I had a 6 week scan at my private IVF clinic who confirmed a heartbeat. Due to being so paranoid I booked a second private scan at a different ultrasound clinic more locally. This morning at 7 weeks 3 days they said they couldn’t see a heartbeat. I have been told to contact EPU for a follow up. Has anyone else had same experience with positive results? I also am going to call my clinic tomorrow - I text them on the emergency number and they said to wait a week and continue taking the medication. As we have done this privately everything is so expensive and I don’t want to waste medication if it isn’t successful this time. Any thoughts or experiences you can share?

Hi, sorry that you had to experience this. I would continue taking meds until you will get confirmation from EPU, remember that different sonographers has different machines and skills. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞
I’m so sorry I would defo push for a scan asap at EPU or your clinic to confirm 😢 as limbo is not what you want and shouldn’t be needed at over 7 weeks when you already seen a heartbeat last week! Xx
I'm so sorry to see this - I would also be pushing for another scan ASAP not waiting a week. If they've already seen a heartbeat then it seems silly to wait a week - what are they waiting for? I would give them a call back and ask them. Sending love xx
Gosh sending prayers that the next scan shows the heartbeat 💓
Update - bad news unfortunately.
Thanks for all your well wishes. X
I'm sorry lovely - did you have another scan? I've just been through this so I really feel for you xx
Yeah had another scan and two people confirmed it. The hospital were fantastic. So kind and friendly.
I’m so sorry. It’s just so rubbish really. Sending you lots of love x x
That's so sad but good to hear they took good care of you. I had a similar experience at my local EPU - my clinic were rubbish.
Yea it's heartbreaking - you think it's hard enough getting a BFP - this just blows your mind - hope you're looking after yourself / being looked after xx
I’m so sorry to read the update. It’s so brutal all this. Wish all the best for you
Just sending my thoughts to you at this really difficult time. I hope you are being looked after and know you are not alone. Take care xxx
