Hello everybody!
I have had a UID for the last 5 years and decided when Zi was due for replacement that I would like to have a last shot at having another baby. I have two sons, 14 & 11 and am 41. Yes, I know I'm getting on a bit but this was my last shot. I had the IUD removed in June and had what I though was my first period in just under 5 years beginning around 2nd July 2012. On 30th July I thought I'd take a gamble and took a pregancy test and to my great surprise I came back positive!! I had some light spotting in August but this subsided very quickly so I wasn't overly concerned. However, in the last few days I have had some brown discharge when wiping that turned to light bleeding gradually and on two occasions there were a couple of small clots. I was referred to my local early pregnancy unit and I went for a scan yesterday. The ultrasound picked up a sack but they couldn't see a heartbeat. By my calculations, based on LMP I should be about 8 and a half weeks pregnant. After the scanning nurse did a vaginal ultrasound and took measurenent, she said it wasn't looking good today and the embryo only measured 6 week with a 4mm fetal pole. It was looking as though it has stopped developing as there was no heartbeat. I have been booked in for another scan next Friday and the nurse that spoke to me afterwards said it was 50/50 as they take 2 weeks off my dates straight away. I am obviously going through every emotion under thesin and Friday seems a life age away but I am really confused about the dates . When they say the baby measures 6 weeks, is that 6 weeks from LMP or from conception? I got my first positive pregnancy test result on 30/07 which is almost 5 weeks ago. As I only had one period before discovering I was pregnant, I am not sure how long my cycle length is and when I would therefore have ovulated. Is the chance this is OK really 50/50 or is this just lip service? The note that the nurse has given me for my doctor says suspected failed pregnancy but scanning again in 6 days out of procedure. I have my first appointment with the midwife scheduled in for tomorrow that was booked before all this happened and thinking of going anyway in case she is able to give me straight answers. Sorry for the massive rant but I haven't really anyone else I can tell at this stage and only my husband knows ! :'(
