Blood filled sac in utereus??

I went with my sister in law to her ultrasound yesterday and he said she is 4 weeks he hcg came back at 685 it was 169 on monday.. so its doubling prefectly.. they saw a teeny tiny sac.. it was soo small that the ob had to point it out to us.. he said the sac is just beginning to grow.. but he also pointed out another sac he said it was fluid fileld could be blood or someother fluid.. and that it was from ovulation... he didn't seem concerned at all.. has anyone ever heard of this.. and he also said her cervix was 'raw' ... but didn't explain what that meant.

I tried to find some information about that online, but was unsuccessful. When does she go back to the doctor?

if it's "from ovulation" maybe it's the corpus luteum cyst? since it's soo early? that would be nothing to worry about.  since she has great numbers and he could see anything (that is really early) she's in great shape!!!

here's what i found:
Corpus Luteum Cyst of Pregnancy

by Marjorie Greenfield, M.D.
reviewed and revised by Marjorie Greenfield, M.D.

Many women go for a routine ultrasound or pelvic examination early in their pregnancy and come away with a surprise finding. Usually, this is the corpus luteum. After an egg is released from the ovary, the corpus luteum is responsible for making the hormone progesterone. It is this hormone that prepares the uterus for pregnancy.

A typical corpus luteum is round and fluid-filled and can range in size from less than two centimeters (about an inch) to six centimeters or more. On ultrasound, a fluid-filled (cystic) structure greater than three centimeters is technically classified as an ovarian cyst, even though it may well represent a normal finding.

Corpus luteum cysts appear toward the end of the menstrual cycle, last into early pregnancy, and then usually resolve over a period of time without any special treatment.
