I (23f) recently found out I was pregnant and was so so so excited. I have irregular periods and was not actively trying to conceive so I was not 100% sure when conception had taken place. I had a positive test on March 28th, 24. I went for a first ultrasound on April 16, 24.
The sonographer told me that I am measuring small (based on my last period first day Feb 3rd, 24.) If measuring by that date I would absolutely agree, but due to my irregular cycle I had to have conceived later.
They decided to look for fetal cardiac activity via transvaginal ultrasound and found no activity. There were no other visibal abnormalities. They then informed me that I've had a missed miscarriage. I dont have much hope at this point that the baby is still alive due to that diagnoses, but I'm trying to be optimistic. Is there anybody else who has experienced no symptoms of loss or misdiagnosis this early on? Or anyone you know?
I opted to go without medication or d&c and to let the miscarriage pass naturally. I have not had any cramping or bleeding or any other kind of pain. I still have minor pregnancy symptoms but they weren't bad from the start - most of my family didn't have bad symptoms either so I wasn't worried.
Is it still to early to base a loss off of lack of cardiac activity this early in the pregnancy? I'm now 6w5d unsure of fetal progression. My doctors office did not schedule any kind of follow up.

Thank you for your kind words.
I called the office that I visited last week today and they were nothing but horrible. They do not want to let me have a second US. I had to fight with the nurse to ask the doctor for a second visit. I still don't have a scheduled visit. The doctor will be out for several weeks after tomorrow. I feel like Im all out of hope to give. At this point with the amount of issues I've had trying to get them to schedule me for a follow up, I feel they would have to be pretty certain to deny my peace of mind. And once again, I was offered to review my options without further scans/ bloodwork being done and being urged to decide to take the medication. I'm so tired. Nobody deserves this kind of agony. I would take any amount of un-medicated pain over this.
