They did an Ultrasound, the same day, at 5.71 weeks actual (7.14 weeks LMP). 5 days later after no one would check on us, I went to the ER. Had been having cramping on both sides and starving every hour since conception and light spotting started. No doctor would take me because under 10 weeks pregnant. My Dr has now said I must wait until next week and if i haven't miscarried go for another scan!! I still have pregnancy symptoms but am now questioning myself as to whether they are fading or not - and it is making me go crazy! I just want to know either way!! I still don't really have any idea of how many weeks it is either so all in all feeling very frustrated! After reading lots of different blogs and posts etc I will now go to the next scan prepared with my long list of questions! I am okay with a miscarriage if that is what is to happen, I just want to know either way so I can get on with it and get pregnant again.įirst of all…. They could see the fetus on the scan but no heartbeat so i was told to go back to my Dr but probably wait for a miscarriage. I went to my Dr who did some blood tests to see if my hormone levels were rising and then sent me for a scan. I did a pregnancy test 2 weeks ago that said i was pregnant but i have heaps of spotting and hadn't missed a period yet so it was a bit confusing. Thanks so much XX2 for your feedback! These posts are really encouraging and comforting. Love and support goes out to every women in this situation. It was horrible to hear and I was still devasted but I had already begun to say goodbye and make peace with the situation.Īgain it's so hard because your mind, heart and body are all in conflict. When I went for the second scan it was confirmed that there was no growth or heartbeat. My body was telling me that I had miscarried as my pregnancy symptoms were fading. I think that the best piece of advice that I could give would be to listen to your body and decide what it is telling you and stick with it. Its the waiting and not knowing between the two scans which destroys and drains you. ![]() It kind of gave me the strength I needed to ignore the pregnancy symptoms because they were giving me false hope. I read lot's of boards saying don't give up, it's still too early and that may be right in some cases, but I found a nursing website that said anything above 4mm with no heartbeat is "ominous" and anything above 5mm is classified as a MMC. I was about 5-6 weeks and my scan measured CRL 5.5mm and there was no heart beat. I don't think that it is the amount of weeks that makes a difference about hearing a heart beat I think it's the CRL size. I read lots of these boards when I went through a very similiar situation and they were really helpful and (slightly addictive) so I thought I would share my experience. Its so tramatic and because it's so early in the pregnancy you may not have told anyone so its also isolating and you get the feeling that nobody understands why you're behaving so irratically. In the meantime, I wanted to share an overview of these findings so you can know what to expect at your follow-up visit.First of all my heart and understanding goes out to anyone who is going through this situation. So, what do these markers mean for your pregnancy? There is no general answer – each patient should discuss her results with her doctor. Still, 20% of pregnancies with both abnormal findings resulted in successful live births. A 2018 study found that in pregnancies with a combination of a low fetal heart rate and a small crown-to-rump length, the risk of miscarriage increases from 5% to 21%. However, certain abnormal readings are concerning, especially when seen together. For example, a smaller than expected crown-to-rump (head to bottom) number may mean your pregnancy is not as far along as you thought. Not every abnormal measurement means something is wrong. ![]() However, if nothing unusual is detected with all four of these markers, patients likely are not at increased risk. The average pregnancy has an approximate 5% risk of miscarriage. Patients often ask, "If everything looks OK at my first-trimester ultrasound, am I out of the woods for miscarriage risk?" Unfortunately, that is never truly the case until delivery. We also look at other features that may influence the outcome of the pregnancy, such as the presence of subchorionic hemorrhage or bleeding between the sac and the uterus. During this exam, we measure three items that tell us whether a fetus is developing as expected: This is especially true after the first trimester ultrasound. Words such as "abnormal" or "hemorrhage" can trigger concerns about increased risks of miscarriage. In the world of electronic medical records, patients sometimes get access to their pregnancy imaging results before they have a chance to visit with their doctor about the findings.
