I'm around 8 weeks pregnant. I'm very sure of the dates because I've been monitoring my ovulation for a while, but also because my partner went abroad for work for 5 weeks after we conceived. Ovulated around the 28th of Jan, partner left on the 30th. Tested positive on the 9th of Feb. Went to the hospital for a checkup around week 5 because I was cramping a lot. Turned out I have fibroids and cysts to account for the pain.

Yesterday at my 8 week check, the nurse measured the embryo at 6 weeks. She said everything was developing normally, disregarding my questions about the dating. Embryo is at 5.3mm and heart beat at 160. Nurse said there had been good growth, but if the measurements are correct then the sac had only grown around 6mm in two weeks.

What is going on here? Am I right to be super concerned? My partner thinks I'm crazy and should focus on the strong heart beat.

Edited to add: Hi everyone. Just wanted to give an update. Went to get a private scan today which confirmed the bad feeling I've had. Heart beat no longer there and no further growth. Spoke to the early pregnancy unit of a different hospital after that and they told me to make a complaint with the hospital that scanned me on Monday. The tech lady should have known something was wrong. Just another reminder to keep faith in your own gut feeling. Good luck everyone and thanks for your input! ❤️
