Early scans

Hi everyone! I had an early reassurance scan due to spotting and I am 5 weeks 6 days roughly (first time ivf baby mummy to be so working out timings is so hard) and they sonographer said they were happy as they could see the sac and the yolk so for 5 weeks is what they expected. After I spoke to the nurse after the scan they handed me a leaflet about “uncertain viability” and said it’s common for women who come in this early for scans as it’s too early to see baby as baby is too small at 5 weeks so cannot confirm viability. This has sent me spiralling and panicking but I’m rebooked in for a scan in 2 weeks time however I’ve booked another private scan for next weekend as cannot wait that long to know.

Has anyone had something similar when scanned at 5 weeks?

Heyy! I had exactly this and of course spiralled, my first scan was at 5 weeks due to pain on my side they could only see the sac and wrote on my scan notes uncertain viability of course because it’s too early, invited me back 1 week later and they could see everything they needed to, baby may be too small but is very common, sending love ❤️

Yes! I went for a private confirmation scan at what I thought was 6 weeks however it turned out I was just 5 weeks and the midwife couldn’t confirm 100% whether there was a yolk sac, I went back after 2 days for a rescan the growth was amazing and confirmed the pregnancy. I would try not to worry, did you manage to see any glimpse of anything? On my first scan you could just about see the yolk forming but it very very faint and after 2 days it was fully visible. I’ll attach some photos of my scans. Keeping my fingers crossed for you , you should be able to see something by next week if you are indeed how far you think you are. I was off by a week, must have had delayed ovulation xx

Baby Girl Name 🙈

We’re on the fence about two names and one is from my favourite book but I’ve loved the name Freya since I can remember, Feyre is such a cute whimsical name but I also know everyone will say it wrong or ask about the book 🙈 can’t stop loving it though! 🩷 help please!

Trigger warning picture of blood🤣 is this normal after getting the coil out on Tuesday?

TTC. So I had sex 3 days before a coil removal .. and the night before coil removal. And now I’m bleeding like this. Is this normal. Is this a period ? Or just from getting it out

30 weeks pregnant with DIDI twins growth scan

Hope everyone is doing well on here.
I had my growth scan yesterday, and originally, the twins were estimated at 28 weeks and were weighing around the same (2.9ilbs/2.6ibs) but the consultant just wanted to double check on my upper twin as they were measuring a little bit smaller than the lower twin.

So today, everything went well. I enjoyed seeing them cuddled up, and both were breached position.

They're now at 3.14 lbs, so I'm overall carrying like 6 pounds and 4.5 ounces altogether (help) 😅🤣

But I'm curious how much dud your guys' babies are all weighing at the moment or at 30 weeks.
Let me know, and I hope everyone is doing ok 🩷🥰
