    Tilly Girl, Im so sorry you find yourself on this rollercoaster again. Can I ask if the scan was abdominal or transvaginal? Secondly do you have a retroverted uterus? If you have a retroverted uterus it makes the baby appear smaller (which Drs equate to younger) than it actually is on a abdominal u/s, but as pg progresses the uterus moves forward and the baby appears to 'catch up'. Although I did not have a happy ending when this happened to me, I know plenty of people who have. So many in fact, that you should not give up hope. I know how easy it is for others to say be positive when you have been through so much loss, and how hard it is yourself to believe it will be ok.

    I am hoping and praying this turns out xx.

    Similar happened to me, but unfortunately my news was not good - just a sac at what I should have been 5/6 weeks and went on to m/c naturally. I did have spotting, so that it why I went & got an u/s.
    Given you are early & you have a retroverted uterus, it is really difficult to tell what is going on. A follow up u/s & bloods will shed more light. Best of luck, I hope all is ok & continues to be
