Small gestational sac for dates.. any similar experiences? UPDATE 2nd Hcg Beta results

I had the same with my first pregnancy. I ovulated late so at my first scan they said they should have seen more. All was ok in the end. Are they seeing you again next week?

 

No at the time they didn’t offer beta. I was 6 weeks according to my dates when I first went in. Hoping for reassuring results on Friday! Keep us posted.

 

At 5 weeks you wouldn’t see that much and what you are seeing sounds like the norm for the stage your at.
I’ve had scans at 5 weeks and seen just a sack
Then gone back 2 weeks later and see baby and hb.
Congratulations on your pregnancy

 

Actually, the fact that they could see a sac at 5 weeks is a good sign. The fetal pole doesn't develop until 5.5-6 weeks and the heartbeat starts around 6 weeks as well so I'm not sure why your doctor was expecting more than what you did see. I am not sure what the measurements equal in dates but with your numbers rising so well and the sac being visible, I'd say things are looking okay. I've had an ultrasound done at 5+6 and the tech saw the gestational sac, a yolk sac and a little bump that she thought *might* be the fetal pole. The sac measured 5+4 but I wasn't worried because my babies have always measured a bit smaller than my dates. Went back in at 6+3 because I was bleeding and we saw the sac, yolk, and the fetal pole with a heartbeat. She's now my feisty high spirited 8.5 year old.

I know it's hard to trust that things are going to be okay with a history of loss and the dr being a bit more negative but for now, it seems like things are as they should be. Hopefully the time flies til your next scan and you get the news you are hoping for.

 

I can’t remember I’m afraid. It’s been 13 years… your beta sounds great though. Good luck for your scan!!

 

I pray your next scan goes really well hon.
It’s so hard being pregnant after losses.
I’ve also had alot of losses. We been ttc now for 13 months and I’ve had 3 losses and I had 4 losses b4 I fell with my son. I’ve had 10 losses in total.
I know I’ll be a nervous wreck if and when I fall pregnant again. It’s just so hard after loss to not have major anxiety.
Hugs to you

 

Good luck sweetie
