9 weeks, no baby in ultrasound, a little scared

Sophia • 23, newlywed usaf wife at a new base, and first time expectant mommy!
I'm supposedly 9 weeks in and just had my first ultrasound today. I was told by the tech that she didn't see a baby at all, but my pregnancy tests are all positive. I was told that it could still be too soon and that my weeks could be off. Took a blood test today but won't find anything out til Monday which seems forever to me. Is this normal? Has this happened to any of you? I'm trying hard not to worry too much but it's difficult. 😔 prayers please.

I was off on my due date. They thought I was 9 weeks and actually I was only 4 1/2 and all we saw was the sac. A few weeks later there was a heartbeat.

With one of mine I had this happen. It turned out I wasn't as far along as they thought and 2 weeks later they checked again and there he was. Keeping you in my prayers. 🙏

Thank you Tracy. It means a lot. I took a blood test to measure my hormone levels to see if it's normal for a pregnancy and I should find out tomorrow hopefully. I will ask about making another appointment for my next ultrasound!

I recieved a phonecall today with results from my second blood test. My hcg level went down to about 1300 and was told I am miscarrying. Going to get an ultrasound tomorrow to confirm it. :( please pray for my husband and I. It's our first pregnancy and loss. Thanks for all the support and positivity. ❤️

This happened to me at 13 weeks xx I think it's called a blighted ovam, when the sac grows but the baby doesn't xx

We saw my baby on ultrasound at 5 weeks 4 days. So I'd say your dates are definitely off

Hi guys, just an update! I received results today and my hcg level is 1550. Not sure what to think of it yet. I went in today again for another blood test to see if it changed and I'm waiting for another phonecall soon!

My dates were way off, according to my lmp I should be about 8 weeks, first scan we couldn't see anything either, second scan we saw the sac and fetal pole, finally today we saw everything including the heartbeat and I was dated at 6 weeks 2 days!!! I was almost 2 weeks off, I must have ovulated late! Hang in there and try not to worry, I know the time drags by chances are everything is fine, you're tests are coming back positive and they didn't see a baby anywhere it's not supposed to be, so give it till Monday and see what your blood work says, it's amazing what even a week can do when it comes to seein things on the ultrasound :-) Hang in there Mama!!
