Pregnant after a Loss

Measuring 2 weeks behind

I had a miscarriage in August, had one normal period, and then got pregnant again! According to my last period I should be 8 weeks 5 days but my sono measured at 6 weeks 5 days. The heartbeat was 110, which is low. My doctor says we will monitor but she's seen this before and everything has turned out fine. She said I could be behind from my ovulation being late or from my miscarriage throwing things off. There's never a clear answer. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm really trying not to stress out!

  • If you didn't track ovulation by temping then there is no way to say what gestation you should be. You probably ovulated later, as most women do not ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. The HB looks great for that gestation, anything above 100 is what they are looking for in week 6.

  • I had a similar situation that didn't end well. But, I have a friend who was off by a number of days from the ultrasound and all was fine. A previous loss can absolutely throw off your cycle and could be the reason the dates don't match up. Best of luck to you!
  • Hi, OP, and congrats on your pregnancy. I would be worried if I was you as well. Two weeks is kind of a lot for being so early; however like PP said you could be a week off and the ultrasound has an error of 1 week so those two combined could put you that far off.

    That is a great heartbeat and sounds like you had a good ultrasound. I wish I had a better answer for you besides time will tell. The waiting is the worst. It doesn't matter what any of our experiences are, bad or good, because this is your baby and your pregnancy. T&P that everything turns out healthy. Hugs to you.

  • No experience, but FX that everything turns out fine!
  • Thank you for all the support. I'm praying everything is ok and trusting in the Lord. I go back on Tuesday and hopefully we see a full weeks growth! I didn't do ovulation tests or track my temperature but I know exactly when the first day of my last period was. That's what I'm measuring off of. Even if I did ovulate late, 2 weeks behind is a lot.
  • I'm in the same situation. I thought I had ovulated late so when the dr wanted me to have a dating scan at what should have been 7 weeks we could only see an empty sac. I went back for another dating scan yesterday and baby has grown by exactly 2 weeks. It turned out I was right and had just ovulated 2 weeks late because my body is still out of whack from my miscarriage in March. Everything right now looks good, so don't stress too much because it can happen and baby end up healthy
