Bad early scan - can anyone give me advice?
Hi girls,
I was wondering whether this had happened to anyone else and what the outcome was.
I went to the Early Pregnancy unit at my local hosp today. I thought I was 5+6 and saw my GP or the first time last night. I had a little brown spotting about a week ago around the time my period was due and she was being cautious and referred me for an early scan.
Anyway when they scanned me they could barely see anything. She found a dot which measured the same as four weeks but nothing else and they said either my dates were wrong or it had stopped growing. they took some bloods and called me two hours later saying my hormones were looking ok and consistent with four weeks. I have to go back Tuesday for another scan and more bloods to check my levels are going up and she is hoping to see the sack properly.
I can't be four as we'd stopped bding by then but I could be just under five and she said it was only rough. The midwife told me it was looking positive, but obviously I'm expecting, and preparing myself, for the worst. Its very very sad as it took us 14 months to concieve.
I was just wondering whether anyone had has a similar experience, whatever the outcome.
Thanks guys

I'm surprised you were referred for an early scan many women have brown spotting around AF including myself and my doc said totally normal and probab just implanation. If you HGC levels were fine then probably just way too early days to measure accurately, try not to worry and take care, Inka xx

Just wanted to put your mind at ease. I had a bit of spotting when I was 5weeks 3days pregnant, I was sent for an early scan at 6weeks as they said any earlier you would not be able to see anything. Anyway I had an internal scan to and was told they couldn't find a heartbeat and they could see the sac and a blob but nothing else. we were told to prepare for the worst and send away to come back 10days after. We were terrified at this point but tried hard not to worry, i felt quite relieved as the spotting stopped althou after internal it started again and lasted 4days although was no worst then before. Anyway we went back for next scan and they find heartbeat and that everything was growing as normal. I am now 12weeks on monday and things are looking positive althou I still had a bit of spotting every fews days the midwife said as long as its no different from before not to worry. So try not to worry I dont think people are made aware how common spotting is in early pregnancy.
Hope this helps and ill keep my fingers crossed for you.
they still sent me for an internal scan because i had no idea when i'd fallen pregnant as i didn't have a period from coming off the pill, my last period was in july when i was still on the pill so it was during my 7 day break and not a true period. anyway , had the scan and all they saw was a dot and said i was 4-5 weeks and to come back in 2 weeks for another one, went back and they could see a heartbeat but put me at 6+4 so i was only 4+4 at the first scan far too early to see anything really which means i'd concieved within a few days of stopping the pill and i'd shown positive at 3+3... amazing ! fingers crossed for you , let us know how tuesday goes xx
