    Ellie - i don't want to get shot down for saying this... but is it possible the embryo is still viable? I mean my bubba didn't have a HB till 8 weeks...

    ETA - How sad would it be if you got a D&C but really the embryo was fine? But i'm sure your FS would know more than I!

    Sounds simillar to what i said huh! I definately wouldn't be diving into a D&C until you know for absolutely sure... Imagined if you had a D&C and it was infact a viable pregnancy.

    I agree with the girls Ellie, it's not time to give up yet! Hold on to whatever hope you have.

    Yep I would definately agree Ellie, please don't let them do a D & C till you know for sure whether this is in fact viable.

    I will wish the very best for you!

    Thanks girls...
    Turns out that my cousin (who lives in America...and has also had ectopic like me)...had this exact same experience with all three pregnancies...her babies couldn't bee seen or HB until 7.5 - 8 weeks...because she has a retroverted uterus and the bubs 'hide'...and ...yep...I have a retroverted uterus too...hanging on to any bit of hope now!!!! Can anyone tell me though (just one more thing I ove started to worry about) if it was a molar pregnancy would it have shown up on my scans already??????

    Ellie,
    What a rollercoaster you are on at the moment. When I had an early scan at 7 weeks, my FS told me not to freak if there was no heartbeat. Hang in there hun. As for molar, I'm not too sure but isnt that a cell division issue I dont think you can have a molar with IVF. But I'm sure someone knows more about it than me

    I was told there was no HB till around 8 weeks.. i didn't think it had anything to do with having a retroverted uterus.. I don't have one. But i could be very well wrong. Good luck!

    Ellie,

    I have had the same thing as you, retroverted Uterus, sometimes it takes a little longer than usual, and my OBGYN has also told me that blighted ovum is another classical symptom of a retrovered uterus, I hope this helps but with our DS who is 14 months it took till 8 weeks for heartbeat to pickup...
    All the best sweetie will be thinking baby thoughts for you!!!!!!
