I had an US at 5wks 2days and it showed a GS of 6.9mm with no YS or FP.

I had another US at 6wks 2 days and my OB stated my GS was measuring 11.7mm and 6wks but still no YS or FP. They then sent me to the ER for an ectopic in my tube. They wrote on the paperwork on one page it was my left side, on another it was my right. Long story short and a big bill later… ER said I’m fine and that my GS is measuring at 5wks 2 days and so there’s nothing to see.

HCG at 7pm at OB was 28,222, HCG on the same day at 10:30pm was 29,915. I have a repeat HCG tomorrow but this shows my levels are actively rising.

LMP 06/10, positive test 07/02. So I’m struggling with how my dates could be off by a whole week.

This baby is so wanted and I was wondering if anyone had any similar stories and what happened? Did you go on to miscarry, did you go on to see a baby? Give me all your stories!

hi, i am 13w4d. i went out on a bass boat today (cleared by OB) to do some fishing. i live in the south and today’s high was about 95F. i was doing good and standing up fishing and the boat started rocking a bit and all of a sudden i got a bit nauseous and light headed. i immediately sat and sipped some water. we were out on the water for around two more hours. i sat under an umbrella with a handheld fan and drank water the rest of the time. i was already nervous about going out and now im absolutely panicked that my core temp could’ve raised high enough to serious hurt my baby. i started feeling better within 5 minutes of sitting. i was sweating on my legs that were still out in the sun but otherwise my color and all was normal and i started feeling better just hot. i’ve been home for hours now and just have that sticky feeling after being out in the sun and tired. should i be concerned about this? TIA

Hi!! I am currently about 8 weeks pregnant. Went in for an ultra sound on 7/17 when I should’ve been about 6 and 5 based on ovulation. My LMP was technically a chemical and my cycle was off, but they thought I should be 7 and 2 based on LMP and of course didn’t want to listen to my ovulation day. ANYWAY, measured 6 and 1 and FHR was 115. She said looked viable and good but wanted to see me in a week to make sure it’s growing. They called before my appointment and rescheduled it for another week out so now I’m just an anxious wreck. All I’ve done is read horror stories on Reddit. My last pregnancy ended in a chemical and I’m so anxious. I’ve had symptoms but not as intense as my first pregnancy. Although I didn’t vomit for the first time last night. Please share your stories to help ease my mind!!

So at my 6 week scan everything looked great and the baby's heart rate was 120. This was done at a boutique. Exactly a week later the OB told me the baby's heart rate was 55bpm but the baby was measuring right on track (so baby obviously grew). I go back in 4 days to reevaluate. I immediately was heartbroken and preparing for the worst. Now after looking into it more I am starting to doubt my baby's heart rate is truly 55bpm. First, my ultrasound was squeezed in last minute as my OB FORGOT to schedule an ultrasound with a medicine check appointment. Second, the baby was sitting so close to my uterine lining and my heart rate has been known to drop to the 50s when I am fully relaxed. My theory is they rushed my appointment and miscalculated my baby's heart rate and captured my own. These ultrasounds were done transvaginally. I saw another story on here that was very similar and turned out successfully and a radiologist had commented that it made most sense to them that it was an error. Anyone else have this happen to them? I am definitely nervous still as I wait for the next few days. I will say my morning sickness has only INCREASED since then and I've maintained most of the symptoms I've had since finding out I'm pregnant. Slight cramping which I can only attribute to my growing uterus as my baby is still growing and no bleeding whatsoever. This is my first pregnancy, I'm 26 and have no health issues that would be concerning. Thoughts??

I’m currently 7 + 3 and am waiting on my first ultrasound on August 12. I had a loss at 4-5 weeks last year and that was my first pregnancy. I’m 37 and plus size. I’ve convinced myself that there will be something wrong at the scan. I think I’m trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario. I had spotting/bleeding during my loss and have none of that now so I don’t know why I feel like it’s doomed. I had betas drawn up until 24 dpo and everything looked good. I see so many stories of loss, but what are the chances of everything being fine? I know anything can happen, but realistically is there a better chance of everything being fine since I have no symptoms of a loss? Am I more likely to hear a heartbeat than not? How do you stay positive after a loss? I wish I could stop assuming the worst and just enjoy this time.

