The waiting game

Hi. I'm new. This is my first post in F17, so I thought I would just introduce myself here. I'm am 26. And this will be my second pregnancy. I have a 2 year old DS who was born in May14. My first pregnancy was a breeze, from conciving on the first try, to delivering exactly on my due date. This pregnancy not so much. DH and I had been ttc for 4 months. And finally got a BFP.
Today we had our first ultra sound, which didn't go well. We are sure about the dates of my last menstral cycle and our DR said we were 6w7d according to my last menstral cycle. When we did the ultra sound, she found the baby, but no heart beat, and was measuring 6w1d. Which she said was 8 days behind? That didn't make sense. So my DR sat us down and gave us the run down about how we could be off about dates, and then how he would like to take blood today and Wednesday. And then we will know for sure on Wed when we get my blood results back.
I guess what I am trying to ask is, is there hope? I really am trying to be positive but trying to prepare myself for the worst because I really don't see how we could be off about the days. If I am 6w1d that means I would have a 35 day cycle and the day I "conceived" I was already having pregnancy symptoms. So I don't see how that's possible. I could be having a "missed miscarriage" because I have absolutely no signs of a miscarriage. But I also don't fell like my pregnancy symptoms are that prominent besides the sore breast and acid reflux.
Iv been googling all day, and searching F17 forms. I don't really no what I'm looking for, because I know it can go either way at this point. And we won't know anything till Wed. Maybe just support. Thanks for listening mamas. ❤️

The blood draws will tell you a lot more about what's happening. If your HCG levels are rising, you'll be in good shape, no matter how you appear to be measuring.
A "missed miscarriage" is usually not diagnosed unless it's clear that the baby has stopped developing. Don't jump to that conclusion - that's borrowing trouble that you don't need right now.
Hope everything works out for you!

i suffered a loss earlier this year.
the waiting is hard. I had hcg taken every other day over about 1.5 weeks, 2 u/s and m/c between week 6 and 7.
the hcg tests, looked at together, will give you the most information. one reading alone won't tell you much, it's the increase that's important.
be patient with yourself and kind to yourself. give yourself lots of space to feel hopeful or not. do things relaxing to pass the time, read a book, see a movie, whatever will distract you.
I will be hoping for the best for you.
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

Sending positive vibes.
That doesn't mean that's definitely what's going on with you, but it's a possibility.
Did you have a transvaginal ultrasound? Even if you did, finding a heartbeat at 6w1d would be hard. Of course there is still hope! The info youve provided makes it hard to predict outcome, but babies arent made according to a firm set of timing guidelines. Let us know what both your beta tests are on Wednesday and that will give you a clearer idea of how things are progressing. The increase, doubling, or close to doubling is the most important indicator at this stage.
The waiting SUCKS. I'm sorry it's so rough for you right now
