8 weeks - scared, worried, no one to talk to
Hi
I am 8 weeks 3 days pregnant. I went for my first ultrasound 2 days ago as a preventative measure due to risk of ectopic pregnancy. During the ultrasound, which ended up being intravaginal, they said that my fetus is measuring the size of 6 weeks. That concerned them if my dates are correct. They had both pros and cons for a viable fetus. I only have a 40% chance of conceiving naturally due to health issues.
Pros - yolk sac, good placental wall, not ectopic, can see movement, no signs of miscarriage like bleeding or cramping.
Cons - no heart beat detected, measuring small.
I was told to come back in 2 weeks to get another one and to not worry unless there are signs.
However, yesterday and today (1-2 days after ultrasound), I am spotting - well, blood is discharge after wiping (brown blood) and my lower back hurts.
My sister is saying not to worry, keep the faith, etc. She is chalking the bleeding and mild discomfort to the aggressive internal ultrasound I had two days ago. The tech was rough, pushed a lot and moved the wand hard and fast to get photos.
Should I be worried? I'm so scared. I've had 3, maybe 4, chemical pregnancies. I just want this one to stick. It's been 4 years of trying to conceive this second baby.
