Had a quick scan yesterday at my obs office, I was 6 w 2d. I had a fairly empty bladder (stupid me) so the image was quite grainy. Dr found a sac (only barely visible) which was empty. No heartbeat.....again.................
I know there is hope because Im still so early but why oh why do I have to be on this rollercoaster again. I am on clexane injections and asprin this time to try and save this bean but there are no guarantees.
I go for a proper u/s in two weeks at the place where they have the sophisticated machines and can do an internal scan if necessary, so perhaps they will pick up the h/b then? How the hell am I supposed to be positive given my history?
I don't know how you can be positive, but you just have to.. A friend of mine had 7 m/c before going on to have a healthy pregnancy once she started clexane ...
I hope the next 2 weeks go quickly. Can't you have another one sooner???
I'm surprised they let you have the ultrasound done. At my clinic they won't do it if the bladder isnt full enough. I have everything crossed that everything turns out alright and the next ultrasound they find something
Oh DG. What a stressful and anxious time this is for you.
I hope the next fortnight passes quickly- and that you see a beautiful, flickering heartbeat.
So sorry DG . I know it is a small comfort, but they don't usually do external ultrasounds at 6w for this exact reason. Often the HB is not visible until 9w external (6w internal). I hope all is well with your little bean.
How stressful for you, hugs i hope you get good news in 2 weeks. 6 weeks is very early and often no HB is seen then, with DS1 scan at 7 weeks 5 days HB was slow and OB said either just started beating or was going to be another MC (internal scan), he is now 3 years old, 2 weeks later his HB was normal rate and speed.
Oh DG. fingers crossed and try not to lose hope. As others have said 6 weeks is very early, most often too early to see much at all, much less pick up a heartbeat. That as well as the fact that the machine an OB uses in their office is pretty rudimentary and cannot pick up the level of detail unlike a high tech machine at an ultrasound clinic.
Oh DG, i know with DD3 they needed to do a scan at 6weeks to make sure it wasnt another ectopic, i remember before the scan the DR saying "now you know we probably wont see a HB" i was all "thats ok, ill just be happy to see that its in the right spot"
PIGS BOTTOM i was!
As i had seen DD2 HB at 5weeks something on U/S i was sure that there must be something wrong if they hadnt been able to see anything this time!
Thank goodness i was wrong, but the wait til that 8 weeks scan, then 12....then 18....Um actually pregnancy after loss just sucks balls....
Its stressful its horrible, but we all know in the end its worth it!
Huge hugs and much strength sent your way as you endurer an long (but healthy) pregnancy.
I for one cant wait to read your BA in 7.5months time
Thanks everyone, your lovely words mean so much to me.
I spoke to my Obs late this afternoon about being worried and he said I could have the scan next week instead, so that I will re-book first thing in the morning. Fingers crossed this bub holds on and shows itself next week.
Glad to hear you're having the scan next week and not having to wait a fortnight. Hang in there. I have everything crossed for you that this bub is the one that's meant to be. This is all so much more stressful than it should be
Not the start I wanted...
