Hi....I went in for a scan yesterday and was told my baby measured only 6 and half weeks and could not detect a heartbeat....I believed I was almost 10. I had blood tests done immediately for Hcg levels. My doctor rang me this morning and told me they were very high and wants me to wait another week to retest. I still feel pregnant and have had no signs of cramping or bleeding. I have had two miscarriages in the past year so I'm terrified! Waiting and not knowing is mental torture.
If you are only 6 and a half weeks a heartbeat may not be detectable yet. Some ultrasound clinics won't do scans until 7 weeks for that reason as it causes undue trauma.
I hope things work out well- the bit knowing is very painful.
Thanks everyone for your well wishes.....I'm pretty sure about the dates give or take only a couple of days I have been ovulating late but that doesn't really allow for the time frame! The us is indicative of my conception date! Waiting and not knowing is the worse....every time I go to the bathroom I anticipate seeing something but there is nothing, it is messing with my head because it is all I can think about!
Well I started spotting brown blood on Friday and was told to stay in bed and get my blood test on Wednesday unless I start bleeding heavily! I am cramping especially in my lower back and all down my legs and have constant headaches! I still feel pregnant. I'm concerned though and not sure if I should be getting checked...thoughts?
