Sac but no baby?

Question

According to my last period I’m supposed to be 6 weeks today. I went to get an ultrasound and had the sac but no baby was seen. My test are coming out darker and darker though. I’ve had an ectopic pregnancy before but that didn’t go last 5 weeks and I had heavy heavy bleeding and no symptoms. This time I’ve had a few symptoms that have gotten worse in the last 3 days. Dr said everything is fine and I just need to go back for another ultrasound in two weeks but I’m so scared of it being another ectopic pregnancy. Has this every happened to anyone? The ultrasound wasn’t vaginal

Answer

Same. With my son (he is now 12) I had gotten pregnant sometime in Nov and didnt know. I had been feeling like crap and ended up in the hospital for crazy bleeding and horrible cramping. That was in mid Jan. I didnt feel like I had any pregnancy symptoms and I had irregular periods so theres that. They said I was pregnant called it a blighted ovum. So there was a sac but no baby. I made an appointment with my ob for the following week did another sono and still no baby so I made a follow up that next week and nothing yet again. At that point we decided that I'd sign paperwork for a dnc and come back in 2 weeks. Went back Doctor did another sono and BAM my baby was right there! Praying for you 🙏

Answer

It's too early to see anything definite, especially if it's not transvaginal.

Answer

This is why most drs wait to bring you in until 8 weeks so you can actually see the baby and heart rate. I think this just causes unnecessary worry for mamas 😞

Answer

If there’s a sac and it’s in your uterus, then the chances of ectopic are pretty slim I think. It might be a blighted ovum, which would explain the rising HCG even if there’s no fetus.
Hoping they see something more substantial at your next scan! ❤️

Answer

If the sac was in the right place, then that's where the baby will be, it should not be ectopic 😉
They also could not see my baby on week 6... One more week to wait and see 😊

Answer

This was my 6 week ultrasound. I thought I was 7 weeks according to my LMP. but I ovulated late and was measuring 6 weeks. Just the yolk sac was seen but no baby. I went back a week later and my little growing bean had a heart rate of 126. Good things take time I guess! I hope you little bean grows quick too. Good luck! 😊
