Early Scan Disappointment?

I went for an early scan today, according to the date of my last period I should be 7 weeks + 2.
However at todays scan there wasn’t much to see but the yolk sac and was advised I’m measuring more like 6 weeks so will be going back in 8 days time. Has anyone else had this?! 🫣
The only symptoms I’ve really got is fatigue and slight nausea…

You could have ovulated later and would therefore be a week or so behind

Yes, according to my last period I should be over 10 weeks but am actually 8+3, I just ovulated about 17 days later than average. Was similar with my first too.

Yes, when i went for a scan I was supposed to be 9 weeks 6 days, ended up being 6 weeks 6 days only

I had this. I thought I was 7w 5 days but the scan shown just the gestational sack. They think I'm 4 weeks. Which would put conception at the right time for me. Going back in 2 weeks.

it’s just the not knowing and being desperate just to see that little heartbeat. Here’s hoping time flies until both of our next scans 🤞🏼👶🏼

I had this!! I was terrified but I went back two weeks ago and saw a little baby and a little heart beat!

@Jess I'm terrified it could be a blighted ovum. How did you get through the wait time for the re scan? How far did you think you were? According to dates I would of conceived about 4 weeks ago so the timing looks pretty spot on for it. So fingers are crossed

oh amazing!! I’m hoping for the same, the did say everything else seemed normal like my ovaries and no free fluid etc so another week or so and hopefully heartbeat can be seen 🤞🏼👶🏼

@Katie and Incognito, ok so I thought I was nearly 7 weeks and I went to my scan and she said she could see fluid and my ovarie was swollen so she thought it was ectopic and she asked me to go back a week later so I did and there was just a sac and nothing else and then got me back two weeks after and there was a baby and a heartbeat the thing that got me through waiting was how sick I was to be honest I just knew it was a good sign my boobs hurt and I was so nauseated! But I’m even worried now because I’ve had a bit of pain and this was three weeks ago! The whole pregnancy experience Is just so anxiety inducing isn’t it! But I hope everything’s perfect for you twos babies! So basically as well I had long period cycles so even tho my first day of my last period was Boxing Day I’m only 9 weeks now because they said I implanted late so I was a couple weeks behind because my period cycle was 34 days not the usual 28 days

Hope that makes sense because I’ve just waffled on x

Also when I was 7 weeks I saw what you saw on your scan pic above and panicked so much but everything was ok the week after x

@Jess thank you 😊 it so anxiety inducing, no one talks about the anxiety and feelings like your losing your mind 🤣 I still have a strong sense of smell & have been gagging a lot 🤣 its so hard when you don't have the perfect 28 day cycle & have a longer or shorter cycle.

Avatar

thank you! It’s so crazy literally nothing you can do except feel anxious just waiting 🤣
I’m the same, I’ve got such bad fatigue and feel really nauseous at most foods (mainly any hot food or too spiced, I just need cold and plain 🤣)
I must’ve just ovulated later than my app thought I would’ve for the week difference in dates 🤯

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow
