad and devastated- but we will survive and get through this. But hopefully that will not be the case and we’ll both have our longed for babies!! 🙏❤️
