No fetal pole at 6+3 and 6+6 UPDATE !!!!

😭😭😭 forget not using emojis on Reddit, I am beside myself

I was very certain I ovulated on 4/13 and had an early scan done on 5/11 by one OBGYN, 5/14 by another OBGYN, and 5/17 by a “diagnostic boutique”

5/11 (~6w): yolk sac, measuring 6 weeks, Hcg 16000+

5/14 (6+3): yolk sac, measuring 6+1, told “concerning but not concerning”

5/17 (6+6/7): “irregular shaped yolk sac, large bleed, dull yolk sac, no embryo, remnants/remains of what might have been an embryo at one point, MSD is too high for no fetal pole, I’m so sorry for your loss”

* UPDATE * 5/21: HR 148!!!!!!!! Measuring 7+3 which is exactly what I thought I should be. She said there is no bleed at all, everything is great and she has no idea what the boutique was seeing.

I don’t know what happened. I do know I’ve learned my lesson on these early scans and obsessing. The universe is gonna do what it wants to do regardless of you obsessing.

But I wanted to share this because I spent so many hours and sleepless nights looking for anyone with no fetal pole/embryo so far along and didn’t see many with success stories that were sure of their dating

Any hope?

I had a blighted ovum 3/29. This is a new pregnancy that I’m sure is another loss. I’m going to word vomit all my facts in hopes someone can help my mind a little here

3/29 loss
4/13 EWCM
4/24 vvvvfl on frer
4/27 Hcg 25 via blood work

5/11 Hcg 16000
5/11 ultrasound measuring 6w + showing yolk sac

5/17 “boutique” ultrasound though claims also able to be diagnostic, gestational sac measuring 5+5, yolk sac but no fetal pole, tells me my MSD is 2.1 (conflicting measurements no??), that I have a bleed and she’s so sorry and I’ll get a baby one day.

I have an ultrasound and appt with my regular ob tomorrow but I’m going insane. I’m hoping I ovulated later than the 4/13 mucus suggests but I also know this is likely a loss

Goodness this is exhausting and I’m about to be done lol. This morning I took my usual strip and it was significantly lighter than usual. I started to crash out and then remembered the hook effect. I knew highly unlikely because I am just barely 5 weeks today. I diluted around 80water/20urine, it was a good bit darker. I dumped half that cup and filled again with water. Darkest positive yet. I had used my undiluted urine for FRER. Dye stealers. I then took the very diluted urine and used FRER - dye stealers again?!

1st photo: progressions, you can see the light test (second to last) and then the first dilution below

2nd photo: first two strips undiluted, third strip ultra diluted

3rd photo: dye stealers with undiluted urine
4th photo: dye stealers with ultra diluted urine

But if someone else posted it I’d probably think they were fine.

Can anyone please give me some encouraging words? I don’t know who to talk to, and I feel ridiculous that a loss at 5+1 has me this shook that I can’t enjoy this one.

EWCM: 4/13 @ 8pm
Faintest squinter: 4/24
Beta1: 4/26 (HCG 25)
Beta2: 4/28 46hrs (HCG 89)
Progesterone: 9.5
FRER dye stealer: 19DPO

Started progesterone supplements (400/Daily)

Things that worry me specifically: Prior loss, Stall on the strips for multiple days, low starting Hcg, & low progesterone even though I ovulate monthly, have no problem getting pregnant and have regular light periods

I had a loss on 3/29 and my mind is so heavy. I want to celebrate but… cautious :’)
