Oh wow please dont give up hope yet. I was told to prepare for a d & c and had a scan and saw a little heartbeat at 7 weeks 5 days. Thinking of you!!!!!!!
i was thinking the exact same as i read your post ellie - i know it's probably tearing you apart no knowing whether to hold on to hope or to accept the inevitable - but hun, please hold on until you know for sure. i have everything crossed for a great outcome to thursdays appointment
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!
Thanks everyone...your support is appreciated so much...I really am going crazy...just had a phone call from a girl from work who told me about her friend that went to my clinic and had the same thing happen...went home to wait for mc...never happened then HB at 8 weeks...so many stories of hope...I so want to be one of those stories!!!!
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!!!!!!
Well...one more day to get through...this has been such a long week...Monday seems like a lifetime ago...preg symptoms are in full swing...had a big chuck while brushing my teeth last night..DH very concerned...so sweet...I'm ok in the morning it's the afternoon/evening that get yukky...I hope that's a good sign...I guess with HcG 12000going to feel symptoms anyway whether bub there or not...thanks so much foR listening...if I don't post tomorrow pm that will mean I'm in hospital...fingers crossed I'll be back here by lunchtime with good news xxx
Thanks Girls...I'll let you know how things go...if I haven't posted tomorrow afternoon you'll know I'm in hospital having D&C...which I will only agree to if there is absolutely no chance...hope to be talking to you tomorrow
Ellie, I will be praying for good news for you tomorrow. That you have had to go through this to begin with is horrible. Please let there be a happy ending. All the best xxx
