8 wk U/S no fetal pole

8 wk U/S no fetal pole

I had my 8 week u/s today.  We were able to see the Sac but no fetal pole.  I m/c in april at 5 weeks.  The dr stated that it is possible that I may be later than I think or that I will m/c again.  Has this happened to anyone else?  I go back in 10 days to either confirm or emilinate option #1.

I went for an u/s at 9w, dates were all right.  They saw a sac 6w6d and saw nothing else - blighted ovum.  I m/c on June 16.  It is possible that your dates are wrong.  This happens to many women, you could also have a blighted ovum.  It is a waiting thing right now and it is so hard to wait - I know.  Keep your head up, I think it may just be too early.

It just happened to me on Thursday.  Because I have been on this borad reading so much about people waiting a week or two and going back and seeing a heartbeat.  I was 8w2d and they saw the sac and fetal pole but no heart beat.  I asked her if my dates could be off and that it's too early to see a heartbeat and she told me no because they would see a heartbeat at 5 weeks and the fetal pole was measuring at 6w3d and I was having an internal sonogram.  This is my second m/c in 6 months time and I new both times that something was completely wrong, I know my body pretty well.

I also had a blighted ovum and I did 3 u/s (6, 7 & 8 weeks) and there was never anything but a sac - no fetal pole or heart beat.  It was very sad for me esp since this was my first pregnancy.  I ended up doing a d&c 6 weeks ago.  I take comfort in knowing that this is nature's way of ensuring a healhtly child.  God bless you.

I am so sorry waiting that you had to go through that.  And Jen I had a blighted ovum too!  The worst thing in the world is to think you have a baby inside you and there is nothing but a sac and body is telling you and your mind you have a baby, but it was lost.

I am in a similar situation. I had an ultrasound at 5 weeks 2days. They saw a sac and possibly a fetal pole. But the problem is that my last bloodwork on Thurs was off. My HGC levels had only gone up by 23% instead of the 66% it was supposed to and my progersterone levels went down. The Dr id concerned I might miscarry...I'm 43 so I know my chances of miscarriage are higher...and I had one in Feb. Has anyone had this experience before?

What was the measurement?  Were you measuring 8 weeks?  Are you scheduled for another ultrasound in a week?  It's rare, but sometimes our little ones do funny things and all is well a week later.  It's really hard to say.  I don't know what you were measuring though, and that does make a difference.  So you didn't see a heartbeat?

I went in after a very bad ultrasound and my doctor told me that it was vital we saw a heartbeat.  I was supposed to be eight weeks, but measured six weeks.   My dates were not wrong, my baby just didn't grow for two weeks.  We don't know why.  There was a heartbeat.  My doctor still told me I might miscarry, but it was a good sign.  If there had been no heartbeat he would have scheduled a D&C.

Try to hang in there until your next scan.  I assume it is in a week.

At 6 weeks, 2 days I had a transvaginal ultrasound and was told that I was either way off on my dates and I'm much earlier than I thought or I have a blighted ovum.  I knew I wasn't off on my dates, so I was told that I should expect a period soon.  At 8 weeks, I had no bleeding or cramping and I went for another transvaginal ultrasound and there was a sac, but no yolk sac or fetal pole.  I was told that I was definitely miscarrying and a D&C and cytotec were both suggested.  I told my doctor I wanted to wait, if it was safe to do so, and let my body do what it needed to do on its own.  There was no bleeding or cramping and at 9 weeks, 5 days, he sent me for another ultrasound and there was a baby.  I think this is pretty rare, but I'm glad I waited.

Well, now that you've heard all of this bad news, let me give you a glimmer of hope. My friend went in for an u/s at 8 weeks, and all they could see was a sac. Her doctor had her come back a week later, and they found the heartbeat. She's now 11 or 12 weeks along, and all is well.

I don't know what your outcome will be, but I just wanted you to know that it's possible the u/s was done a little early.

I had almost the exact same situation.  Our ultasound was 8/22 and all of my dates say that I should be 7 weeks 3 days, but the u/s said I measured 5 weeks 3 days.  We have a very well formed sac, but no yolk sac.  Maybe we're just early, hopefully.

