So I have been spotting and i am supposed to be 7 weeks by my LMP. I previously had two HCG tests and they looked good (doubling). Now I went for the US and she said, it's possible that I am not 7 weeks, but more like 51/2, 6 weeks, or that I don't have a viable pregnancy, since it doesn't look like a 7 week embryo. I went for more bloodwork, I have to have a repeat on Friday and then another US on Monday maybe? Not clear on that. Sigh. I see below that this happened to someone else. I guess that would make some sense regarding the spotting, which is supposed to occur at 5 weeks, but I am so sure about the dates. I can't take the wait and see time span!!
Any encouragement or should i just prepare for the worst?

I would still be optomistic if I was you. Slight spotting isn't too much to be worried about. I would watch though in case bleading is heavier.
Did you hear a heart beat?
Anyway, just be patient and relax as best you can. Good luck!
Don't give up hope!!! I'm 8w4d by LMP, 7w4d by ovulation date and our u/s shows baby at 6w4d...the doctor saw a hb (finally! our 3rd u/s) and says everything looks great and not to worry too much...we have another u/s in 2 weeks to make sure our babies still growing and healthy!
Stay positive...some babies grow slower than others and you could have O'ed/implanted late.
I went thru the exact same thing at your exact same dates! I just O'd late and here i am 12 weeks pregnant. Please do not worry, just try to relax and take it easy! Chances are that you are only 5 weeks like i was and you will see somthing later. Your numbers were doubling so that is great!
Good luck to you and please try not to worry!
I really don't have any sort of solid knowledge about this so I can't give you any advice but I say this "It ain't over till it's over"!
Do not give up hope.
Spotting is totally normal and you could very well have mixed up your dates.
Take care and try not to worry too much.
I had an u/s at 8 weeks and they could barely see anything at all...ended up being the wrong dates.
You never know. Try to stay positive.
I'm sorry about your visit but the only thing you can do now (and this is so much easier said than done) is to stay positive.
I'm crossing my fingers for you for your next U/S. There seems to be plenty of people who have gone through an U/S like that, as posted above, so you're in no way alone! Hugs!
