Hi everyone. I am really guessing my heart and am fairly certain of the outcome. But I believe miracles happen so I’m hoping I will get my miracle. Husband and I did IVF, 3rd round finally took. So we know our dates are exact. Had my first ultrasound at 5.6 weeks. They saw a good gestational sac and yolk sac. No fetal pole or heart flicker yet. My HCG was around 4800. 5 days later I had another ultrasound at 6.4 weeks. There was only about 1.5mm growth of the gestational and yolk sac. And they measured CRL at 2mm, where it wasn’t measurable the last time 5 days prior. They did say they were having a hard time measuring. They picked up a very slight cardiac flicker but nothing their machine could read and they think it may have been my own heartbeat? My HCG was 13,500 for that appointment. I was told there should have been much more growth than that in 5 days and they should be seeing a deferrable flicker at this point and are boarding on calling it a missed miscarriage. I go back tomorrow at 6.6 weeks for another ultrasound to see if anything has changed. I’m sad, confused and have all the feelings. I know all those things combined, except for the rising beta, don’t mean anything good. But I’ll listen to any success stories of similar situations if you have them. ❤️

Hi all. I had recent IVF done and had my first ultrasound at 5.6 weeks. They saw an appropriately sized gestational sac and yolk sac. No cardiac flicker at that point which they said was perfectly fine. My betas were rising great. I went back today at 6.4 weeks and the gestational sac and yolk sac have only grown about 1mm and the CRL (crown rump length) was only at 2mm. The had it at zero last time. It’s supposed to grow about 1mm a day I was told. They said they could see a tiny flicker maybe but they think it may have been my own heartbeat? There were 2 ppl who looked at the ultrasound. This is at a fertility clinic where they aren’t necessarily ultrasound techs and not NPs or Doctors but they do enough of them I assume they know what they are looking at. I go back in 2 days where I’ll be 6.6 weeks along to confirm if it’s a missed miscarriage. I am holding out a sliver of hope but I think I know what’s coming. My beta on the first ultrasound was 4800 and today (5 days later) it’s 13,500. But I know betas can continue to rise even if there is a miscarriage. If anyone has been in this situation before please let me know. I could use any hope right now.
