fetus measuring small?

[jnett]

I had an ultrasound last week which measured my baby at 6 weeks 6 days.  According to my last menstrual period, it should have been 8 weeks (so one week off).  I have longer menstrual cycles, so it could have been a later ovulation/conception...?  Has anyone else measured smaller than expected with good results?

I am so sad today because of what i was told in the Er during my u/s. My LMP was on the 4/22/12. I visited the gyn on 6/8 n he said he said he couldn't see my fetus good but he saw the sac,on the 6/13 he did some blood work that shows little signs n saw the fetus but didn't tell me the measurement now today i went to the Er than the tech told me my sac measures 8weeks but the fetus is about 6-7 w and she cannot hear the heart beats because it's too early but from what she's seeing, she think everything should be ok.my 1st Pn app is on the 7/9 but am so disturb and cannot sleep and wondering what could be the reasons of all these mix measurement now ?
I had 2 kids to full term and one 8 months birth but they all were normal in all their sono but this 4th p is so peaceful, no morning sickness or any big changes except swallowing of the breasts and body gain.
Can somebody please shares their experience with me ? I really need to know please.

Hey, i hope im not bothering anyone but im going through a similar problem and i dont know what i should do. Im 7 weeks 6 days pregnant i went to the E.R last night, because i was cramping, and kinda spotting. Well the doctor took my hormone levels and gave me an ultrasound, he said there was no heartbeat and that looks like my baby stopped growing at 6 weeks 0 days. i go back for some more testing to take and im spotting and cramping just like a period. Is there a chance the baby is still alive? or does it sound like a miscarriage; ive come to accept the situation but i would just like to hear someone elses opinion and if its been a success story for someone else; this is my first pregnant;


- thanks for listening- Journ

I had my first u/s on 2/23/2012 at what was supposed to be 7w3d and the fetus measured 6w5d with a HB of 110 during a transadominal scan. I went back the next day and had both a trans vaginal and adominal scan and noticed that the fetus measured bigger on the TV scan. I was annoyed that the doctor didn't do that TV scan first. I am concerned that the measurements are behind but hope that the HB of 120 (on 2/24) continues to get stronger and that the fetus continues to grow. I have another u/s with a high risk OB on Monday, 2/27. I'm cautiously optimistic at this point.

Misha, best of luck to you.  I did IVF once (4 embryos) and none made it as far as an ultrasound.  We had been considering going the donor egg route and after that, went for it.  We succeeded, and have the most amazing child now.  There is still hope.

in answer to my own question. the doctors were right. i went for follow up scan today, there was no heartbeat and fetus has shrunk. i guess mother nature was just saving us from have a little sick one. now to decide if we will let mother nature finish the job or do i have a d n c? hard choice... and  im scared about both options! too sad but i guess atleast we can try again! good luck to everyone! hope you all have more  positive results!
