What would you do?

I posted just over a week ago about dates being behind.

At the time, i should have been 8wks 5days but was measuring 5wks.

Today i had a repeat scan.

According to LMP dates i should be 10wks 2 days today. I am now measuring 6wks 4 days.

The OB said there is no heartbeat so thats it and i should have a d and c.

Do you think this is being a bit rash?

It has grown, thats something. Proper ms started 4 days ago, which would put me spot on 6wks.

The other week when they did the scan, they just told me i was 5 wks, which would put me spot on for 6wks 4 days today. But today they were telling me i was 5wks 6 days when they scanned me last time. Why not say i was 6 wks then? Why say 5 wks when i was basically 6 wks?

Ive also had 2 pregnancies, where i have been told the wrong thing at an early scan. One, i was told at 5wks 5 days that there was no heartbeat, so the pregnancy wasnt viable..................well she's 6 now!! And another, i was told at 7wks 4 days, i was 6wks 1 day and it turned out, they were out by a couple of mm and my dates of 7wks 4 days were correct.

Also, working it back to conception time, i would have conceived about 6 1/2 wks ago. I think i conceived later this time, like CD 16 to 20.

Do you think i should get a second opinion?

If you have a history of dating scan problems then I would wait for a bit. Follow your intuition hun. You could also seek a second opinion at the same time. Goodluck fingers crossed

Can you get some HCG testing done? Or have you already?

I would try and wait another 10 days and have another scan - 8 weeks by revised dates and h/b should be well visible.

Good luck - what a brood you are raising

I think if you're having doubts you should wait, like BekZ said go with your intuition specially if you have a history of mistakes like that

I'd go with my instincts and wait and get a second opinion! Good luck xox

Thanks for your replies, its much appreciated.

Its funny, when she told me there wasnt a hb and i was miscarrying it almost had no effect on me at all. It was weird. I didnt get that feeling of a sinking heart or anything. Also, in the 10 day wait since my last scan, i havent felt much doom about today or anything.

So maybe that is my intuition telling me.

I'd be asking for quant Beta HCG for the next week at least to see what your numbers are doing etc
