6 week ultrasound. Showed yolk sac but no fetal pole

[sierrasmom]

Hello. This is my second pregnancy. My first had a little spotting, but other than that, it was a normal helthy pregnancy. I am pregnant again and the doc was a little concerned because my HCG levels were pretty high. (71,000) and 87,000 on the 29th.They did an ultrasound on 9/27, and only saw a sac. They did another one the very next day because of the HCG levels, and were able to see a yolk sac and POSSIBLE fetal pole, but werent certain. They ruled out a ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy, and then to told me that since they ruled those 2 out, my levels were within range. I am 6 weeks 5 days right now, and am not certain if it is very possible to see the embryo right now, and if it is a good sign that they saw a yolk sac. They are doing another u/s friday, and i am really scared because i have never had a miscarriage before

i forgot to mention that i was 5 weeks 4 days, and 1 days shy of 6 weeks with both the ultrasounds. i will be 7 week 1 days on fridays ultrasound!

I think that it is too early to tell.  You are still really early in the pregnancy.  I would wait a few more weeks to start worrying, although, I know that is easier said than done.

This is way to early.Dont worry at least you saw something(mine was ectopic)Wait til next u/s.You will be fine.From what I've heard 5-6 wks is still early,plus your hcg levels look good.Keep us posted,Nanis

too early to tell .  you should be fine on Friday.  good luck

[emma10]

By Friday they should see a heartbeat and everything. You don't need to wait several weeks for that. Best wishes.

I had 3 u/s. 6wk-7wk-8wks...always saw the yolk sac and possible embreyo but no fetal pole or hb on any u/s.

By my 3rd and last u/s it was clear I had to have a d&e.  The placenta appeared to be leaking blood and there was what could have been an early early embreyo but that's it.

Listen to your drs for your health.  I've heard many many success stories here and you could be one.  I unfortunately wasn't but I'm praying for you.

Please let us know how Friday works out for you.

Thank you all for the reassuring words, i am just so worried being that my first pregnancy went so well and i have never experienced losing a baby. Thank you again and i will keep you all posted

during this pregnancy at 5 wks 5 days all they saw on the u/s was a yolk sac and gestational sac no fetal pole. then i went in a week later and everything was fine and i am now 23 weeks. good luck it is real early to see anything

I don't think they can rule out a molar pregnancy yet. I had a molar pregnancy and had a completely normal sonogram at 7 weeks. The only thing was that there was no heartbeat but it didn't look like a molar yet. They just thought I might be earlier than I thought. At 10 weeks the whole sac was full of growths and it was a complete molar. My hcg's were up in the 300,000 range though.

I am not saying yours is a molar but just wanted to share that they cant rule it out that early sometimes.

[sierrasmom]

oh my gosh, now you've got me worried again! I thought they had ruled a molar out. I guess i will just have to see what they see on friday

Need some support of some advice. I had a ultra sound about two weeks ago which showed a sac but no baby. They are doing another one on tuesday and i am really nervous. What are the chances that there will be a baby. The u/s sound showed that i was just shy of 6weeks?

Hi my name is Gaby I am 7 weeks now last friday I went to do an u/s due to bleeding the results were not good because they see 2 separate gestational sac 1 sac no contain fetal pole and no cardiac activity, the other sac is good aparantely are twins but one is not going to make it I have twins they are 7 year now and feel soo terrible for my my baby thatt did not make it but thank God at least I am going to have one

I had the same situation when I went for my ultrasound with the exact week as you are.  the doctor said everyting is fine anyway and that I just have to wait a little longer to see it because of a tilted uterus.  My next doctor's appointment won't be till 25th and it;s dragging.  I am now 9weeks 4days along and feeling normal except for morning sickness in the evenings.  I know how you feel.. I even bought a doppler that is not working for the at the moment. :( iguess due to tilted back uterus again

[Molar_or_multiples]

At 6 weeks, you are still too early to really hear a heartbeat or to see a baby.  Most of the time, they can see a sac at that point.  And heart develops in this week, so be patient.  But at 7 weeks, it should be (not always certain) visible an audible.  So you have to wait a little longer.  Sorry about the waiting game but I am in a similar situation.  I am at 5 weeks and have to wait 2 more weeks to find out a few things...if it's normal, multiple, or molar!  Please pray it's a good, viable pregnancy.

hi ladies i started cramping at work today, so i called my dr they made me an appt for a radiologist. when i went  i was so upset they saw yolk sac measuring 6weeks 2 days but no baby. my last menstrual period was 1/14/09. im suppose to be 7 weeks 6 days by lmp. i had to go dr office after i left there to get blood wrk done and gotta repeat in 48 hrs. then have to go back for u/s tuesday. im so scared.  i hope and pray everything is goin to be alright.

[uslack2]

Im confused. I went in for what the doctors thought was my 6-7 week ultrasound to look for a heart beat. The doctors then realized that I was only 4.5 weeks along. I went back a week later to make certain everything was ok. The sac grew and you could see I guess what is the fetal pole but no heart beat yet. I started to spot over the weekend and went in this morning. A midwife who really doesnt know how to do a proper ultrasound did one and all we saw was an empty sac. Is this possible? Can you go from a nice sac with the ring around it and fetal pole to nothing....a black circle with nothing in it anymore? She wasn't certain I am miscarrying but she thinks I will. They drew blood but I have to go back on Wed for more and comparison. Anyone....advice???

i am 5 weeks 4 days and they saw a gest sac , yolk sac but no fetal pole is this normal i am worried b/c i had a miscariage a year ago..  this is my second pregnancy.

[lisa3705]

according to lmp i should be 9.5 weeks today but went for u/s today they saw a sac that measured 1.9 cm they only saw a gestational sac and a yolk sac.  I was advised by the doctor to be scheduled for a D&C.. On 6-22-09 my hcg was 450,6-24-09 my hcg was 2000, on6-25-o9 it was 3000  on 7-07-09 it  was 14000. I opted to wait because my hcg were high. So be patient  and put it all in God's hand he knows best. I to ha d4 miscarriages and 2 ectopic pregnancy.
