I had a scan around the same time, they did measure me but didnt say if it was within a certain number of weeks. I then had a scan a week later, as my 5 week one they couldnt see the egg yolk / foetal pole. A week later I had them, and a small heartbeat. When I went for my 12 week scan I was behind 8/9 days. I think it all depends on when precisely you ovulated and how long it took to implant both of which are so difficult to tell. But I am currently 23 weeks and everything is going well so far x
If I go by date of ovulation I’m 5 weeks which makes sense to me, but she could see a sack, yolk and the start of a fetal pole forming so I guess it’s just luck now, I’m trying not to stress myself out
Was it internal? I had a scan at 6w4d internally and they measured me at 5w5d. But I could tell the sonographer wasn’t used to internal, he could barely get the probe in. Then I had a 7 week scan at my clinic a week later and I was bang on 7w3d as I should be. I would say at this early stage the scan has to be so precise and it’s really tricky. Have you got another one booked in? I’m sure it’ll all be ok ❤️
Yeah it was internal, she did say my uterus tilts back so I guess that’s doesn’t help, yeah I need to go back in 2 weeks which seems forever, this was a nhs scan too x
It’s so hard waiting. They found a bleed on my scan at 7 weeks and that’s how I lost my last baby at 18 weeks. I’ve now got to wait 2 weeks for another scan to assess how the bleed is, which feels like a lifetime! Really hoping everything is ok for you x
@Rachel hopefully everything goes okay for you, I’m telling myself everything is going to be okay and not to stress x
This was what I had to do too, if its developing theres a much higher chance of everything being okay. Everyone develops a bit differently at the start and even if you know your ovulation date it doesn’t necessarily mean thats when conception happened especially if you were trying for a baby. I hope the scan in 2 weeks all goes well ❤️
@Hannah thank you so much, definitely something that’s eased my anxiety, just so heartbreaking thinking I’m going backwards x
With my first I went for my 12 week scan and based on my LMP I was meant to be 12+4 but she measured at 12 weeks exactly and she’s now a healthy happy 10 month old
Thank you all for the lovely comments but unfortunately went for my rescan today and there was no fetal pole only the sack grew 💔
So so sorry to hear this. Sending you so much love x
Sorry to hear that and fingers crossed you just ovulated later and you’ll have a successful pregnancy. I know the anxiety after 2 x MMC last year. Have a scan tomorrow and dreading it
