Vaginal ultrasound at 6 wks and no heart beat

[coritabee]

I am 35 years old and found out I am pregnant only recently. I thought I was 5 weeks pregnant but everyone keeps telling me I am 6. I found 4 massive red spots last Friday that set me off in a panic. I called the hospital and they set up a vaginal ultrasound for today. In the meantime I rested and only had brown blood and very faint when I wiped (sorry TMI)
Had the appointment today and there was no heart beat but we did see the sac but no sign of baby as still very small or so the nurse said. I am scheduled for another scan in 2 weeks' time so hopefully all will be well. I had a miscarriage in 2002 so don't really want to go through the same thing. Fingers crossed!

Thank you all for your lovely messages. This is such an amazing community!

So we went for another vaginal scan yesterday. I still had a slight brown discharge which been going on for 2 weeks already.

So this time the nurse could see the foetal pole. We could see him/her :) So exciting! Which is a good thing since we didn't see anything last time. He measured at 4.9mm which is very small considering I am meant to be 8 weeks pregnant given the dates of my last cycle but that could be off. We reckon I might be 6 weeks pregnant and 4.9mm might make sense then. So I am scheduled in for another scan next week to see if there will be any growth. So another nail-biting week :) They didn't manage to get a heartbeat either this time.

Will keep you posted and thank you so much for all your messages of support and encouragement.

Hoping all the best for you and your little one .
I had a scan after finding out I was pregnant and was devastated when they said no heart beat and he couldn't really even see a sack (the guy was really mean) he was like nothing there good bye. and I was like what??? I mean we had been trying for 11yrs (well gave up after yr 3 when the fertility dr said it was 0% chance of  a baby ever happening) anyways I left crying my face off (I would have been 5-6wks) went back two weeks later and there is a little wee one with a heart beat .. I will keep you in my prayers.
