Reassurance scan. Preparing for the worst

Hi all, not sure why I am writing this. Probably looking for a little glimmer of hope. I’ve just been for my reassurance scan at 7 weeks 5 days after having a double FET at the end of March. All seemed great at the start when she said she could see twins (identical) but needed to get someone else to confirm. We were then told that they can see to embryos and fetal poles but both babies are only measuring 6 weeks and no heartbeats. We need to carry on with the meds and go back to be rescanned next Wednesday but it’s not looking very promising. I would really love to hear positive stories but I know that measuring 12 days behind and no heartbeat is not looking promising. 😞

Thank you for your reply. Trying to stay a little bit hopeful but I’m realistic at the same time x

No advice as such, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry you're going through so much stress and anxiety right now. It must be so tough. Holding onto hope for you that the babies will catch up. xxx

I haven’t got a story to offer but just wanted to say I’m sorry you’re having to go through this and that the limbo between scans is a horrible time so I hope you’re holding up ok xx

I unfortunately cant give you any hopeful story but an ear if you want to vent. Recently had a similar wait and its torute and im sorry either way that you had to go through this wait. I wish you all the luck and if you need a chat just shout. Best of luck for you and the teeny tiny ones xxx

Thank you for your message. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this too. The wait between scans is torture isn’t it. Especially when you know you are just delaying the inevitable. I really just want to stop taking all medication now but I know I have to hang on to that small bit of hope for the next week. I’ve had a look at your profile and we appear to be mirroring each other’s journey. I also had my first fresh transfer in November which led to a BFN and then this is my first frozen transfer. I’ve got 3 frozen embryos left so hopefully I will be lucky next time. Wishing you all the best of luck xx

Its so hard, im just getting over it all. With all my heart i hope you have a more positive outcome. We have one left in the freezer but taking a few months to recoup. Staying on the medication was just like a knife every pessary etc so as much as anyone can say this i do have an inkling of your pain and confusion right now. Keep in touch xxx

Take care lovely xx

Thank you for your reply. I’m sorry you are having to go through all of this also. This really is a sh***y club to be in but the support from everyone is amazing. It’s so difficult to talk to friends and family when they don’t know how it feels.

[Miracle43 in reply to Hidden]

The wait between scans is awful. The support here is amazing. I totally get the difficulty with friends and family. Don’t give up hope xxx

I’m sorry I don’t have a story of positivity to share with you. The anxiety of waiting and not knowing is torture. Just wanted to say I’m so sorry you are going through this and I wish you luck for your next scan xxx 🤞🤞🤞

🙏 you get some good news next week I don’t personally have this experience but I’ve read plenty of posts on here with people shocked how things have turned around after their scan 🍀💕🤞 xxx

Update…..had my follow up scan today and as we’d expected we have had a missed miscarriage. I feel strangely ok today. I think I’ve had the week to process it and I’m just glad today we’ve got a definitive outcome. We can start to move on nowand think about the next one.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Sorry to hear this but I remember that feeling - you are back in control rather than that terrible limbo. Doesn't stop the hurt but at least you can start to be proactive. Sending you a big hug xx
