Could this pregnancy be viable?

[katsky]

I had my second u/s today, and I am worried.  We did IVF and so we know when everything happened.  I should be 7 weeks, 1 day today, but we measured just 3.2 mm (they called this 5 weeks, 6 days),  So we are 9 days behind.  I know there is some room for error on the measurement and some possibility of late implantation, but is there any chance this pregnancy will be viable?  They could see the heart flutter, but weren't able to get a reading on its speed.  She basically said we had pretty normal results for 6 weeks but not for 7 weeks.  If it were a normal pregnancy, I think they would assume our timing was wrong and everything was fine.  But they know when conception happened and when the transfer happened, and they seem pretty worried.  While they said of course they would nevert recommend any kind of action while there was still a heartbeat, they gently brought up the possibility of an eventual D&C.  I am to go back in a week.  The first u/s was at 6 weeks, 2 days,  they could see the gestational sac and the yolk sac but couldn't see the embryo.  They weren't TOO worried then, but they are now.  Both ultrasounds were transvaginal.

My news is not good.  My little bean hadn't grown at all in the last week, and there was no longer a heartbeat.  Thanks for all your good wished tho.

Thanks for your comments - you guys are very nice!  I go for my 3rd u/s tomorrow.  I still haven't had any cramps or spotting and I do have fatigue, some nausea and I am a bottomless pit of hunger.  So I am hoping for the best, but I am still scared to death.  I will update tomorrow.

Try not to worry....progress is being made!!!  I have had a rough first 10 weeks myself...with not seeing anything at first, then just sac and yolk, then heartbeat without being able to get the bpm....but now all seems just fine!  A perinatologist gave me an u/s just 3 days ago and said seems to be a normal, good looking, growing, baby.  So....just hang in there, the changes that will take place in the next few weeks are dramatic and things will be better seen just a little bit further down the road.  Remember, your body hasn't ejected it, and it's making POSITIVE development cause you can see the heart flutter.  BEST TO YOU!!!!  ~Hugs~
