Had scan today...
Hi ladies
Thanks for all your positive wishes.
Mixed emotions really after our scan. We saw a pregnancy which is in the right place. It is measuring 5 weeks only and obviously has no heartbeat at this stage. The doctor was saying it all looked good, no obvious reason for the bleeding I've been having.
Whilst this is all great to them, I know I am 6+1 from my dates as we used OPKs. So I explained to them that I think the pregnancy stopped progressing last week and could they do a blood test to confirm that, to which she refused. Asf ar as she is concerned, the pregnancy looks ok, is at 5 weeks and I'll be having another scan next week to see if there has been any progress or not. Whilst she cannot say if the pregnancy is viable at this stage, she cannot dismiss it yet either.
So....back to limbo land and waiting....again! I know it's great news in that it wasn't a definite no-no (which is what DH and I were expecting tbh) but another agonising week ahead.
I do feel reassured that there was nothing to explain the bleeding, as one of my biggest fears was starting to mc by myself and I am trying really hard to be positive, but now the inaccuracies in dates between us have got me panicing
Anyway, I'm signed off work again next week, so I'll be making the most of popping on here to distract myself. Hope you're all well and thank you all for your kind messages xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just thought I would give you some hope.
With my first son I concieved after 4years of trying and like you I strated bleeding and was rushed to a&e. By my opk,bbt etc I should hasve been 7weeks but the scanonly put me at 5weeks and I had to wait 2 weeks to see if it progressed. I continued to bleed on and off but all was well and I now have Alfie. They said the bleeding was from where I ovulated and the little pocket had burst causinbg a pool of blood(i had cramps and pain as well) After 3delayed mc I got pg again and when I went for an early scan they again put me 2 weeks behind even though i knew exactly when as i was on clomid (pcos) Oskar came 2weeks early weighing 8lb12oz in December.
So i dont really have that much confidence in their measuring at times as people say it is only mm difference and your bean could be at an angle or hiding.
Don''t give up hope unless you have to
Good luck to you and to everyone ttc hopefully joining you when my af returns after bf! Whenever that may be possibly months yet.
Scan on Thursday afternoon so will keep you updated with any news. Thanks for all your concern. It has helped me to get through these agonising couple of weeks.
Hope you're all well xxxxxxxxxx
i had 3 early scans due to bleeding and I was 100% of my dates. I measured at least a week behind on every single one. It was only when I had my dating scan that measurements finally caught up with my dates. when bean is so young & small a point one of a millimeter makes all the difference to how they date you. My fingers are tightly & optimistically (sp??) crossed for you hun.
