early pregnancy and scans don’t make sense!!!

I got scanned at 5 weeks (my app says I’m 5 weeks) and they could see a sac and faint heartbeat. At this time they’re saying the measurements were 5mm but today I’ve had a scan at 6 weeks and measurements are now 2.33mm. So I’m worried are the measurements off? Is something wrong? They say that a faint heartbeat might mean it will stop soon. I’m unsure. Anyone been in this situation? I keep googling accurate measurements but Google keeps telling me different things. I have a rescan next week Thursday but can’t keep thinking straight until then. Can anyone help please? Thank you

I had a scan at 5-6 weeks, and they couldn’t see much of a heartbeat, just a flicker. They also told me I wasn’t as far along as I had originally thought (I was exactly where I thought I was, confirmed at my 12 week) - I wouldn’t worry too much as you don’t want to stress yourself out x

Told me I couldn’t have been any more than 4 and a half, but I was actually 5+6!

@Rhi thank you so much for replying, they’ve told me to come in next week for a rescan but be ready for some bad news as that’s what it might be. they weren’t very reassuring so that’s what hurt more x

@Rhi I’m meant to be 6 weeks today but looking at the scan I might be 5 so unsure what’s going on but the wait until next week is already killing me x

Please don’t stress - I started panicking as they told me similar things, but I’m now 23 weeks! Hold onto hope, as scans aren’t as accurate at this early stage! Was it an abdominal scan or an internal? X

@Rhi I’ll try my best, thank you💖 & I’ve had internal ones so far and my next one is internal too x

Just continue to look after yourself and baby, and keep your stress levels low (easier said than done I know!) 🤍 my inbox is always open! X

@Rhi I did a home pregnancy test and it’s gone faint so I’m stressing more but thank you so much x

Just remember everything at that stage is soooo tiny that it’s very hard to measure and even 0.1mm error can make a massive difference to the dating etc they give x

@Yasmin thank you so much💖
