5 Weeks Pregnant But No Sac In Ultrasound Posted: 03-23-06 19:13pm
I just found out that I am 5 weeks 3 days
pregnant. I went to the doctor and had an
internal ultrasound. The doctor did not
see any sac. They did some blood test on
me to see how my hcg levels were doin, and
I get the results tomorrow. I was just
wondering if anyone else has gone through
this and if it just might be too early to
find the sac in some people.

By 5 weeks they can see a sac, just not
the heartbeat in many situations.
Hopefully the .H.C.G levels are good!

It's *possible* that they just missed the
sac, but it's unlikely.
It's also possible that it's a chemical
pregnancy. Simple explanation is that
the body *thinks* it's pregnant and
elevates hcg without an egg having
actually been fertilized. It's one of
the reasons a period can be late, but the
thing is that the hpt's are so much more
sensitive and accurate now, that they can
actually pick up a chemical pregnancy
where before we would never have known
that hcg levels were elevated for "no
apparent reason."

Well I jsut got back from my doctor today
and the blood tests came out perfectly
fine! He said the reason he couldnt see
the sac was because your hcg levels have
to be around 1500. Mine on the other hand
were only 900, too soon. But they more
then doubled in 2 days so im relieved. I
go in for an ultrasound monday, 3 days
from now. Thank you very much for your
replies.

I hope everything works out for you. I'm
only about four weeks and had u/s done and
they couldnt find anything either. I was
told hcg had to be atleast 3000. I donno.
But I guess my problem is different than
urs. They are trying to rule out ectopic
pregnancy, starting of a m/c, or baby may
be fine. My levels went up sun.(1100)
and mon.(1600). So doc. Said that was
good. But i'm hoping for the best. I
have more blood work thrusday and another
u/s on monday. So I hope everything goes
well for you and they are able to find
something
