So today I should have measured 7 weeks. Baby measured 6 weeks 3 days and had a heart rate of 54-86 bpm. Tech gave it a 50/50 chance and told me to come back in 9 days.
I would love to hear if anyone had similar stories and what the outcome was.

My baby wasn't there when I went for a scan at 6 weeks, no hb or anything, then appeared at 8 weeks flashing away - fingers crossed your baby is ok and well, big hugs it must be a very scary time xx

Oh no Mommy - sending :pray: and positive thoughts your way.
Any way you could be wrong on dates?

I don't think that I am wrong on dates. I just don't know.

If that were the case, I would have gotten a BFP at 4 or 5 DPO. I don't think that is possible.

Oh no Mommy! I am Xing everything and [emoji120]🏻 that this little bean sticks!!
FWIW it is only 4 days off. DS2 in the beginning was measuring a week behind up to 18 weeks. Then he consistently started to measure a week ahead! I'm hoping this little bean is doing the same thing. He had me worried!
Hugs sweetie!!!

Oh mommy I hope you are ok. Sending big hugs and lots of positive thoughts! FWIW my eldest measured 2 weeks behind from 12 weeks right up to 36 weeks when he measured only 1 week behind. My dates were spot on, he was just small xxx

I'm not sure if you will want to read my story because it didn't end well but I was measuring further behind than you so your odds are better.
Anyway, at my 7wk scan the baby was measuring about 5w 3d and they couldn't detect the heartbeat but I don't think she looked that hard because she just assumed it was too early. I had a scan 10 days later and the baby had only grown 1 day more and had a very faint HB but I didn't get a bpm measurement. I miscarried about 4 days later :(
I also had little in the way of my usual pregnancy symptoms, my hcg wasn't going up very fast and also tiny amounts of spotting which was all different to previous pregnancies.
I really hope your outcome is different and everything is ok! I hope my story hasn't upset you.

Mommymachine I didn't see this yesterday, Im sorry you have this worry and I'm hoping and praying your little bean will be growing mightily by 9 days time :pray:
I would put your ovulation at a day later so only 3 days off in that case :agree:

You did not upset me, I am so grateful that you shared your story with me. I am desperate to know peoples stories. Hardly anyone on BabyCenter or yahoo came back to update their threads. I am so sorry for your loss:(

Thank you everyone. Does anyone know when I should expect to miscarry? Does the HCG have to get down to a certain point before it starts?

I'm really sorry mommymachine.
My levels were going up still before i had my second scan. I can't remember if they dropped in the last test as at that stage i had started lightly bleeding so knew the mc was going to begin soon (it was 2 days later)
I hope you aren't waiting too long. [emoji20]

So sorry, the blood test is not good. I had a great scan at 7 weeks and miscarried naturally 3 weeks later, so could be that long for u? Mine was a horrible experience, lots of blood and a bit like the first contractions of childbirth, all the best xx

Oh hun I'm sorry to read this. It's different for everyone and some people stay high in HCG even after it's over, others it drops first. Hugest hugs.
