I am pregnent for the first time. 28 years ,always had my period regularly.
First day of my last period was june 24
So , i should be about 9 weeks pregnent
However when i went to the doc and did an ultrasound , there was no heartbeat.
Also , my baby just measured 4.6 mm and estimated period was 6 weeks.
I am fearing the worst.
I havent experinced bleeding or painful cramping .
I am scheduled for ultrasound on 6th sept .
Is there any chance that my baby could be normal?Or is it all over ?
Appreciate your earliest reply. thanks
My first pregnancy ended that way. Mine was a blighted ovum. I found out at 12 week ultrasound when I had an empty sac measuring 7.5 weeks... I had no bleeding or cramping to warn me either..
The positive sign is that there is a fetal pole so if it is viable by your next ultrasound, there should be an heartbeat.
They generally do 48 hour HCG tests with this. Where they test your blood for the HCG hormone level twice over a 48 hour period. THe expectation is that there would be a rise in the hormone over the 48 hours. They generally want to see it double over the 48 hours but depending on how high the initial number is it can take up to 96 hours to actually double...
At this point, both scenarios are a possibility but having a fetal pole is a positive sign and I would not say its all over yet..
I hope your next ultrasound shows a beautiful heartbeat! Good luck
