Supposedly 6weeks, Yolk and Gestational Sac but no baby or HB, * UPDATE PAGE 3 *

[xxCarrieAnnxx]

So been for an ultra sound this morning, based on LMP, which was 4th Feb I am supposed to be 6 weeks pregnant. At the scan the sonographer picked up a yolk sac and gestational sac but no baby and no heartbeat. I wasnt expecting miracles and even said yesterday to my family that I am not expecting to see a heartbeat this early, but now its happened Ive sunk into another low.

I lost my last baby at 22 weeks, he had complications and we have been reassured that it is highly unlikely to happen again and I am 90% confident it wont. I was heartbroken when everything happened then fell pregnant again less than 3 months later with this pregnancy so have had to move on pretty quick to avoid any stress so early on. It has been hard. I promised myself I would not be as down this time if any problems arise as nothing can be as bad as what me and my partner went through with the last pregnancy. I have been upbeat, the best I can be so far but this, this morning has hit me for six.

We had to go in to see a doctor after the scan and she said it is not looking good but not looking bad either. Deep down I dont think I am even 6 weeks as I know I did not ovulate 14 days after my LMP as I was using OPKs and didnt ovulate until CD19, so based on this I would say I am about 5 weeks but what do I know ... If Im honest Ive had my doubts about this pregnancy as I have had no symptoms, but what will be will be. Its just the wait now until I have to go back for another ultra sound (in 2 weeks time) its gonna be hard and I dont know what to expect when I go back...

Any experiences are very much welcome, I feel a bit better for venting! xx

Well if you are only 5 weeks you shouldn't expect to even see the baby let alone a heart beat! You shouldn't worry until your next scan. I had today at 6 weeks 1 day and saw the baby and heart beat but I ovulated at CD 15 so it makes going by the LMP pretty reliable but I know it isn't for everyone. I also didn't get any symptoms really until this last week.

Don't worry just yet, I had an U/S because of some bleeding at 5+4 (5+1 based on late ovulation). My NP assured me we would see a heartbeat because my hcg tests have been really high. Well we only saw a gestational sac with a yolk sac. The U/S tech said that it was completely normal for that time frame. I went back at 7+4 (7+1 by Ovulation) and saw a baby with a strong heatbeat of 145. I had another U/S at 9 weeks because of bleeding and baby was still doing fine with a heart beat of 189. You really should try not to worry yet, because with late ovulation only seeing a yolk sac now may be normal.

Well I just hope my dates have got me mixed up and I am too early! Otherwise I just dont have much of an outlook on this pregnancy. Based on LMP I should be 6+4 today and in that case I would have expected to have seen more ...

 

[xxCarrieAnnxx]

Thanks Twinkie, thats what I am hoping for now. I know when they date it on your LMP its assumed you have a normal 28 day cycle with ovulation on CD14, but I was charting so know for a fact my cycle was not that!! The fact I ovulated a week later is obviously now what is making me think I am only 5 weeks or so ..

I am so sorry for your previous loss.

Hun, I too had my scan yesterday and they did not see much except the gestational sac and a tiny speck of a yolk. My doctor said everything looked as it should for 5 weeks. My LMP was 2/5 and I too O'd late, CD21, so that makes me just over 5 weeks like you. If you're concerned, ask your doctor if you can go in for another scan next week to make sure everything is progressing. My doctor rescheduled me for next Friday , 3/30. I have not had any symptoms, except sore boobs, and my doctor said this is normal as my hormones have not kicked all the way in. She said if I don't have MS in the couple of weeks, consider myself lucky.

I too was really worried, hence why we had an early scan, but I have tried to take the approach that everything is going to progress just fine, until my body or doctor tell me otherwise. There is really nothing I can do about it. I know it's easier said than done, but try to keep yourself busy so you don't focus on the bad things. Focus on how great it will be when you do see your babies heartbeat and see it's little toes/fingers.

Good luck hun and fingers crossed that everything goes well for you.

I'm really sorry for your loss

Try not to worry much hun, you're probably too early

I had a miscarriage on January 20th and some weird symptoms made me take a test on March 3rd while I was still taking contraceptive pills ( my mc took 2 whole weeks), test was positive and the ship's doctor ( I work on a cruise ship) sent me outside for an ultrasound to make sure it wasn't some hormonal mess and it was a pregnancy, I had my first scan on March 6th and all the doctor saw was a gestational sac of 9mm and a yolk sac of 3mm or so, no embryo and he said: I don't know if this is going to work or not is too early, come back in two weeks ( he was kind of unsensitive).

