confused???

[maria5056]

i went to the doctors 2 weeks ago and they said that i was 5weeks 3 days pregnant. i went in today and they told me i was only 5weeks 6days pregnant and they found a 2nd possible baby. they told me that 95% chance i will have a miscarriage. i dont know what to think. could they be wrong???? my last menstral period was on march 7 so i should be  about 7 weeks. they want me to go back in a month. i dont know what i should do any help or advice???

its possible that they dated it wrong. i have been told by a qualified sonographer that at 5 weeks it's impossible to date accurately. Its not until the baby is bigger that they can measure it accurately which is why you dont have a dating scan until 12 weeks. I hope so much that your okay and its good news.

thanks for the advice!!! i think that its also crazy to wait a month. the nurse is suppose to call me tomorrow so i can hopefully take the hormone test. i also requested another ultrasound in 2wks or sooner. will c what they say or else am gona go somewhere else. they also told me that i i have two gestional sacs that are seprate from each other and that i have a heart shape uterus. crazy cuz i might have twins??? and its funny how with my first pregnancy they didnt mention the heart shape. u know anything about that???

One last thing. We all my u/s they did the trans vaginal. Today they tried the abdominal they could not see anything. So, they try the trans vaginal way and saw the little one right away. Dont give up hope, have faith.

Don't wait. My doctor had me going crazy thinking I was going through a miscarriage. My last period was March 5, I find out I was pregnant on 4/09. I had an u/s done on the 17th of April all they saw was the gestional sac, then on the 22nd they saw the yolk sac but no fetal pole or heartbeat. My doctor said because I am 6 weeks already there should be a fetal pole and a heartbeat. He did check my hormone levels on the 17th and 22th and it kept increasing. He said he was 80-90% sure I had a miscarriage or a blighted ovum. Today I had my 3rd u/s showing the fetal pole with a good heartbeat, they said I am 6 weeks and 3 days, meaning I was 5 last week. Sometime you have to be a pain in the ***. Do not let them have you wait a month. If something not right they need to check every week at less. I will pray for you. Keep us posted.

thanks! i had a trans vaginal ultrasound. they didn't test the hormone levels ??? but i called them and requested it to be done. they dated my preganacy by my first ultrasound and last mens. period.  i guess i just wait for now

It could be possible they miscalculated something. I'm sorry you have to go through this! And I agree...a month is such a long time..They should at least want to see you back in a week, 2 weeks at the latest. That way they can see if the baby has made any more progress. Please keep us posted! I wish you all the best.

A couple of questions- Did they date your pregnancy by ultrasound or by hormone levels? If by ultrasound was it abdominal or trans vaginal? If they havent done a check on your hormone levels then ask them to as it will give an idea of whether the pregnancy is developing (they'll need to take two sets of bloods 48hrs apart and the beta hcg level should have doubled although I believe a rise of 66% or more is acceptable). The reason i ask about scans is because at such an early stage of pregnancy abdominal scan can be less accurate.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. Regardless of how far along you were two weeks ago, the embryo should be measuring two weeks larger in a two week span. It doesn't sound very promising but I for one believe in miracles and holding onto your faith no matter what. Please try to stay positive and know that there are many women on here willing to offer support should you get an undesired outcome. Good luck.

PS
A month is a very long time to wait for a follow-up. Any clue why they're asking you to wait that long?
