Sac but no baby ????

Question

Hi guys - wondering if anyone can work this out better than me pls??

So... Here goes lol.
My last period started 20th January this year.i have a normal 28 day cycle every month.

I found out I was pregnant on the 18th Feb.

I Worked out dates going by first day of last period , this resulted my due date being 26th October.

This would make me 8 weeks this week.

I have been light/medium spotting for around a week blood being purple/brown and sometimes a light pink but no fresh blood.

I was sent to early pregnancy unit where they scanned me and there was a sac and yolk but no baby.

Seeing as I was meant to be 8 weeks they said is unusual no baby BUT my sac was measuring only 11mm instead of the normal 25mm size at 8 weeks. The sac being that small indicates I would only be 5 weeks and 4 days.

Am worried now as I'm 100% sure of my period dates and now worried it's a failed pregnancy?!? Have another scan in 14 days to see if sac has grown and a baby has appeared. What's everyone's take on this???

Answer

I was very off on my due date/how far along I was as well. I was on birth control then stopped taking it for a month. I got pregnant that month (surprise!), but since I stopped taking the pill, it threw my ovulation out of whack. I conceived two weeks after I thought I had. Good luck on your next appointment! I hope all goes well

Hi.. I had similar issue as you.. My lmp was 27 jan 2016. I should be 8w1d when i went for u/s. But the u/s measured me as 7w1d. We only saw gestational sac 22mm and yolk sac 6mm. No fetal pole was seen. My doc suspects blighted ovum. I'm so upset but decided to wait for a few more weeks.

Answer

The same thing g happened to me. Light bleeding and cramping... went for us was sure I was 6 weeks 6 days scan showed only a sac they put me at 5weeks 2 days which seemed impossible as my last period was the 22nd Jan... the bleeding stopped after 6 days went for a scan 10days after the first one and there was a strong healthy heart beat I'm now waiting for my 12 week scan! I know how u feel it's awful this is my 3rd pregnancy last 2 ended in miscarriages. Look after yourself and keep us posted ❤ good luck x

Answer

There u go lynn

Answer

Happen to me 2x, both ended up being blighted ovums. 3rd time was the charm, now 11 weeks. After 2 I was stressed at my 5 week ultrasound but was relieved to finally not see a empty sac. Never give up!

Answer

I'm going through the same! I hate this waiting game!

Answer

At exactly 9 weeks (monday) ultrasound showed blighted ovum. So, now I have to wait to miscarry and if nothing by Wednesday they'll schedule a d&c... Worst fears confirmed. Guess we wait and try again later

Answer

I'm going through the exact same thing! Went in at 7w2d and there was no baby or yolk sac, and a small gestational sac that measured to be less than 5w... the doctor said this could mean bad news...... however my hcg is going up as expected so the doctor is hopeful that I am just off on my days.

Good luck to you, It's so scary and hard to wait.

Answer

Feel like I'm defo miscarrying as bleeding heavily and period type pains

Answer

Same boat!! Went in at what should've been 7 weeks due to some brownish spotting, and the US showed I was more like 5 weeks and my hcg the same thing. Few days later it had doubled so they weren't super concerned but going back tomorrow for more blood work and another US...waiting sucks!! But she said I could've possibly ovulated later than I thought too...
