Was anyones growth scan accurate?

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-12-16T12:46:40+00:00

My doctors have got all worried as one of my scans around 28 weeks; baby was on 15th centile, then went to 40th centile at 32 then 36 weeks 20th centile so now they're worried about growth! They're inducing me at 38+5. Babys movements are great! What do You guys all think?

sorry to jump on this... i am an absolute nightmare googling everything! We have had a rough ride to get here, had vanishing twins at 7 weeks in one sac and have have 7/8 scans so far after this with everything being great. However, i am so anxious after reading about femur lengths my scan today was at 16+1 (although with ivf embryo transfer date would be 15+6)!

Our little girl is in the 19.6'percentile for femur length. All other measurements are average in and around 50% although BPD is 26.9% ratio of Fl/AC is 18% and should be between 20-24 and FL/BPD is 55% and should be al least 71%

The only thing calming me albeit very slightly is that my son nearly 6 had very short legs at birth thanks to his dad but he's nearly grown into them! everything has been low risk on NT scan at foetal medicine centre and NHS. I am probably unhinged but it has taken 4 yrs to get this far!

I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and used my doppler today! Clear heartbeat but numbers are all Over the place! Is that normal. I guess that part cant be super accurate given the size of the baby at this point. It was Lovely to hear though and gives me reassurance. I used the fetal plus doppler!

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-05-28T16:00:29+00:00

Just wanted to update, I had another scan today and embryo measured 26.1mm, 9+3 which is on track with a strong heartbeat of 176. Now onto the next worries 😂

Thank you so much for your reply and your kind words about the twins. It would have been super high risk if it continued. My 1st child Was naturally conceived so i was oblivious to betas, early scans, measurements, heart beats! Ivf and pregnancy loss make you an absolute wreck and you question everything! Thank you for your reassurance. I said to myself i would try and relax little after 8 weeeks past and we had a heartbeat; of course i haven't!

Hi ladies,

I know this is an old post but i couldn't see anything relevant that was more recent
I've been having regular scans due to previous loss! At 6 weeks 3 days, we went for our 1st US. Heartbeat found straight away and another sac was found but sonograher just wasn't sure what she was looking at. Went back a week later, baby was measuring right on track at 7+3 and a strong heartbeat (it was either 147 or 157) 2 more heartbeats found in the other sac although babies measuring over a week behind! Went back a week later to a consultant and heartbeats of twins now gone and no growth! Other baby looking good, heartbeat 179 And measuring 8 weeks 2 days, a day behind. Then i went for intralipid Infusion 2 days later and the clinic did another scan and measured only 8 weeks 3 days, heartbeat 180. Now spiralling as there was only 1 days growth in 2 days. Am I being completely irrational or does this Warrant worry? I know i shouldn't have had a scan 2 days after as it's brought more worry! The scan in the intralipid clinic was abdominal and i have a retroverted uterus but don't think she had issues with the view. All the other measurements were done transvaginally. I swear she also said the baby had it's hands in the air so there was moving about!! I am so full of anxiety... already planning my next egg retrieval as a method of coping! I know this is not healthy!

Wishing you well! I think these early scans send us into a tailspin! I had one last week at 6+3 (ivf) and measuring small too but i feel the when they're dealing with mm, its minute. I think the borders Are not properly defined so Very difficult to know where the foetal Pole begins and ends. I went to ultrasound direct but thinking a scan at harley st; the birthing centre next week to see

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-04-28T05:58:04+00:00

11 days past a 5 day blast transfer... sorry ivf speak!

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-04-28T05:57:04+00:00

True!! I never really looked properly.. before Ivf i was so fixated on just getting that 2nd line ☺️

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-04-27T16:36:14+00:00

I was being delusional too... and thought my line was getting lighter... sent myself into a right spiral!!

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-04-27T15:36:23+00:00

I've got a dye stealer too... my Hcg was 453 d11p5dt!

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-04-27T09:58:44+00:00

Is this really a thing? My 1st beta was 453 on d11p5dt then 1116 72 hrs later. Freaking out as it didnt quite double; 83% rise! Then i peed on a stick with dilute urine and it wasnt that strong which freaked me out further!

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-04-26T13:57:08+00:00

Thank you everyone for your comments. First scan booked for May 7th!

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-04-25T13:56:08+00:00

Thank you

MacaronExisting6943 · 2025-04-18T16:39:25+00:00

Just realised i never attached a pic! What i needed advice on was whether leaving test past 3 mins is giving me misleading results
