Empty sac or wrong due date?

Question

Hello, I am wondering if someone has ever been through something similar to me! I have never tracked my periods before, so I am not positive on my LMC. I had an estimated date which put me at 7+1. I had my first ultrasound today & all we saw was an empty sac. I was devastated & crying as the ultrasound tech told me she couldn’t say much. My doctor called me & said I am measuring at 5+4. I got blood work today & am getting more blood work Thursday and another ultrasound in a week! He said we should be able to see a fetal pole next week. Has this ever happened to anyone? I was so upset & am still a little scared but am hoping this sounds like a little better news? 
If you have been through something similar, what was the outcome of the empty sac? Earlier than thought or miscarriage?

Answer

Try not to worry. My cycles have been way off so when I got my positive I thought I was about 7 weeks. Went for a scan and the tech said she didn't see anything but possibly a sac. My Dr did blood work and sent me a week later and found out that I was indeed pregnant and the yolk sac and gummy bear was seen with a heart beat. My dates were off and when I thought o was about 7ish weeks I was really 5 weeks. I am now 24 weeks 😊

Answer

A year ago I had my last period on sept 19. The only reason I know this for a fact is because my birthday is sept 18. So on nov 15th I should have been 8 weeks but they only saw two empty sacs. I was devastated! They took a blood test and my levels were almost 20,000. They were cautiously optimistic. Turns out I must have ovulated late and was only 5 weeks. Went back two weeks later and saw the fetal pole and heartbeat. I now have a beautiful 3 month old baby boy 💙 it happens more than you think!

Answer

No worries same happen to me my first pregnancy it’s to early that’s all I went back 4 weeks later and the was a baby and a heart beat. Don’t stress..... it’s just early the sac is first then the baby starts forming

Answer

I first time I went they thought I was around 8 or 9 weeks. I was actually 4 weeks and 6 days. And all we saw was the sac. I’ll be 11 weeks on Friday and last week our baby was measuring 10 weeks and 1 day and is growing the way that it should!

Answer

I had a blighted Ovum at 12 weeks . I experienced bleeding & went to the women’s hospital just to make sure i was ok . I went for my ultrasound & i had a empty sac & they told me i was starting to miscarry .

Answer

This happened to me my HCG managed to rise to 1535 and I was 9 weeks when I went for my first ultrasound. During the ultrasound only an empty SAC was showing. I was told I could be early because I wasn’t to sure on my period. My on asked me if I still felt pregnant but I didn’t my boobs were no longer sore or hard and I was no longer peeing often. I started experiencing cramps and brown spotting and miscarried two days after. 
This may not be your case though, due dates are never 100% so you may very well be early. Don’t stress or think negative. Good Luck !

Answer

Happened to me. I went at 7w4d but was measuring 6w2d. But baby caught up by 12 weeks I was measuring based on my lmp which would be 13 weeks.