This is my first pregnancy. I'm sad, because it just doesn't seem like there is a whole lot of hope out there.  I understand about nature's way and everything.  I think I let myself get too excited about the possiblities.

We go back for a follow-up in ten days, too. September 1.  Good luck to you.  I hope everything works out.

I know your followup appointmant is tomorrow, how are you feeling?  What has you week been like?  Any changes in your physiology?

Our follow up is also tomorrow.  I'm tense about going in.  I wish I could just know and not have to go through it.  How's that for being a head in the sand kinda girl?  My symptoms have gotten more intense the past five or six days, more nauseau, where I had previously had none, headaches (mild) and overall exhaustion.  

Just thought I would check in and see how you are and let you know that I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.  Good luck.

I am going through a very similar situation and it is SO REFRESHING to see this forum. On Wednesday I had my 1st ultrasound and I was told by the dr. (gauging from the last period) that I was around 10 weeks pregnant. Well the ultrasound tech said that I looked more like 6.5 to 7 weeks. The tech did the tummy and vaginal ultrasounds and we could see the [irregular shaped] sac, but no yolk, fetal pole or heartbeat. My husband and I were devestated. Yesterday we went to the drs. office to talk to the dr. and she said that it could be a blighted ovum or missed abortion, and already scheduled me for a pre-op for the d&c for next friday, 9/8. My husband and I think that this is all to quick. Should I at least have my HCG levels tested??? What about a 2nd ultrasound??? Do you guys think that the ultrasound may have been done a little too early and maybe a second ultrasound would show a heartbeat and pole? i had my blood drawn today to test the hcg levels, but the results won't be in until tuesday and today is friday. it's going to be a looongg wait.  The dr. did not suggest either the 2nd ultrasound or testing the hcg levels. I just learned about asking about these things from the forums that I have been reading. I have had cramping on and off since I found out that I was pregnant and today the cramping has been consistent and moderate not mild. I have had absolutely no bleeding since finding out that i was pregnant. anyone please help with some advice. i am a realists, but i can't help but to still be hopeful and continue to pray about this.

I went in for my first u/s today too and was supposed to be 10 weeks along.  They only saw yolk sac and nothing else.  They did send me to the lab after my appointment to get my hcg levels checked and again in 48 hours.  They will consult with me after those results come in as to my options.  I hate waiting, and since my first pregnancy went so smoothly, it is disappointing that I have to go through this, but I am trying to stay positive.  I don't know if my dates were off or what happened, but if I have to have a D&C, then it wasn't meant to happen this time.  I wish you luck.

hi all!  I am also in a similiar situation.  On 9/1 I had my first u/s and they saw a yold sac but no heartbeat, they also measured me at only 7 weeks instead of 8 weeks.  On 9/2 I went for bloodwork to check my HCG levels.  My doctor was concerned that they did not double (they went from 41000 to 67900).  Today 9/12 I have a follow-up ultrasound to see if anything changed.  I am trying to remain positive while preparing for the worse.  Has this happened to anyone else?  I was told if nothing changed I would need to schedule for a D & C.

Hi everyone.  I just went for my first doctor's visit today and did not get good news.  I should be around 10 weeks, but the vaginal ultrasound showed that I was only 8 weeks and 2 days.  Also, there was no heartbeat.  The doctor said that it didn't look good but to give it a week.  The nurse told me that this is very common.  I'm unsure about having a D&C, but I'm not real comfortable about having to go through all the pain of a natural miscarriage.  Just wondering how long I should wait to consider a D&C if a natural miscarriage doesn't occur.  I was also wondering if it was possible that there could be a heartbeat in a week.  It was so exciting to get to see my little baby on the ultrasound and then so devastating to hear the doctor say that he couldn't find a heartbeat and there was no fetal movement.  I do believe in God and I know that these things happen for a reason, it's just so hard to understand them.  I try and gain my composure, but it seems like all I can do is cry.  My husband was with a woman before me and they have a child together.  We have full custody of his daughter.  Her mom has 4 kids by 3 different dad's.  And, she also has had an abortion.  She didn't have any problems having any of her kids and yet she doesn't have custody of any of them.  I guess what seems to be bothering me the most is that I want to have a child so bad, and I know I would be a great mom.  It's just hard to understand why God would let the people that don't even want kids have them and then it's so hard for the people that would actually be a good parent.

