So i went in today thinking I was miscarrying or having an ectopic pregnancy. I went in and found out I’m 5 weeks 6 days and not 6 weeks 2 days and on my ultrasound it showed a gestational sac only which my OBGYN said was good (showing 5 weeks 1 day) and was good with my HCG the way the count was. It wasn’t doubling which is why they had me come in early. She said that she can’t confirm if the pregnancy is viable until next week when I go back for another ultrasound but right now based on the ultrasound everything is where it should be.

But the tech said something that bothered me and that was that the sac seems more flat than round at a certain angle when it should be round all the way around.

Has anyone had this happen? It looks like an oval, which I’ve seen with ultrasounds that are further along so I am confused. And she did try to see if there was maybe a heart flutter but there wasn’t. (And at an ultrasound measuring 5 weeks 1 day I didn’t expect to see one.)

Should I be hopeful that there will be progress next week or should I remain cautious. And if anyone has had something like this happen please let me know.
