I was so excited, I really felt this was the one. I went in for an early scan at what I thought was 7+1 (I tracked ovulation and used BBT so I know my dates) and I was measuring only 6+4 and the radiologist said he couldn’t see a fetal pole, but it could just be too early plus it was abdominal. He asked me to come back in two weeks, we had a holiday booked last week so at least it kept me distracted, I’ve had no bad signs, a little bit of spotting the day after my ultrasound but he did see a small SCH so I didn’t stress too much. Anyway, my husband has been swamped at work so we landed up going to a small hospital just down the road for the follow up, they have a small portable machine and I should be 9+1 and he was having so much trouble seeing the sac. He tried to look for a heartbeat but there was nothing. He couldn’t even make out where the fetus was. I’m so heartbroken. I’m trying to go see the radiologist I went to the other week just to confirm but I know there’s no hope. Last year I had a MMC at 9 weeks and found out a week later. Why me. Why was this one so much earlier and why have been no signs. At least with the last one I had ‘coffee ground’ type spotting so I thought it might be over. Anyway, thanks for reading this far.

This was my ultrasound from ‘7’ weeks:
