I went to the doctor yesterday for a
confirmation of pregancy. I was just
guessing that i was around 7 wks pregant
but i wasn't quite sure. They did an
internal ultrasound and their was only a
sac and saw no baby. the sac was only
measuring 5wks two days. should i be
worried? I am just praying that i was off
on my dates and that i am really only 5wks
pregant. they did my blood work and my HCG
levels were at 4,787. is it normal to
just see a sac? I am freaking out and
crying...

don't worry. I had the same thing. My
first docs appt I measured a little over 4
weeks and there was only a sac...then the
second week he had me come in again, and
there was STILL only a sac. I was
freaking out just like you. Finally on the
third week, third u/s we saw our little
baby. I just gave birth to him on Monday,
healthy, strong baby boy. Just give it
time that little baby will show up on that
screen and it'll be a happy day.
Try not to worry too much.. your dates
could just be off by 2 weeks & if
that's the case, your baby isn't big
enough to see yet. Has your doctor
scheduled you for another ultrasound in
the next couple of weeks?

Yes, they scheduled another ultrasound for
July 9th. So a little less then 2weeks. I
am really nervous. The doctor said by then
that we should definitely see something
because if I'm 5wks and 2days I will be
over 7 by then and should see something.
It's going to be a long two weeks. I'm
also goign back in on Monday to have my
HCG levels tested again to make sure that
my levels are increasing.. i'm praying
they will since they were 4,787 yesterday.
Isn't that pretty high to have a blighted
ovum??

I just wanted to say best of luck with
everything. I know on my transvaginal
ultrasound at 6w 3d there was both an
embryo and a sac visible, but apparently
alot of women have trouble finding the
baby. They say it's generally because the
sac is so much larger that the baby is
often hiding behind it. Just stay positive
and hang in there until your ultrasound

The shape and location of the sac itself,
and the presence of a yolksac are also
important factors of a healthy early
pregnancy. Usually when we see an empty
sac once, we have the patient come in for
a follow up within a week to 10 days. By
then there usually should be a fetal pole
and heart beat. A heart beat should be
seen by 7 weeks most definately on vaginal
ultrasound. Hopefully your dates were just
a bit off causing for the empty sac. Good
luck

they were not able to see my baby until 6
wks. When i got an u/s at 4 wks preg.
they could only see a sac.
Don't worry!
