*Side bar - the report published after my 6 week ultrasound showed the CRL as 1.6mm which I already though was very strange as that seemed very small, but it still said it measured for 6.0 weeks. (Again I was 7 weeks 3 days according to when I know I ovulated per the ops test). And you should be measuring 7.7 and you are measuring 6.0.” She pointed to her report. She took me into her office and before I even sat down she said “so she told you right? this isn’t looking good.” I said hold on, can I please call my husband (since he was not allowed to be there with me due to COVID.) She paused to allow me to share the bad news in real time with my husband. She finished up, took all her US prints with her and left the room saying “you’ll see the doctor soon.” Sometimes for whatever reason it doesn’t pick up and then the next time it’s there.” Maybe she was trying to help me hang onto something too. “Uh yeah sometimes, they’ll prob just retest you. “Does this happen often.?” I asked trying to hang onto something. I asked “is it because it’s too slow?” She said it could be a combo of both slow and really small. After awhile she said “sorry, there is a heartbeat but the machine isn’t picking it up.” I thought oh thank god, and she showed me the little flicker on the screen. I wanted to voice the question “do you see a heartbeat?” But I was too afraid of the answer. So we had a follow up ultrasound a week and a half later.ħ weeks, 3 days - the US tech got very quiet for what seemed like a very long time. Even though it was still early and the normal range is said to be 90+ at that stage, the nurse sounded concerned and said it was slow. I was told it measured at exactly 6 weeks and the heartbeat was 94 bpm. I went in for an ultrasound at 6 weeks, 0 days and everything showed up well and in the right spots. I told myself not to be dumb enough to get any hopes up.

I’ll tell my long story below if interested, but wondering if any others can share their stories of similar miscarriage diagnosis whether it turned out surprisingly positive or as diagnosed. So I am currently waiting - either to start bleeding on my own or for my last ultrasound appointment to confirm no heartbeat before my scheduled D&C. Zero hope coming from the infertility doctor.

Any support appreciated I'm a nervous wreck after a previous m/c.I was diagnosed Friday with an impending miscarriage.


I am surprised though, that in one week two babies have grown considerably, since at the scan last week only one yolk sac could be seen and no fetal pole.ĭoes anyone have any similar experiences to share? I'm happy to hear positive / negative stories but am really confused at this point and shocked there are two babies in the same sac (which I have read can be a high risk pregnancy). I guess I'm just hoping they will have grown and I can see heartbeats but I'm really not hopeful at this point I think the baby / babies must have stopped growing. I have been asked to come for another scan next week. The nurse told me not to get my hopes up as she thought they should be bigger than they are measuring and should have heartbeats by now. Today they saw two yolk sacs and two fetal poles in the one sac but no heartbeats. Today I had my follow up scan, I think I am 7 weeks. She said I looked about 5 weeks pregnant. I paid for a private scan the following week and she could only see exactly the same. I had a scan 2 weeks ago and they could see a yolk sac and no fetal pole (I think I was 5 weeks pregnant at this point). Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can offer any advice or share experiences.
