FU to Scared and a Little Hurt

I had my u/s and it isn't the best news.
I'm 8 weeks pregnant but the baby is measuring 6 weeks. The heartbeat is only 91. The doctor and the ultrasound tech were trying to tell me that my dates are wrong, but I've been charting for 2.5 years and they aren't wrong. Besides if I had ovulated 2 weeks late I could not have gotten a BFP at 12 DPO-according to their logic I would not have even ovulated yet.
However, unless I have severe cramping or heavy bleeding I have to wait until my next appointment on November 18 to check progress. I do not know how I am going to get through the next two weeks not knowing...except I know. It is sooo hard to be optimistic.

Re: FU to Scared and a Little Hurt
aww i'm sorry.
Really I would have rather known early...I didn't know till week 12 of last pregnancy that I was sizing 8 weeks w/no heartbeat. I thought about those 4 weeks and how happy I was, and that made me feel worse.
I'll pray for you!! I go in for my 8-week U/S tomorrow, and I'm afraid of similar results.
::hugs::

big hugs girl, i have been there twice before.
i will be keeping you and your LO in my thoughts and prayers.
i am so sorry you have to go through this. and i'm also sorry you have to wait two weeks! i can't believe your doc is being so casual about it. is there any way you can get your u/s moved up? at least you'll get answers sooner.
i'm thinking of you hon. praying for the best.
This does suck. I hope things work out. We found out pretty early last time that there "might be" something wrong. It took 3wks and additional testing to confirm. I'm not sure if it made the whole pg thing worse or better.
Anyway, good luck.
I'm sorry! I'm not sure about PA, here in Arizona we have these Crisis Pregnancy Centers and they do free ultra sounds, one per person. You can look and see if there is one in your area, and get an ultra sound through them, its a second opinion and its free, and you wont have to wait two weeks. I hope that helps
Good luck, you are in my prayers!
Thank you for this information. I will definitely look into it.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Try to stay positive about this. My friend said with her little one they were very pessimistic about the US results because of a weak heart beat. As it turns out, her daughter is a very happy and healthy girl now! She's just a naturally tiny kid, so that explains the weakness. There was just no way of knowing that back then. Good luck. I hope everything is ok.
(((hugs)))
So sorry you're going through this. I hope that everything turns out ok.