I have had 2 blighted ovums.  And the most recent was March 06.  I am preg. again 7 wks along.  At 5 wks and 2 days I had an u/s done and I finally saw fetal pole.  I was really excited.  I went through two hard m/c and the only thing I can tell you is to relax, take care of your self and if you are going to miscarry, keep trying and don't give up.  I will put you in my prayer list and I send my blessing for you and your baby

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) 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. I am 6 weeks 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 next friday, and i am really scared because i have never had a miscarriage before

Please help.  I am so confused. As of today, I'm supposed to be around 7 weeks 3 days pg according to my LMP cycle (which is ~33 days).  I had an U/S done last Friday 9/29.  They saw the gestational sac, yolk sac and some tissue that they thought may be the start of a fetal pole.  The sac was measuring 5w 5days on Friday when I was 6 weeks 4 days pregnant.  No heartbeat.  My HCG level was 3980 the day before that U/S.  

I went in for a repeat U/S today and still no heartbeat.  The sac measured at 6 weeks 4 days.  The radiologist thought that the sac was irregular in shape but the yolk sac was perfectly formed.  What they thought was a fetal pole on the previous U/S did not look like it today.  My doctor has ordered a repeat HCG just to check if my levels are rising.  I'm SOO confused and distraught.  I had a very normal and easy pregnancy with my dd 2 years ago.  Had a chemical preg in May 2006.  I so wanted this to happen.  Do you think it's just that my dates are off?  The thing is, I know when we conceived.  It was Aug 28th.  So if I go by that then the fetal age  should only be around 6 weeks.  But still there should be a heartbeat right?  I hate this waiting game.  I have the symptoms of pg -- m/s, achy breasts, etc..

Anyone has any idea?

I am a 26 yr old mother of 3. This would be my fourth. Had an u/s earlier this week. Baby should be 6 weeks, 3 days, was measuring 5 weeks 4 days, this time, 2 gestational sacs were seen w/ a little bit of blood around one. The dr does not see any yolk sacs or babies or heartbeats. He wants to redo the u/s on monday, 7 days later. If there are no babies, he said we might have a problem. I am so scared! Does anyone have anything uplifting to tell me? I'm so depressed.

I am 39 years old and pregnant.  I had to have U/S done at 7 weeks because my HCG levels high, possible multiple's.  At that U/S only one sac and yolk seen and no fetal pole. I was scheduled to have bloodwork again that day and come back in a week for another U/S. HCG levels still climbing.  I went for 8 week U/S and no change, Sac still empty. I have had no bleeding or cramps.  My Dr. has scheduled me for D&C Tuesday. I have read some post that say they went back at 11 weeks and a fetus seen? Do I wait it out or go through with D&C.  I had a blighted ovum last year at seven weeks.  Could this be a repeat?

Thanks for your comments.

I would love to know anyone's opinion on what to do here.  I measured 5w5d one week, then another sonographer measured me 9 w2d a 9 days later.  I have a yolk sac but no fetal pole.  I think I should be in line with the first scan.  I am booked in for a D and C this week, when I think I should be 8 weeks.  Am really confused.  My yolk sac is 6mm.

My wife was supposed to be 7 weeks on september 3rd. We know that because we have to do invitro. She had a very small sac at week 6, however, at week 7 the sac was a little bigger but not really anything of substance visible, and thee sac size measured at 4 weeks. We are struggling with giving up but all these signs point towards having faith in God. Does anyone have a similar good/bad experience?

I'm worried because I had my first ultrasound last week and I measured 6wk6day. The doctor didn't hear a heartbeat and only saw a sac. She thinks I may be having a molar pregnancy or a miscarriage. I haven't had any cramping, but I have been spotting. The doc advises me to have a D&C but I'm not sure if I can go through with that yet. My HcG levels didn't double in 2 days like they should've. Does anyone have any advice? I have another ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday and will be having more lab work done. Thanks for the support! I am a nervous wreck because this is my first pregnancy and I do not want to have a miscarriage!

