Hello Ladies,

After ttc for 5mths we got a very welcome bfp, I have been nervous the whole time as before our DD we had a 2nd tri missed mc. Anyway made an appt with my Ob at what I thought would be 7.5wks and was anxious to have my fears squashed by hearing a heartbeat. My Ob noted the sac but couldnt detect a heartbeat, he did both a internal and external u/s. He then measured the sac and said it was measuring for about 5wks so either I O'd late or the pregnancy isnt progressing and I will mc. Has anyone been in this situation and had a good outcome.....a healthy baby? I cant see how I can be 2-3 wks out and I recall this happening with my 1st preg and that didnt end well. My Ob said he'd see me again in 3wks...argh the wait and over xmas and NY. Its hard to be too devastated when my constant companion is a joyful 20mth yr old, but I would so love to give her a sibling and if this baby isnt to join us it means I would be having a baby at 40 and I dont know if Im up for ttc again after 2mc's. I suppose I should try and stay positive , my Ob certainly talked as though it would be ok but also made it clear a mc was a possibility. So any positive happy outcome stories would be great.

Thanks Lola
