Feeling a bit fed up! My diabetes midwife booked me a scan, which I had last Wednesday making me 6w3d. Sonographer had to do internal scan. It was hard to get information from her and said I needed to have a scan in 2weeks. On the report she gave me it said diagnosis possible gestation sac and some measurements. I've done another pregnancy test and still very dark test line. Feeling kinda lost now and it's going to be a long wait til next Wednesday!! Did anyone else experience this? xx

Yes i did, i had a scan at 6 weeks, it was internal too but before even starting the sonographer kept saying that it was really hard at that early stage to find a heartbeat so don't panic if she had to tell me she couldn't see one. she said, although she would see the early signs of pregnancy she wouldn't be able to tell me if everything was ok and i would have to wait for another scan a few weeks later. Try not to worry, i will keep my fingers crossed for you. When i went back for my second scan a few weeks later everything was fine and my daughter is now 2 and a half and a menace of a toddler!
 
thank u Fig! It's been driving me crazy and mr google isn't always the most reassuring! The sonographer I had seemed so uninterested and when I tried asking her questions she just laughed at me so felt really confused. I feel a lot more relaxed now and I do have mild symptoms, breasts mainly and today feel like I could eat a horse! Last week been really thirsty but levels haven't been high so guessing it's relating to hormones!

Thank you again xx

The same happened with me I had a really irregular cycle so I should have been about 11 week but there was literally nothing there. They were saying I'd either miscarried or ectopic pregnancy, a week later a sac could be seen but that was it but this rules out ectopic, they did bloods which the levels were rising so went back a week later when a heartbeat could finally be seen. It's just so early at this stage try not to worry like fig I now have a healthy 4 and a half year old after all the early scans making me question whether I was having a phantom pregnancy!! Good luck xx
 
Wow you went through quite a time there k8tie_x how did you keep yourself sane through all that? I've only got a week to wait for my second scan and I'll be 8w3d then so will hopefully know what's going on! Kiddies give us the run around even before their born! Hope your current pregnancy carries on well Hun xx

I was just a constant emotional wreck with the not knowing but luckily I worked alot of hours which kept me occupied lol hope your handling it ok! I'm just sat in the hospital now waiting for a growth scan and to see my consultant to see whether ill be able to go to 38 weeks feeling excited/nervous I hope babies behaving today lol xx
 
Awww bless you! How did your apptment go? Everything ok?

I can just imagine, it must have been horrible for you, not knowing what to think! I'm doing better today end of last week I'd almost convinced myself there was no baby but given myself a kick and got a few more subtle symptoms. My mum had a lot of MCs so that's on my mind a lot but I'm more positive now! This time next week we'll be sat waiting for second scan!

Hope your doing ok xx

Hey Katie,
Both mine were 6wks early & were kept in the neonatal ward. I know what you're going tgrough. It broke my heart to be away from them. I hated having to go home at night, I don't think I've ever been so keen to get up at 6am. The good news is that he's in good hands & will be home soon.
Ye will both be in my thoughts & prayers xoxox
