My cycle was so off I was supposed to be 6almost 7weeks at my first scan but we saw nothing for 2 weeks. I was 2 weeks earlier than I thought. So I was 4weeks instead of 6/7. The drs don’t understand but my cycles have always been off. I am now almost 11weeks!
Sac and Yolk but no baby - 7 weeks
Just writing this to see if anyone else has had the same experience…
I went for a private scan at 7+3, they could see a sac and egg yolk but no baby or heartbeat so I was referred to the early pregnancy clinic in the NHS.
They saw me the day after my private scan and scanned me again… they saw exactly the same as the private scan.
They can’t tell me anything yet and have suggested another scan in 2 weeks to confirm if it’s a miscarriage or I’m earlier than I thought I was, however the dates do work out (I did ovulate on date 17) but they confirmed I should still be around 7 weeks and a baby and heartbeat should be there. It didn’t sound positive I know they have to tell me worse case and I’m accepting of that but a 2 week wait sounds torturous especially when I know deep down it’s bad news. Just want some comfort, some stories and just positive comments to perk me up. I’m accepting it is what it is and some things are not meant to be but I keep breaking down in tears and feel embarrassed.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you, and I hate to be negative but I found it helpful hearing both sides of the story when I was in this exact position.I went for a scan when I thought I was around 6+4. I measured 5+6 with a yolk sac and tiny fetal pole with no heartbeat. The EPAU (nhs) said i got my dates wrong, and it’s just too early. I was dubious as I tracked ovulation using OPKs. I went back a week later and unfortunately nothing had changed. It was diagnosed as a miscarriage. I took a few days to decide what to do and tried “expectant management” for 2 weeks, as per NICE guidelines. Nothing happened. I didn’t want the medication as I have a 2 year old and didn’t want him to see me in pain, so I went in for surgical management today. I’m sorry to share the other side, but as I said, it helped me to be prepared. I really really hope you have better news than I did.Sending love xx

I really hope you have a different outcome.
But if you don’t… they nurses at the EPAU are amazing and will guide you through everything, don’t worry.
Fingers crossed for you xx

Thank you for being so honest. I think I’m coming to terms with that it’s probably bad news just don’t know the next steps I guess xx
