Miscarriage/Or Mix Up In Dates

[BabyNo2]

Wondering whether its possible that my dates are just mixed up.  Last LMP 7/27 and went for ultrasound on 9 /23 but baby only measured 6 wk 1 day (should have been 8 weeks by my calculations as I have a regular 28 day cycle) and no heart beat.  I could have gotten pregnant on 8/8 or 8/20 but had positive pregnancy test on 8/24 so don't see how 8/20 works.  If I got pregnant on 8/8 is it possible that the baby could still be fine but has not grown enough for the heartbeat to be detected?  Or is it more likely (as I suspect) that the baby just stopped growing at 6 weeks.  Let me know if you have had a similar experience with either a good or bad outcome.

Thanks.

I am going through the same thing. On 9/15 I went the dr for an u/s I measured at 2 weeks even though the doctor said I should have beenaround 4 weeks from my last period. Then I went back on 9/23 and I measured 3 1/2 weeks ... seems like the right amount of growth due from the last u/s. I have another u/s tomorrow to see if the baby is measuring 5 weeks. I starting having some light brown spotting last night but I have had no cramping. I am trying to stay positive .... you should too. Everything will work out the way it is supposed to. I wish you all the best.

Good luck for tomorrow.  Keep positive, having babies is always a worry, even when they are grown up you will still worry!  Unfortunately things not worked out well for me, but I have got two lovely healthy children, so must be thankful for that.  If you need to talk I'll be around. x

I am kind of going through the same thing as you however my baby does have a heartbeat. It just seems to not have grown since I went in on Sunday the 20th because of bleeding. Which then they said I was 6weeks. So when I went in on Friday I should be 7 weeks goign from my last LMP. But when she did the measurements it showed I was exactly at 6 weeks still. So I go back Friday to see if anything has changed. I will not let myself be negative about this baby because there are so many reason this could have happened. I went to misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com and there are many women that have been given the worse news only to find out everything was fine and have healthy babies. So stay postive and wait to see what is going on before you write it off as the worse! I will keep you in my prayers. Or go to my page I found this pregnany prayer I have been reading often.
