Not coping, no fetal pole at 6 weeks
I'm 7 weeks tomorrow so very early days still but last weekend I had some light bleeding, wasn't much more than spotting but I panicked, we phoned our out of hours doctor straight away and he booked an early scan the Wednesday (7th March) after.
I had both external and internal US but the sonograpger couldn't find the fetal pole, the yolk sac was there and they said the gestational sac was less than 25mm. I would have been 6+3, they asked how sure I was on dates but I'm 100%, we've been TTC and used glow to log everything, even know what day I ovulated on. They told me not to panic and to keep on as normal but since then I feel like my sore boobs and nausea has gone, although the nausea wasnt that bad anyway. My partner thinks it's psychological because I'm not coping well at all, I cry constantly and just feel so overwhelmed by it.
We've got another scan booked in for 2 weeks time but the waiting is killing me. I have a deep instinct that this is not right and I need to know so I can either start grieving properly or allow myself to enjoy this. I can't look at any baby information, I'm ignoring the daily updates because it's just too hard and I so want to enjoy this.
Has anyone got any advice how you got through this?