I went back to the ship and the ship's doctor said: you're definitely pregnant, I advise you to go home and rest, so I did, I flew next saturday to my country and Monday morning I called my sister's ginecologyst for an appointment. I told her what the other doctor said and she immediately said: WTF! why would he say that? If there is a yolk sac there is an embryo! even if you can't see it! Then she proceeded with the scan and there it was! a tiny little beanie blinking on the screen, I also heard the heartbeat according to her calculations I was exactly 6 weeks that day, less than a week after the first scan that had me so sad and worried.

Have faith and try to be patient

Thanks, will do! If it makes you feel any better, here is what my ultrasound looked like yesterday.

 

[xxCarrieAnnxx]

Thank You Cata xx

I hope it works out for us both, lush that you seen babys heartbeat it must have been so reassuring. Some doctors are so unsensitive, its like they deal with this everyday and forget us women have feelings! The one I met this morning was the same xx

I think it might just be too early, or you might be off a bit in your dates, you could be earlier than you think.

I would not worry...I did not go for my first scan until 9 weeks.

Are you having any symptoms?

 

[xxCarrieAnnxx]

Thanks Nik, that looks very similar to mine! The sonographer showed us the screen but I really didnt know what to make of it lol

I feel a bit better for talking to everyone on here, just keeping my fingers crossed now that maybe I am trying to run too soon and am just simply EARLY !! Xxx

Hmmm ... Its hard to say really. I dont have sore bb's at all. I am sleeping a lot more tho. MS is not happening altho every now and then I do feel sick but not being sick. I dont normally have this so I guess I could say Im having some symptoms. Im not too worried about that as I know every woman and pregnancy is different.

You are still too early to have full blown M/S I think...so your symptoms sound about right to me. More fatigue, feeling sick here and there. Those are defininte symptoms for how far long you are.

I would not worry in the least

This is a common occurrence in very early pregnancy, it happened in my first pregnancy and in this pregnancy as well. I was devastated just like you.

There is still hope, best of luck.

 

[Mypreciouskid]

Well I just hope my dates have got me mixed up and I am too early! Otherwise I just dont have much of an outlook on this pregnancy. Based on LMP I should be 6+4 today and in that case I would have expected to have seen more ...

Hugs!!! My LMP was also 2/4! I had a scan last week at 5w 6d and they saw a gs and I think the ys, but I can't remember...it all happened so quickly! I have been so worried! My gs measured only 4w 6d...which isn't as reliable as embryonic measurements. I have 28 day cycles and pretty sure of when I conceived. I am scheduled to go back on Friday, but I'm seriously thinking about canceling. I'm tooooo scared.

 

[Dahlia2007]

Carrie, I really believe that you O'd late. And oh my gosh at this stage, a day can make a difference in the development of your baby. And because you O'd late and most likely under 6 weeks, there is basically no reason to worry here yet. I think what's extra pressure here is the fact that they put you at being 6 weeks, when you actually aren't, so it's making you stress. But please don't stress. It's the dating, I have faith!
Will you get another ultrasound in a few days?

 

[xxCarrieAnnxx]

Hi Dahlia, they have booked me in for another ultrasound two weeks today, if I am out on my dates then I should be at least 6 weeks by then, maybe more, but at least the baby SHOULD be there by then!

Ive stressed myself out so much tonight, I now feel bad about that too. I felt really positive about this pregnancy at first but now I dont, Ive lost all hope now.

How are things progressing with you hun xx

 

[xxCarrieAnnxx]

Mypreciouskid, Please let me know how it progresses for you and how your appointment goes friday if you go xxx FX

 

[greats]

Hang in there hun. I was sure about my dates, went in for an ultrasound expecting to be 6 weeks exactly and I was only 5w2d/5w3d with only a small gestational sac, no yolk or anything. Naturally I freaked out like crazy, expected the worst, cried non-stop for days. I'm 9 weeks exactly today & so far looking good. I'm keeping my FX'd for you, I know this will turn out amazing =)
