7+1 Non-viable pregnancy then 7+4 found heartbeat...?? Help

[JGR_kent]

I need advice and help... desperately.

We had interesting news on friday! On Tues 15th we had our 7 week viability scan. It showed no yolk sac, no heartbeat and a 0.2mm foetal pole and we were advised it was a non-viable pregnancy. Our nurse told us the miscarriage would happen naturally between 2 days and 2 weeks time. I didn't want to wait for a natural miscarriage if it was going to take 2 weeks to happen. We evetually got a referral to the Early Pregnancy Unit to look at next steps forwards. They did a scan to confirm the clinics scan from Tues. The two scans couldn't have been more different if they tried...

We have a 4.2mm foetus which has a heartbeat! On friday we saw the heartbeat and a foetus that was 20 times bigger than tuesday! We are completely gobsmacked and shell-shocked. We were there to essentially abort the non-viable pregnancy which turns out could actually be viable.

The foetus is small for our dates which obviously can't be wrong so we have another scan next Friday at the EPAU to check progres. The IVF clinic on fri refused to rescan us, wouldn't even see us face to face with a doctor to review Tues and fridays scans. The nurse basically told us, over the phone, that it's likely the foetus will still be non-viable and that we have to wait for the scan at the EPAU to move forwards. They've given me an emergency pack of injections and pessaries to restart but they haven't even booked us a telephone appointment for Friday 25th to review the next scan with us. I'm very frustrated with our IVF clinic and in shock that after everything we are actually still pregnant and we saw the heartbeat! I feel completely abandoned by the clinic (they'd been nothing but amazing up till this point) abd just shattered. I'm so dazed and confused. We've not been booked in for a follow up scab at all with our clinic...

I've turned to Dr Google which is not a good idea and have booked a private scan for Tues to try and out my brain at ease. I just need to know, desperately, is what we saw on Friday still there! I'd planned and begun to deal with the worst case scenario and then the world tilted!

Has anyone else had anything like this? Has anyone got any words of wisdom or comfort? I can't be positive and hopeful. I can't go through 'losing it again and I just don't know what to do think or feel other than totally alone and unsupported by the professionals the NHS paid to support me....

Currently 7+6... maybe pregnant maybe not...

That’s unheard of and how lucky you went to have another scan, if there’s a heartbeat that’s amazing get to this stage, it’s so early. Are you with Care Fertility?
The clinic doesn’t sound like they’re keeping an eye on the pregnancy the way they should and maybe they could of given a blood test to see your levels or rescan to check, may be keep going to NHS to see what’s happening if possible?
I really hope this little baby sticks and that you have a story to tell, how amazing would that be. On the other hand worrying perspective from the clinic to say that, any life chance is a chance to have a baby so they needed fo make more effort. Report to HFEA for poor service or write a complaint on the reviews page as this is a critical part of the journey and it’s a life we’re talking about. Whether the nurse thinks it’s viable or not they just don’t know Mother Nature every time. What if this is actually viable? Hope so, hang in there and don’t blame you for rebooking scans x

Yeah it is with Care Fertility... up until this point they've been wonderful. My brain is so scrambled and I'm struggling to think anything positive. I just need to get through till tomorrow.

I have had some advice about giving feedback/making a complaint and I already had HEFA in mind, as well as the Care Quality Comission. I just hate the fact that I need to do that. It's really tough.

Praying that there is still a viable little bub there tomorrow and that every twinge and cramp and worry is just me being super aware and its nothing... fingers crossed!!!

I’m surprised for Care as they surely want to see a chance of success for their patients. This is very serious and hope it doesn’t happen again. Imagine the people who don’t have extra scans
Fingers crossed for tomorrow I really hope it’s all okay, either way it’s amazing to have got to this stage. I know what you mean about analysing every twinge, but trusting in little bub

How are you doing? I’ve had a non viable pregnancy scan too. So sad. What happened after if you don’t mind me asking?

Hi

Sorry for a late reply I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Hence took a long break but feeling to prepare again for a cycle later this year or early next year.

How have you been?
