Only a yolk sac at 6 weeks? UPDATE hb found 8 days later! - Page 2

ttcpostvr · Apr 12th, 2012, 20:29 PM

Just an update! (last week i had an u/s at 6 weeks, and only saw a gestational sac and yolk sac, measuring 5 weeks)

I went in for another ultrasound today, at 6 weeks 6 days.
Baby had a hb of 130, which was definitely an unforgettable sound! Baby is measuring 6 weeks 2 days, which is 4 days behind lmp edd, which I'm a lot happier with rather than 7 days.

hun this seems to be popping up ALOT on here...

i had my scan at bang on 6 weeks and all we saw was a gestational sac and MAYBE a yolk sac, i was dated at 5 weeks, the fact you saw a certain yolk sac and i didnt is something to be positive about. People tend to get their hopes up going into scan almost certain they'll see this that and the other because all these other people did but the reality is, sometimes you dont, it doesnt mean anything is wrong, dates can be all over the place, we, the sonographer and the measurements mean NOTHING, babies grow at different rates until past 8 weeks, one min they arnt there the next theyve caught upto the predicted gestation. the fact you saw a pregnancy and its in the right place, albiet a little bit off your dates is a really good thing.

I had this too, i went in at 6+4 and only saw gestational sac and yolk sac. The sonographer was very negative and i went away think i was loosing my baby. I was scheduled for another scan 2 weeks later. It felt like a lifetime to wait but it was worth it as when i did go back we saw baby and strong heartbeat, measuring at 7+4 so i was slightly behind.

I havent heard a bad result from similar situations so think its pretty normal, i am not going to say dont worry as i know its sooo hard not too!! Keep us all updated xx

I am in the exact same position. As you can see from
My ticker I went in for an early scan on Tuesday when I thought I was 7 weeks. The sonographer could see the ges sac, yolk sac and the embryo but no HB was detected. She also said it looks as though the embryo is about 5+1 weeks. Now that's a whopping two weeks behind what I thought I was.

I've been rescheduled to go in for a rescan a week next Tuesday. And it sure feels like a lifetime away. I'm trying to remain positive especially after reading all these posts but at the same time I am reading about missed miscarriages. Just so I am prepared.

Good luck with your scan today Katherine

All sounds really reassuring. I hope your next scan shows a little heart beat

I'm trying not to get my hopes up for my early scan next week at 6+1, it's just to make sure there's something in the right place...that is all. I'll have to keep telling myself that!
