Yesterday I had my first U/S.
I had moved the scan forward from Friday the 13th as I had had some spotting and I had a nagging feeling we would only see a sac and no baby. My intuition is usually pretty good when it comes to things going wrong, but I wasn't sure, maybe I was just thinking the worst because that's all I know? But I was right... again.
Based on my LMP I believed I was 6w+5d. The scan showed no HB. There was a sac measuring 9 days behind my dates at 5w+3d. There was a fetal pole though which is better than I had predicted!
So now I guess, either my dates are wrong or something is wrong.
I had hcg levels taken earlier in the pregnancy to confirm my levels were doubling.
29/12 hcg 631 at 5w (3w+5d according to scan dates)
3/12 hcg 2997 at 5w+5d (4w+3d according to scan dates)
I will have to wait for the U/S report to be seen by my FS, who is away on leave but taking emails. She will then decide when she wants me to have another scan, I am assuming in around 2 weeks.
I find it hard to believe my dates are wrong as we have had very minimal BD'ing since Lucy was born. It just doesn't add up...
Also I am on progesterone twice daily. Could this be making my body think the pregnancy is viable and be stopping me from miscarrying??
I guess the only way we will find out what is happening is to wait for the next scan, then stop the progesterone if the pregnancy is not viable and wait to miscarry.
I need to hear stories if this has happened to anyone (good or bad outcome).
I do not want to get my hopes up, but I am also trying to remain positive.
I am trying hard not to assume the worst, but maybe there isn't meant to be the happy ending we hope for.
My family don't know what to say to us anymore. Right now they are just saying "everything will be fine, nothing else bad can happen to us, we have been through enough"...
I want to scream at them to shut-up, because they don't know that!
