saw only the gestational sac Posted: 06-04-07 12:09pm


Have any of you done an early u/s and only saw the gestational sac? I did mine at 5 weeks and 4 days due to sharp pains which we found out were due to 2 cysts. The doctor only saw a sac. There was nothing in there that we could see. I am going in again this Wed...Can anyone ease my nerves?

It is a bit early, did you ask the tech ? Most u/s are not done that early. Have you looked up some pics online about what pregnancy should look like around 5weeks. Even though everyone is different, what did your doctor say> ht tp://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancycalen dar/l/blweek5.htm check out that site.

my sister had her first at almost 8 weeks because she didn't know her dates and there was barely anything there. if your dr is happy then you'll be fine

I think it was just to early to see anything. I would bet that you will see something at your follow-up.

I had an u/s at 5 weeks 2 days, and all we saw was the gestational sac. I came back at 7 weeks and there was a nice heartbeat & a speck that was the baby. At 11 weeks, the baby was clearly visible & quite active, waving its arms and legs around. I think you were just early. Some of what you see in an early u/s depends on the quality of the equipment, the skill of the u/s tech, and the shape & position of your uterus (if your uterus is tilted, you may see less in an early u/s).

So we saw the baby and the heat beat at 6 weeks and 6 days, although the baby measured 6 weeks and 3 days so a little behind...hopfully she will catch up. I cant wait to hear the heart beat and see the baby active, CIn1812.