I am having  a very similar and scary experience!  I went in last Weds, October 21, 2009 for what I thought was my 8 week u/s.  The doctor found a empty sac and blood clot.  I am preparing for the worst but haven't had bleeding or cramping.  We go back this Weds.  My prayers are with all in a similar situation and ask for yours in return!

I just went and had an u/s yesterday.  My doctor only saw the sac, so he sent me to the hospital to have a better u/s done.  The results came back and he said the sac measured at 8w and the fetal pole at 6w1d.  I am almost 100% certain 8 weeks is exact.  We also didn't hear a heartbeat.  I am so nervous.  He told me to wait a week and come back.  

He told me that the outlook is not good... any thoughts or good news please????

Hi everyone! This is my 1st pregnancy and I'm really confused and concerned! My lmp was 2/9. I took 2 hpt's on 3/10-the one was cheaper and showed a very faint line after 5 min so we took a digital which said pregnant. I had some very little bleeding from 3/14-3/16. Had an U/S on 3/5-i was supposed to be 8 wks but it showed I was 4.3 wks-a sac but no fetal pole. Got blood work done. 3/6 it was 360ish and yesterday 3/8 it only went up to 420ish. is that normal that it didn't dbl in 2 days? I go back on mon 3/12 but I'm going crazy! Could I poss be just 4.3 wks and have the low hormone levels? They said its either a normal, abnormal pregnancy or miscarriage-which I haven't had any bleeding or cramping. They are pretty confident its not an ectopic pregnancy bc my uterus IS enlarged and the US showed my ovaries and kidneys look good. Please help!!

My wife had a miscarriage 2 months ago and we got very excited that she became pregnant last month. We went for a U/S a few weeks ago and the sack with the yolk was there. We were so happy. This past thursday, there was so sign of a heartbeat and we were devastated because my wife's doctor looked at the monitor, looked at us, and began talking about a D and C. Last week would be 8 weeks. We were and still are in a state of shock and devastated. We scheduled for a U/S next week to be sure thinking that our dates are messed up; especially since her last cycle included the miscarriage. We are holding up hope but I must admit that it's really hard especially since her doctor called the last miscarriage.

After reading these stories I have also decided to wait to have my d&c. I first found out I was pregnant and we figured it out to be around 6wks according to the last period, they gave me all the blood work and said everything looked fine and healthy when I started spotting for 2 days they had me get an u/s and when they did they said I had my dates wrong I had to be less than 5 weeks (my husband is in the army so he was away half of the month so the last time I could have conceived was May 6th, but not really too sure when) thats all they said and to come back in 2 weeks. The next u/s they told me the bad news that I must of miscarried but the sac was there and the yolk sac but no fetal pole, so I think he met Im gonna be miscarrying they also said they measured my sac to be 8wks 1d anyways though i went back to my doctor and told him what the u/s place told me and he told me that everything developed but the fetal pole never developed and that the best actions were the natural miscarry, d&c, or the med that makes u miscarry within 48 hours. He wanted to schedule me for a d&c the very next day!  After researching, I have decided to wait. I just wonder why havent they gaven me other test like my HcG levels or anything and just told me to expect it, I haven't been cramping or bleeding and still have morning sickness, sore breasts, and some but Im not sure if thats just my body thinking Im still pregnant. I have had a miscarriage 2 years ago too so I know what it feels like, I'm just scared and sad, but want to have hope, should I get a second opinion? Or am I just in denial?

Hi, Tellyryd,

Just wondering what the outcome of your story is.  I am seven weeks and today I went for my first ultrasound.  They said that it may be too early because there was a sac and a yolk, but no baby.  I want to just over it up and trust in God for my outcome, but I am also interested to hear how things ended up with you and some others who posted a while back.  I hope everything did end well for you.  It is such an emotional time.

hi, i am 7w 3d  and had my second ultrasound today, they said that my gestational sac was empty, but two weeks earlier(5w,4d) when i had my first ultrasound done, a yolk sac was detected! I am so confused and sad as this is my first pregnancy and i dont understand how they can see something one minute and then it vanish.
(Also my HCG levels are still rising, and still have preg symptoms)

