Question

is it possible to be 17 weeks pregnant w no baby on ultrasound?!

Look, they're not going to miss something the size of a mango on ultrasound at 17 weeks. You're not pregnant.

Answer

You keep asking this, I swear. Stop... You aren't pregnant.

Answer

Molar pregnancy is where you will grow a mass but it will not be a baby..

Answer

There's a special name for this, and I'm totally blanking on it now...

Your body thinks you're pregnant, but you're not.  You will test positive, gain wait, the whole nine!  But the placenta will be empty.  It happened to a friend of mine a few years ago.

Did the doctor explain this to you?  I'm fairly certain you need medication/a procedure now to take care of it

Answer

Phantom pregnancy. You are making yourself think you are pregnant & you aren't

Answer

Sounds like a hysterical pregnancy ...

Answer

There's something called Molar pregnancy, it's where HCG is produced but you don't have a baby, it's actually very rare to be pregnant with a baby and have a molar pregancy. It's basically a growth of cystic placental tissue that rapidly grows in the uterus. They can be detected by blood work where the HCG level isn't as high as it's supposed to be at the gestational stage it's supposed to be, they can also detect it by ultrasound where it just looks like a cluster of grapes,hope that helps❤

Answer

My mom had a pregnancy right before she got pregnant with my sister. Everything was there (placenta, amniotic fluid, etc) except the baby. Her OB just let her body flush itself out basically. It's possible though, unfortunately.

Answer

There can be number of things which can cause this. It can either be that you are pregnant, you have a phantom pregnancy or you have a cysts on your ovaries. These are only three things that I am aware of that can cause a positive pregnancy test. It makes no sense for no baby to be seen at this stAge in a pregnancy on ultrasound. A baby has its first heartbeat at around 6 weeks gestation and you are saying you are over 4 months pregnant, almost halfway. This doesn't seem quite right.

Answer

You could be having a false pregnancy which is where you want to be pregnant so badly you trick your mind and body into believing you are and you start to get symptoms of actually being pregnant when in reality you aren't
