I had a D&E (TFMR) on February 3, 2026. I conceived again shortly after and my LMP puts me at 11w2d today.

My timeline:

May 8: Dating ultrasound showed a gestational sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole yet.

May 15: Transvaginal ultrasound showed a fetal pole measuring around 6w2d with a heartbeat around 110 bpm.

May 26: Private ultrasound clinic told me there was a heartbeat of 134 bpm. I left the appointment believing everything was progressing.

June 1: Hospital ultrasound (both abdominal and transvaginal) showed a fetal pole measuring approximately 5.6–6.0 mm (about 6w3d) with no heartbeat seen. The radiologist told me she could see the fetal pole but no cardiac activity.

What is confusing me is that:

I should be 11 weeks by LMP.

I was previously told there were heartbeats on two separate scans.

Today’s scan measured around 6 weeks and no heartbeat was seen.

I have had no bleeding, no cramping, and no signs of miscarriage.

I’m waiting for the official report and have booked another scan in a few days.

Has anyone had a situation where they were measuring 5–6 weeks behind, had no heartbeat on a scan around a 5.6 mm CRL, and then had a positive outcome?

I’m also open to hearing difficult experiences if you’ve been through something similar.

I’m looking for honest feedback and wondering if anyone has seen this kind of discrepancy before.

Thank you.

According to my LMP, I should have been around 8w6d at my most recent ultrasound, but my scan on May 15 measured the pregnancy at only 6w2d.

I had my first dating ultrasound on May 8 where no heartbeat was seen yet, and they asked me to come back a week later. At the second scan, they measured baby at 6w2d. I have longer cycles (usually 32–35 days) and I do believe I ovulated late, so I know that could affect dating.
What is confusing me is that today the radiology clinic called and said they do NOT want another follow-up dating ultrasound, and instead they booked me straight for my future scans:

IPS scan on June 30
Anatomy scan on August 19

Part of me feels like maybe this is reassuring if they’re moving me forward normally, but after my TFMR/D&E earlier this year in February, my anxiety has been through the roof and I’m struggling with the uncertainty.

Has anyone else measured this far behind from LMP and still gone on to have a healthy pregnancy, especially with late ovulation/long cycles?

Did your doctors continue routine care without doing another early viability scan?

Would really appreciate hearing others’ experiences

My LMP was March 14, but I tracked ovulation much later around CD21-23, so I already knew my dates might be off.
I had an early ultrasound where there was a gestational sac/yolk sac but no heartbeat seen yet. I went back for a follow-up ultrasound a week later and now there is a fetal pole with a heartbeat around 107-110 bpm.

The confusing part is that according to my LMP I should be around 8w6d, but the baby is measuring around 6w2d (CRL around 5.1 mm).

The radiologist didn’t diagnose a miscarriage or anything like that, but obviously the dating difference has me really anxious. I know late ovulation can explain some of it, but 18 days feels like a lot.

Has anyone had:

very late ovulation?
measured significantly behind LMP?
slower seeming early growth? but then had things catch up?

Trying to stay hopeful while also being realistic. 🤍

Hi everyone,

We had to do whole exome sequencing after our TFMR due to alobar holoprosencephaly, and I’m currently waiting on the results.

The genetics clinic emailed saying their clinical team is reviewing everything and that they’ll be booking a follow-up appointment to go over the results.

I’m trying not to read into it too much, but I can’t help overthinking…

For those who went through something similar, were you also asked to come in or have a detailed call even when results came back negative? Or is that usually only when something is found?

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences 🤍
The waiting is really hard right now.

Hey guys,

I’m waiting on whole exome sequencing results and the clinic emailed saying their team is reviewing everything and they’ll book a follow-up appointment to go over the results.

Now I’m kind of spiraling a bit

Just wanted to ask that did anyone here also have to do a call/appointment even when the results came back normal?

Or is being called in usually a sign that something was found?

Would really appreciate hearing what your experience was. The waiting is honestly the worst part.

Thanks 🤍
