A hpt might still be positive with a blighted ovum at this stage. It worries me that you are measuring so far behind. I hope it turns out well for you hun xox
you should not wait, you should go and see another doctor as soon as you can and get another scan.
i hope this does not distress you by reading this, but when a baby stops growing it starts shrinking at the same rate it would have grown. by 12 weeks you should be able to see the baby by ultrasound. my sac was measuring just over 8 weeks at my 12 week scan, the lady was very experienced ( i know her through my job) and did a very thorough internal, and saw the placenta was hydropic and the baby was tiny, measuring a few millimeters, with no heartbeat. you will have hcg in your system as it is produced by the placenta which is probably still there and still producing it. or as others have said it could be a blighted ovum, either way, you should get another opinion and another scan.
good luck and please let us know how you get on.
I'm so sorry to read your situation. I had a similar experience at 8w3d. Ultrasound showed a perfect little pregnancy sac, but my baby was nowhere to be seen I was absolutely devastated. My ob recommended a d&c as my body was trying so hard to maintain a pregnancy that was not viable, as I was still having really bad morning sickness due to the pregnancy hormones.
I think it's a good idea for you to have the repeat bloods and ultrasound if only to put your mind at rest and know for sure what is going on. I'm terribly sorry that you are going through this
I noticed you are going to Logan. Can you get to Beenleigh? Dr Howse is an extremely attentive Dr who will do everything to get an answer for you and then explain your options.
He has looked after many members of my family for some time and all are both extremely picky with doctors, and very fond of him as a Dr.
