No heartbeat at 9 weeks

Hi I just saw gynae for the first time at 9 weeks. Gynae couldn’t hear a heartbeat and saw some implantation bleeding.. advised to come back aft a week to double confirm.. if it’s a miscarriage. Anyone experienced this bfr? Any chance it’s a scare and it’s too early to tell? That I could have calculated my weeks wrongly? Gynae said it may be too early to tell as I don’t Remb what exactly is too small.. 4mm.

did u count your due date using your last menstruation date? how did u determine that you're at your 9th week pregnancy? it could be maybe you got your LMD wrong or your ovulation period is longer and so, you're probably at maybe week 5 or 6 (heartbeat would not be obvious yet)? usually at week 9, foetus would be there and heartbeat would be obvious already. do u also experience any heavy vaginal bleeding, like fresh blood? if so, it is not a good sign. I guess probably you got your calculation wrongly. if u are still experiencing some early pregnancy symptoms such as sore/tender breast, morning sickness, I think it should be fine, provided if there isn't any heavy bleeding or heavy abdominal cramping. just go back for a 2nd scan to confirm. take care.

Ahh, then don't worry much. Let's wait for the right time cause it's still small. meanwhile don't stop your folic acid. I usually get my first scan at week 9-12. Let's pray 😀