I was 9wk 4days as of yesterday. I have a 6 year old son. I have never miscarried before. My husband and I went to have the first vginal US yesterday. There was no heart beat. The baby measured 8 weeks and a few days.  The docotor told us our options... D&C, Meds to force a miscarriage and wait it out. I am so emtionally drained. My son was completely unexpected and the father was not the man God intended for me. But even with physical abuse, the pregnancy was carried out with out problems. I just married my husband on Oct 23 and that is the night we conceived. We ere so excited to grow our family. We decided to allow for a natural miscarraige (miscarriage) before doing anything medically. I have read all these posts and want to have hope that our baby could still be alive and growing. I am confused as many have been. I am certain I will have another U/S if I have no bleeding. I have had cramping the entire pregnancy. I have always had stomach problems, IBS symtoms (symptoms) and such. There has been so much gas and problems with bowl movements, I can't be certain it isn't just digestion issues. I wish everyone well with there own pregnancies. My mom told me to read through some of the posts like these. I did not intend to but I am thankful I have! I will keep praying that God's plan is carried out no matter what!

I went in for my 5th week u/s. But the technician said because it was such an early stage I couldn't see the baby. This is my first pregnancy i didnt really know anything about miscarriage.so I wasn't worried at all. Last Friday I went in for my 8 th week scan I still couldn't see the fetal pole or heart beat. Technician did both  internal and external scan but there was no fetal pole or heart beat. The sac was measured 1.1cm but it was supposed to be about 2-3cm. I was told to come back  in couple of weeks time. She also mentioned baby can be seen when the size is over 2 cm. I started to think this wasn't right . later my midwife called me and saying that the u/s didn't look good. Here in new zealand, you go in for u/s and they send the scan to the midwife. I was devastated. She said give it a week or so to see if there is any glimps of hope. Also I was advised to get a blood test to check if I was still pregnant. But blood test didn't make any sense. The fetal pole wasn't there but the sac was growing. My hormone says 'yes you are still pregnant'. It was like end of the world. I tried to think what I did wrong. For some reason I had had a diahrrea and mild fever for almost a month.  That night I had bleeding-bright red.  Me and my partner went to ER straight away. they said there is nothing they could do at that stage and sent me back home. I thought they should at least scan me to make sure it was a miscarriage but apparently they were too busy. I was so confused and angry but I didnt want to fight With nurses aalso i want well. So i came hom. Since then I have been bleeding(not heavily) and saw clots( I guess that was my baby's sac)
I cried forever and realized this might be a nature's way to give me a healthier one. I can't describe how painful it is and angry at the people do their thins as usual  just like nothing ever happened.

I feel your pain believe me.  My fifth.. and a surprise pregnancy. I have three children the youngest is 11. I had a m/c just prior to his birth and they gave me hormone shots to make sure he developed. This pregnancy I have insisted on hormone shots but they say it can't be determined as to whether or not that is the prob. Just felt overall weird... some minor cramping, no spotting, bleeding, nothing like that... can't explain it just feel weird. Thinking I haven't been pregnant in a long time so maybe that's just it. I went to the hospital this weekend just to ease my mind. They did hormone test and levels are only at 2500. U/s revealed sac no baby and 6 weeks along... I feel like they could have given me the hormones and all would have been well. Now it's just waiting.. like you said... devastating. 50/50 chance. Trying to stay hopeful but not feeling right about any of this.

I am also experiencing a similar situation.

I am 23 years old, and this is my first pregnancy. I estimated to be about 12w according to my LMP, but when I had a trans-vaginal u/s two weeks ago, the technician said I was around 8w. There was a sac, but no fetal pole or heartbeat. She said I could get a second opinion, and I was emotional so decided to get one right away (with the same findings, but they did a blood test and said my hormone levels were pretty high). Both times, the medical professional seemed quite sure that I would miscarry (actually the second opinion was that I had already miscarried).

It is now two weeks later, and I have had light cramping (but that was said to be normal) and no bleeding yet. I am thinking that I will wait another 2 weeks to see what happens.
Any suggestions?
