Someone please tell me this has happened to them and they still had their baby

Ja

I just went in for an early us at the request of my dr. There was no fetal pole visualized but they dated me at 5w5d. Dr said it could just be too early to see anything at this stage so they want to see me back in a week for more bloodwork and another us. I am already a nervous wreck after losing one last year at 12w2d, then a chemical...now this. I don't understand why they did the us so early if it is possible to be too early to see anything.

Same thing happened with my son at around 5+4, went back a week later and had a baby with a heartbeat. Also, with this pregnancy, had early scan at 5+2 and only saw the gestational sac (no yolk sac), went back at 6+0 and saw little nugget with a heartbeat. You’re just too early. I think that’s why most OBs wait till around 8 weeks or so for an u/s. The early scans can cause unnecessary stress.

Agreed. I think it causes you unnecessary stress. Perhaps there are other things they can watch for a rule out but just don’t mention since it doesn’t show up during the ultrasound.

This is why I don’t understand such early scans. I know it can be comforting if the right thing are seen, but if they aren’t, it causes so much stress. I’m sorry. Just try to stay calm, I’ll bet it’s just too early! Good luck to you. ❤️

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. This has put my mind at ease a little bit. It will still be a long week but I'm looking forward to seeing our little bean next week.

No fetal pole when I went at 5+3, went back 10 days later and had a baby measuring perfectly with a heart beat of 165 😁

That’s early. And even though you’ll be 6wks in a few days, A LOT happens to the baby each day this early in development. I days could be the difference between not seeing anything and seeing something.even at 6wks not everyone sees something. See if you can go back next week

Your way early, don’t worry that scan means nothing right now.This is why I always refuse the super early scans, they are just too scary. Hang in there and wait for your next one, I’m sure you’ll see more next time!
