Am I going to miscarry? - 5w5d and no fetal pole

Am I going to miscarry? - 5w5d and no fetal pole

I went for  scan yesterday to 'put my mind at rest' the doctor said. I am 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant. The scan was a vaginal scan and showed a sack, a yolk sack and...nothing else. There was no sign of a fetal pole or heartbeat. The person performing the scan said the scan was showing me to be 5 weeks and she would not expect to see anything at this point. She told me to come back in a week for another scan. However, considering my HCG level was 9300 the night before the scan and I'm sure of my dates do things look very bad? Am I going to miscarry a blighted ovum, or is there still hope an embryo will show up and things will be alright?

Having a scan at 5+ weeks rarely, if ever, puts anyone's mind at rest.  Its simply too early.  So then the woman gets very upset when repeat scans need to be done.

There is nothing to be done now but to wait for next weeks scan.  I wish I could reassure you, but unfortunately now you will worry--its only human nature.  Best of luck, and please let us know how things go for you next week.
