I'm thoroughly confused. Just over a week ago I had the dawning realisation that I was pg. Since the birth of my second child, just nine months ago, my periods have been irregular and I've been too busy to pay much attention to my dates. So when it occurred to me it'd been quite a while since AF and I tested positive I was gobsmacked, but over the moon. By my reckoning I was already at least 10 weeks gone (as I said I have a 9 month old, my DH and I rarely end up in the same bed )
My hubby and I went for an ultrasound dating scan last Friday and the sonographer told us I was measuring at about 5weeks and she could see the yolk but no baby. We were told to schedule another scan for 2 weeks time. We left, and driving home had a really awkward conversation about the fact that 3 weeks ago (presumed time of conception if 5 weeks is right) DH was out of the country. He didn't exactly accuse me of having an affair (seriously, when would I find the time?!) but he was clearly uncomfortable about it all. The thing is we are both convinced that we haven't done the BD for at least ten weeks, so it seems to me the only logical explanation is a BO or missed miscarriage, but despite the mismatch in dates the sonographer said nothing about it, just sent us on our merry way.
I have had no bleeding or cramps and have morning sickness/tiredness. But unless we've been having sleep-nookie then from what I can see this can only end badly as the dates are way out.
In the meantime I guess there's a good chance I'll MC naturally before the scan which I want to avoid given that it's been about three months since my last period and I haemorraghed in labour.
The lack of confirmation is driving me mad and I don't really know what I can do other than wait it out. BTW, I'm in the UK where the healthcare may be free but that doesn't make it good. I feel like I've been abandoned without even a suggestion of a diagnosis or clue about what will happen next. If it wasn't for the internet I'd still be utterly clueless.
Any suggestions?
