Re: gestational sac still 1 week behind

Hi - I'm NOT a doctor or a qualified medical expert in any way but I would recommend that you seek another opinion. It sounds like your embryo is growing at an appropriate pace, with an appropriate heartrate (I've always heard that there's a +/- 4 days margin of error in CRL dating). SO I would not let that doctor convince you that you are going to miscarry, although sadly, none of us can ever know for sure that we won't. For what it's worth, I posted a few weeks ago after some spotting about chance of miscarriage after seeing h/b on u/s, and Dr. Wang wrote back that it was less than 10%. Good luck to you, I hope everything works out the way you want it to.