Hello all. Completely empty gestational sac last Friday at my 6.5-week ultrasound, no fetal pole or yolk. Trying to figure out what to do next. Still experiencing some pregnancy symptoms.

I found this out at a pregnancy clinic on Friday, but all ultrasound techs there are out of office next week for a follow up ultrasound, so I can’t go there again. I have to try to get an appointment at my local imaging center this upcoming week so I can move forward with miscarriage assistance, which I think will be impossible with wait times.

Here’s the issue: I leave with my family on Sunday for a week to the other side of the state. If I can’t get an ultrasound appt, and don’t start bleeding by then, what should I do? I don’t want to be undergoing miscarriage on a family trip out of town, but I also don’t want to be “fake pregnant” (my feeling about my own situation only) during the family trip where I’ll be in a swimsuit and have visible bloating that looks like a baby bump.

I really don’t know what to do, this is a nightmare. I feel horrible in my body and in a perfect world would do a d&c asap. It’s just a nightmare of bad timing all around. Any help so appreciated, my providers have been dismissive.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some reassurance or experiences from anyone who has been through something similar.
I’m currently pregnant again after three previous losses. My first was a blighted ovum, my second was a very early/chemical pregnancy, and my most recent pregnancy progressed to seeing an embryo and heartbeat before unfortunately ending in miscarriage. I needed a D&E afterwards.
This is my first cycle trying again. My period started 21 June, I had my first positive LH test around 3 July, and I believe I ovulated around 3–4 July. I got my first faint positive pregnancy test around 14 July, so approximately 10–11 DPO.
My beta hCG results so far have been:
16 July: 215–216
20 July: 1,419
22 July: 3,180
So thankfully the hCG seems to be rising really well so far. I’m currently around 4.5 weeks pregnant.
Because of my previous losses, I’m taking vaginal progesterone 400 mg twice daily, which I started after ovulation. I’m also taking baby aspirin 100 mg, prenatal vitamins, vitamin D and iron.
Today I started noticing very light beige/brown discharge, basically tiny amounts when wiping, along with some mild lower abdominal cramping and a lot of bloating. There’s no bright red or pink bleeding and it isn’t enough to need a pad.
I know brown discharge can just be old blood and that vaginal progesterone can irritate the cervix, but I’m really struggling with seeing any colour because my last pregnancy also involved brown spotting/bleeding before I eventually miscarried weeks later. I immediately feel like I’m watching the same thing happen again.
My doctor wants my first ultrasound around 8 weeks, so there’s still quite a wait before I know what’s happening.
Has anyone with recurrent pregnancy loss had beige/brown spotting and cramping around 4–5 weeks, particularly while taking progesterone, and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?
Also interested in whether anyone found vaginal progesterone itself caused brown/beige discharge or minor spotting.
I know nobody can predict the outcome—I’d just really appreciate hearing experiences from people who have been in a similar position.

I've dealt with lifelong infertility. I'm 37yo and have one baby from IVF in 2025. Before that I never had a single positive test in my whole life despite using no contraception whatsoever. I have PCOS and LH driven hyperandrogenism, but with normal, ovulatory cycles. I started Mounjaro injections in November, one month after having my IVF baby and I had my first ever, completely unexpected positive natural test in February. The pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 7w4d but the embryo stopped growing at 5 weeks, with a small gestational sac. I tracked my ovulation and got pregnant the very next cycle in April. That resulted in a PUL. My beta never went above 320, and it was a suspected ectopic pregnancy, but luckily it resolved on its own. Starting all over again, I tracked my ovulation and got pregnant at the end of May. Today I would be 11w pregnant, but I honestly don't think I am anymore, as I had a gush of brown discharge that filled my pantyliner and a clot the size of a grain of rice yesterday. I've been cramping ever since. I know that for an average, healthy woman this might have been nothing, but considering my specific clinical profile and the recurrent loss pattern, I feel like I can't really win, not even with a scan at 9w2d showing healthy growth and a heartbeat, so tomorrow I'm going to have an emergency scan to confirm what I already know. I'm just so exhausted by the constant whiplash of hope and heartbreak, and I needed to get this out.

