6 Week ultrasound - Worried

6 Week ultrasound - Worried

I just had a 6 week u/s and there was a gestational sac and yolk sac measuring exactly 6 weeks.  But, there wasn't a fetal pole or heartbeat.  Should I be worried that this pregnancy isn't going to make it?

sounds like so far, so good. it's often too early to see fetal pole and hb at 6 weeks. did your dr say anything specific that is making you worry?

Thanks for your response.  No, my doctor said it is too early to determine if all is well or I will miscarry.  I'm bringing the worry on myself because I've already had 2 missed miscarriages.  I'm hoping this one turns out differently! Any one else go through this?

It will be okay, just keep praying and wait, you never know, that baby is hiding from you, girl!

Take it easy and try to not worry, they will probably give you another ultrasound in a week or two.  It took till I was almost 7 weeks for an ultrasound to show anything at all for this pregnancy.

Don't worry too much, it's too early.  I was exactly the same way and I am now 18 weeks and doing great.  A lot will change in a few weeks.

I think early us are a curse as so many of them are inconclusive.  If you have no other symptoms, as in bleeding or bad cramping I think it was a little too early and you will see your bean in a couple of weeks.

When I went for my  first DR visit I thought I was 6 weeks but the ultrasound showed I was 5 1/2 weeks, and the only thing they found was the sac and yolk, but when I went back two weeks later, there was the little bean and a heartbeat of about 10, so do not panic, I am currently 21 weeks, just stay positive.

From my LMP I should be 10 weeks. I had an US on friday and it said i was only 6 weeks.  The us showed everything, a fetus, yolk sak, but no heartbeat. They first told me maybe my dates are wrong and now they are saying it is a miscarriage because of very little spotting. So keep your head up. I have an appointment tomorrow and maybe things will change, maybe I'll hear a heartbeat maybe not.

Thanks everyone! I'm trying to keep my chin up and hope for the best. I have another u/s on Friday, so we'll see how that goes....

JamCourt- I hope you get good news tomorrow!
