Scan date week behind anyone had this baby caught up by 12 weeks

[TTC no2]

Hi girls. I had early scan today. Its put me a week behind my dates. I know of my dates cos I've been tracking ovulation.
I should be about 7weeks 1-2days but I've been measured 6weeks +1 day.
Seen heartbeat. Anyone went through this. Like to hear the good and bad please

Hiya! Hope you are doing well.
Yes, I wouldn’t worry about a week. Both my successful pregnancies have been put back a week from what I though my dates were. If it was more than that I’d be more concerned.
Hope it all goes well. When is your next scan? X

 

[TTC no2]

Hi Ttc I’ve not had this personally, with my miscarriages I was measuring about 2 weeks behind but I googled like crazy at the time and read so many successful stories with people measuring a week behind their dates, fingers crossed for you xx

I'm holding onto hope that I've seen heartbeat.

Hi TTC,

I’ll tell you about the start of my pregnancy and hopefully it helps you feel a bit reassured.

We previously had IVF and this baby was conceived on a one time occasion - we always used protection despite our previous struggles, so I knew the date we conceived.

I had a bleed and early pregnancy scanned me. I thought I was 8+5 but she measured me as 7+5. She said dates can be out but it stressed me no end. I can totally understand I maybe ovulated a couple of days after we’d DTD, maybe implanted a couple of days later. But a week didn't seem right. It would mean I’d got a positive pregnancy test earlier than humanly possible. They offered me another scan for two weeks later as I was so worried (ended up having a second episode of bleeding too) and that scan, although baby had clearly grown and was super happy, she put me back 9 DAYS! I cried my eyes. To me that just wasn’t right at all. She wouldn’t recheck measurements as she kept saying baby looked healthy and that’s all she was concerned about. I was ill with worry for weeks. When I went for my 12 week scan she checked multiple times and dated me 5 days behind. This I could accept easier, and I could see how well baby had grown. But those early days and the worry of the scans had me so ill. I thought they’d reassure me but I felt nothing but worry.

Anyway, my point is it all worked out fine in the end. Im 21 weeks now and baby is perfect! I’m sure you’ll be similar to me and possibly ovulated a day or two later than you thought and implanted slightly later. Or even better, your dates will have caught up by 12 weeks! When I seen my midwife for my booking appointment at 9/10 weeks she said before 12 weeks it’s so difficult to get any head to rump measurements for dating so always take them with a pinch of salt. It’s brilliant you’ve seen the heartbeat I hope you’re okay xxx

Thank you so much for ur reply. Fantastic that ur little baby is doing well.
i can totally understand the worry, all I've been doing is looking for other people's outcomes on lots of pregnancy forums.
I'm trying so hard to be positive. Need to step back from searching anymore I think. It just doing me no good.. I just wish the 2 weeks were up so I knew what was happening.

It’s a tough old wait. Take relief that you have seen a heartbeat. Hope everything works out. X

That’s exactly what I done. It just made my worry worse as for every good outcome I read, I read a bad one right after. I knew the one and only day we’d had unprotected sex so I couldn’t think it would be any other time to justify such a discrepancy. Obviously it ended up working out well but I couldn’t convince myself of that at the time!

I really hope you’ve managed to get through this worry okay and I’m wishing you and little baby so much luck for tomorrow xxx

Wasnt good news for me I'm afraid. Baby has no heartbeat and only measured 6+5. I'm devastated but I knew there was the chance it was going to happen. Go back next week for scan and go from there
