Is there any hope? *sensitive*

[Dreamama]

Hello ladies, little background...I have (or used to have) PCOS and after a year with Clomid and one round of IVF I had a beautiful daughter who is now 15 months old.

Since giving birth, my period came back and in shock I found out 4 weeks ago I was pregnant and test said 2-3weeks. I’m pretty sure I conceived around the 17/04 so I should be 8 weeks.

Went for scan yesterday and there was a little sack and embryo measuring 6w+3d and too small to see heart beat. She suggested another scan in a week.

I’m pretty sure is over 😞 On 26/04 I did the test that said 2-3 weeks so it would be impossible for me to be 6 weeks, is that right?

Just trying to hold on to some hope but deep inside I know it’s over.

Thanks for reading xx

Hey. In my personal experience: those particular test kits are not that reliable. I did one that crashed (froze) and didn’t give me a response. Then did a traditional one and got the solid lines. I think they are programmed to give a specific 1 out of 3 scenarios, based on what level of hormone it detects - so my theory is that they can estimate wrong. My experience was many years ago but I’ll never use one of those again. It may be that you had only just conceived and hence your scan showing up young.

I don’t think you should worry - a lot can change in a week so stay positive and see what the follow-up scan says. Use this next week to rest and relax as much as possible x

Thank you. Looking online, by the date I think it was the conception I’m pretty sure I should be 8 weeks so I’m fairly convinced it’s over but in any case I’m going for a scan next week.

Hi Dreamama. I think I would hold out for the follow up scan, as early detection can be a bit uncertain. Hope all works out well for you. Diane
