No heartbeat @ week 8

Hi mummies! Need help here! Currently 8 weeks pregnant now. My last scan was 5 days ago at o&g emergency cos I had light bleeding suddenly but no fetal pole during that time, doc can only see yolk sac. Went for scan yesterday again and finally fetal pole appeared but no heartbeat. Doc said fetal growth slow cos it shows only 5.7 weeks. Had anyone experiencing this before and had a successful pregnancy? I’m very worried now. The 2 weeks wait was so torturous #firsttimemom #advicepls #ivf #IVFbaby

Are you 8 weeks based on LMP? Or based on the sac size? If your sac size shows 5+ weeks, it might be too early to detect a heartbeat. LMP is just a rough estimation and actual gestational age could be different.

How did it go for you? I’m in this same situation now. At 6 weeks with only yolk sac and light bleeding. The doctor didn’t sound optimistic but she recommended for me to go for another scan next week.
