My wife and I have trying to conceive for about 5 years, and recently it happened. Now I know for a fact that this conception happened on december 8 - december 13 depending on sperm lifespan. We only had sex once in the month of december, and her last period was november 24th.
By my calculation, that puts a conception date at the latest of 4 weeks and 6 days today.
We have had 4 endovaginal scans, and all of them have an empty gestational sac. My position is its too early to tell by scan, but the nurses at the hospital have already declared it a missed miscarriage. I think they are wrong, and heres why:
1. we originally had blood taken (i cant remember what date) and the hcg levels were around 4,600. They had risen 75.6% from the previous 48 hours.
2. She had blood taken on the 17th, and that was around 5,200 hcg. So they had not risen alot, but they HAD risen.
3. the Mean Sac diameter at our last scan was 8mm on the 16th, or around that, but our previous one was 7mm, 10 days before. So not alot of growth there, but it DID grow.
4. If i am correct at 4 weeks 6 days conception date, are we still too early to see anything? We have another scan on the 23rd.
I never give up, and while not perfect, to me the signs still show hope. I however, do not want to give my wife false hope, so im looking for advice on if im headed in the right direction hope wise, or im just not getting the message. Thank you.
