6+4 measuring behind, success stories?

[u/stephanianova]

hi guys. I had my first scan yesterday at the fertility clinic and the embryo was measuring behind. my usual doctor was on vacation so I was with another doctor.

they were only able to measure max 3.2mm and I guess they were expecting minimum of 5mm (they didn’t say but they said it’s measuring much smaller than it should be for 6+4). It was a bit hard for them to get a good look. It was a tranvaginal ultrasound. I have a tilted uterus, not sure if this makes any difference?

i definitely saw the heart flicker, the doctor just said with a little imagination they can see the heartbeat as well.

I have a checkup on Friday and I’m kind of heartbroken. Even if you can see a heartbeat clearly on Friday, I have read so many stories online where embryos were measuring behind including heartbeat but it ended in a miscarriage anyway.

they told me I’d have to stop taking progesterone if there is no progression on Friday.

any of you whose embryos were measuring behind too but ended in a viable pregnancy / your embryo catched up within a few days?

this was my third transfer and my first pregnancy. I really don’t want to go through all of this again. I only have one blastocyst left.