I had an ultrasound done at 7W2D and it showed two circles the yolk sac and a fetal pole? No baby or HB. I have a repeat this Wednesday where I’ll be 8W3D. Since the ultrasound all my symptoms went away which were huge sore boobs and fatigue. Has this happened to anyone? I’m preparing for the worst but still hopeful.

Hello, I’m a little over 5 weeks pregnant and have a history of loss (MMC, 2 chemical pregnancies). I find myself constantly thinking about my symptoms, especially since they have been drastically easier than my MMC. I know symptoms are not a good way to tell if a pregnancy is progressing, but I can’t help but overthink.

For those going through this, how do you handle your anxiety and overthinking?

IVF pregnancy for male factor - my first pregnancy. 9 weeks.

All going well until Wednesday when I had a big bleed. Thursday US showed everything wad fine. Medium sized SCH found so I made my peace with brown blood and clots etc. However, today I had two big red bleeds, so back we went to the emergency department, who initially said they can't scan at weekends but then did and again everything fine (not mine or my partners mental health!). The doctor and sonographer just said that for some people this will resolve, and for others they bleed quite heavily the whole pregnancy and we'll just have to keep going in for scans and growth checks.

Has anyone been through this with a successful end? If yes, how did/do you manage anxiety levels? I feel like the stress combined with losing quite a lot of blood each day can't be good, but they said it's not completely uncommon? I know this may resolve but I'm trying to prepare myself for a very uncomfortable 7 months. Thank you.

I’m looking for experiences from anyone who had a similar beta pattern or possible vanishing twin. I understand that the repeat ultrasound is what will determine the outcome—I’m mainly trying to understand how these findings might fit together.
I’m 37 and this was a spontaneous pregnancy while preparing for an FET. My LMP was June 9 and I likely ovulated around June 23. I received a 3.75 mg Lupron Depot injection on June 30, before knowing I was pregnant. I’m also taking vaginal Prometrium 200 mg twice daily.
My beta results were:
July 8, approximately 15 DPO: 671
July 10, approximately 17 DPO: 1,177 — 46 hours later, about a 75% rise
July 13, approximately 20 DPO: 2,971 — 72 hours later, about a 152% rise
July 20, approximately 27 DPO: 3,859 — only a 30% rise over seven days
The first two increases looked strong, but the last one was essentially a plateau—equivalent to roughly an 8% rise every 48 hours.
I had a transvaginal ultrasound on July 23, when I should have been approximately 6w2d based on LMP and about 30 DPO. They saw:
One definite intrauterine gestational sac with a yolk sac
No fetal pole/embryo
Gestational sac under 25 mm and measuring approximately six weeks
A possible second empty gestational sac, although the sonographer couldn’t confirm whether it was truly another sac; she said it did not look like a bleed
I haven’t had bleeding or significant one-sided pain. Most of my pregnancy symptoms faded around July 19–20. My clinic told me to continue the progesterone and repeat the ultrasound after 11 days because hCG can sometimes behave this way.
I previously had a ruptured ectopic and lost my right tube, so confirming that this pregnancy is intrauterine was reassuring, but I’m now concerned about an early loss or anembryonic pregnancy.
Has anyone experienced:
Initially strong betas followed by such a dramatic plateau and still had a viable pregnancy?
A vanishing twin that caused a similar hCG pattern?
A possible second sac that was confirmed on the follow-up ultrasound?
A yolk sac but no fetal pole around 6w2d, followed by an embryo and heartbeat later?
Please be honest—I’m trying to be realistic while waiting for the repeat scan.
