Try not to worry. It is common for them to not be able to see anything but a sac at this gestational age. As for the cysts...Well, There would be two reasons for them. Reason one: The meds that they had you on before your iui made you produce cysts. A very common side effect. Reason two: It is a luteal cyst and is there because they can sometimes swell after fertilization instead of dissipating like normal. Either way. They hurt like a b. I know...All you can do is relax. Movement can cause the pain to worsen or even rupture the cyst. (talk about mind numbing pain) So no unneeded physical activity. Period.

In the meantime, I will keep you in my prayers hun.

I'm with you all the way!

IF you are in a lot of pain the doctor might prescribe you some tylenol 3. You might want to ask if it would be acceptable for you.

Did they happen to tell you how big the cysts were or if there was any free fluid?

Im sure your baby will be fine.
I had an ultra sound done at 5 weeks and 5 days and there was a yolk sac but no baby. i had another ultra sound done last week just to make sure everything was ok and that was when we seen a baby and a heartbeat and everything. So, its normal to see just a yolk sac at 5 weeks.

I'm sure everything is ok sweetie. I can only imagine how nervous you would be, but from what other girls have said on this site about the sac, it sounds like it is ok to not see anything but the sac. I will keep you in my prayers that everything will be ok.

thank you ladies...
I miss you guys Star and Mc. I have been going through quite a bit emotionaly and having flashbacks due to my last 2 m/c. I just pray and talk to god all the time...

likeaDream, how far where you when they saw the baby and the heartbeat?

Did the doctor think the cysts would affect the baby? I had a really huge cyst, like a big tumour, that had to be removed when I was 22 weeks along. They found it when I was 20 weeks and it was taking up so much room the baby couldn't grow but other than that the baby was fine. I hope everything turns out okay for you and baby. Good luck, I'll pray for you.

Thank you kaerbear,
The doctor said it should resolve on it's own. One was soooooo big even he was surprised. At this point he needs to make sure I have a healthy pregnancy first since he couldn't really see much but the sack. I think once that is confirmed he will watch my cysts and if needed then take it out. My next appointment is next Wed. That is when they will tell me if the pregnancy is working or not. I will be 6 1/2 weeks then.

i was exactly 8 weeks when they let me hear the heartbeat and you could see a little baby on the screen. That was last week so iam 9 weeks now.
But, i was so worried at the first ultra sound at 5 weeks 5 days when they said either the pregnancy isnt progressing or iam just a less amount of weeks than i thought. So, if you are for sure 5 weeks and 5 days then its perfectly normal to just see the yolk sac. im sure your baby will be fine. My due date was originally december 25th and it is now pushed up to january 3rd because of the fact that i must have ovulated later in my cycle and thought my pregnancy was farther along.

I just came home from a healthy baby prenatal program thingy and they had this book with life size pics of the baby at different stages. The 6 week old baby was smaller than a grain of rice. Like between a grain of rice and a sesame seed. l.o.l. So don't worry too much if the doc couldn't see anything. Baby would still be pretty tiny.

Thanks you guys.

I am confused about something though. yolk sac is different than the sac right? Cause all he saw was the pregnancy sac and there was nothing inside? I was looking so hard for somethin in there

ohh. im not sure if the yolk sac and pregnancy sac are different. maybe it is..but at 5 weeks and 5 days i seen the yolk sac and gestational sac.

They are different in all of the pics I have seen. Here is one I found on the web. I don't know if this will get removed or not but it was the best picture I could find.

OH yeah, and in some of the pics I've seen the yolk sac looks bigger than the fetus and in others it is smaller, I guess it all depends on the age of the fetus.

The yolk sac is the first element seen in the gestational sac during pregnancy, usually at 5 weeks gestation.

It is a critical landmark, identifying a true gestation sac.

It is quite echogenic (light) to ultrasound, and reliably seen early.

A membranous sac attached to an embryo, providing early nourishment and functioning as the circulatory system of the human embryo before internal circulation begins.

Yeah, I'm bored and I can't sleep.
