Blighted ovum or too early to see?

Question

Went in for an unscheduled ultrasound today (6 weeks 5 days) due to some pink spotting I noticed in the afternoon. All we saw on the scan was an empty sac, no fetus, no yolk. The technician basically said it doesn't look good and it's probably a blighted ovum.

When we spoke to the doctor, she told us that it's just too early to tell and we shouldn't lose hope and we can do another ultrasound in two weeks to see if there's a fetus in there. Blood work they did today will hopefully shed more light when we get the results.

Have any of you experienced this? How did it turn out?

Answer

You may have ovulated later than your last period assumes. I saw an empty sac at 5+4 this pregnancy and last. But then a heartbeat a week later.

Answer

Honestly could go either way. I was supposed to be 9 weeks went into u/s measured 6weeks only yolk sac doctor said they should she HB by now and hcg levels are dropping so I will probably miscarry ! Best of luck hon

Ugh I'm in the exact same boat. Went to the dr on Tuesday - I should be 7w1d. I've been told there's a 95% chance is a blighted ovum, but I'm praying for a miracle. I'm so, so saddened by this news. 
The real kick in the nuts is that my HGC levels are still rising like they should. Dr says this is because I could be growing the "baby's house and not the baby". I haven't stopped crying since Tuesday. 
Going back in next week for follow up US and final diagnosis. :(

Answer

Went for ultrasound when we thought I was 6.5 weeks. Didn't see anything but G sac and Y sac. Scheduled another scan two weeks later and saw heartbeat and baby and was timed right at 7wks 3days. Only concern would be no yolk sac, but try not to worry too much. (I know, impossible!!) Best of luck to you!!
