This is the first time I am ever posting on a forum and I am really desperate for some advice.
I had my last menstruation on the 31st of December 2012 and I have not menstruated since then. Sometime in the middle February 2013 I started to feel unwell, but I have been trying to have a second child for 10 years so I never thought I could be pregnant. By the first week of march my husband and I decided to get a pregnancy test kit (clearblue digital), and the other strip type. I used two strips (all 2 the same night) and it clearly showed 2 bold lines, we were so happy and the next morning on the 6th of march 2013, I used the digital pregnancy test kit and it quickly said 3+ and pregnant.
3 days later same result, I saw my GP and she referred me to the midwives who wrote and asked me to go for a scan, during the scan the technician said she could see a gestational sac but no baby, the sac looked empty. she has asked me to return a week or two later and report to the Early pregnancy unit, she also took her time to tell me that If I felt any pain or bleeding I should go to A&E ASAP (that really scared me).
I know it might be a blighted ovum but shouldn't I have miscarried the pregnancy by now considering it is now 12 weeks and 7 days according to the technicians calculation based on last menstruation? I have not spotted even once and I still feel the nausea. I am confused, scared and sad. Can this be an ectopic pregnancy or is it a blighted ovum or the baby was just not visible. is it possible for a baby not to be spotted at 12 Weeks?
The report the technician gave me says gestational sac 15.7mm, gestational sac volume 2.0ml, sac size is approximately 6+ weeks gestation, no obvious fetal pole or yolk sac identified. ultrasound view: restricted. Since I had the scan 2 days ago I have not slept, and I keep searching the web for an answer.
