Have you had an early scan?

Has anyone had an early scan that turned out to show you were under 6 weeks? What did your scan show? I went into my scan thinking I was 6 weeks but it turned out I was 5+6 weeks and all they saw was a yolk sac. No heartbeat just yet. Has anyone had this? Was everything ok in your follow up scan?

I had this, I thought I was 6weeks+1 and they told me I was 5 weeks+1! No fetal pole or heartbeat detected. I went back a week later and and I was 6 weeks and baby had a heartbeat :) but I returned for another scan at 8 weeks and it turned out I was 9 weeks ! So the first scan wasn’t accurate and I was 6 weeks at the first scan, as I thought. Was the scan internal or abdominal??

I think this is the main reason they advise going closer to 7 weeks if not after because the heartbeat starts between 6 and 7 weeks. The progression of yolk sack to baby is really quick in these early weeks. This happens to a lot of people who go earlier and things are fine at next scan. Keep positive

@Macy so they said I was 5+6 weeks and it was internal. They mentioned that they checked around to see if there was any sign there was a loss but she couldn’t see any sort of bleeding or anything

@Lauren yes I think it was really early but my gp had referred me so it ended up being a little too early I think. I’m hoping for the best

Internal is usually quite accurate! Have you got a rescan?

@Macy I doing two weeks time. The anxiety of having to wait that long 🤦‍♀️

I can imagine! Hopefully all is ok 🤞🏻

i thought i was 6+3, turns out i was 5+5!! was yours an internal/transvaginal US? i could still see baby & a strong heartbeat though so i was happy :) everyone is different i think!
