Hello!

I have recently had my dating scan and the lady measuring said I was only measuring at 5.5 weeks – I had previously measured at this 1 and a half weeks ago. My hcg levels are still really high, got them back today. Doctor thinks could be quality of the sonographer and told me not to worry. They’ll repeat bloods in two days and a follow up scan in a week or so. I’m worried it is a missed miscarriage. Other than minimal brown discharge on and off over last few days, I haven’t had bleeding and have only had minor cramps which have been happening since finding out.

  • Unfortunatley it sounds like a missed miscarriage. Unfortunatley your bloods will go up before they go down. Im so sorry.


  • This happened to me. We lost purbsby at 10 weeks. I hope everything works out for you.


  • Ah how stressful! I guess you just have to wait and see what the doctor said, but rising BHcG is a great sign! Good luck :)


  • Hopefully you get answers soon, sometimes people are created so perfectly that God needs them way too soon, And the rest are the angels we’re allowed


  • I hope the doctor is able to give you reassuring news very soon.

  • Unfortunately the same happened to me in 2019 and it was a missed miscarriage. I measured 7w1d, then 5 days later still measuring 7w1d… they weren’t concerned as Bub had good heartbeat, but ultrasound at 10w showed no hb anymore
    Really hope for a better outcome for you, I remember how awfully stressful the waiting was
