8 weeks - 2nd scan

I am experiencing so many different emotions right now. I don't even know how to begin articulating them, so I will just stick to the facts.

• Yesterday we had our second scan.
• It didn't go well.
• Our baby is still measuring 3-4mm, at 8 weeks it should be be 15-16mm
• We saw a faint slow flicker but it was not enough for the doctor to be hopeful.
• I have been taking medication since egg collection to help my body support the pregnancy. 
• The doctor believes that this might be continuing to support my pregnancy when naturally I would have miscarried.
• It has been suggested that I stop taking the medication and expect this to end in miscarriage.
• It may happen naturally.
• Or I could take some medication that would assist it happening
• He didn't believe a D&C would be necessary.
• We still qualify for another round of public funded IVF.
• Since we actually managed to get pregnant, it is likely that there will still be the option of having another go with my eggs rather than being told the only way forward is with donor eggs.

We just have to wait it out and see what happens.

This journey never gets any easier.
