No fetus or yolk sac 8.5 weeks pregnant

Okay, i am very new to this... i don't even know if i am posting this in the correct spot!! ANYWAY,  to begin with my pregnancy journey i had a Mirena IUD to begin with. Had it removed April 16 2010 and TTC right away! my boyfriend and i already have 3 children and was pretty sure that i was gonna become pregnant by March, SO i assumed that i was and had my doctor draw blood to see if i really was. Before my missed period (i was so excited) my level was a 3, a week after it was 5 then a week after again it was 8, and then 15... Finally  two weeks passed and my Dr. did it again and turned out to be 2773. Then a week after that it shot up to 9080, i was told that that was a good sign. But my first u/s was taken around this time there was only a sac! no yolk or fetus. The sac measured 4-5 weeks. My doc wanted to repeat my u/s and that second one was pretty much like the first one!!!, only the sac enlarged. Because there was no fetus, i have no clue how far along i am other than going by my LMP which makes me 8.5 weeks today! My doc is telling me that he's 100% sure that this pregnancy won't be successful, but i am going in for another u/s with a different doctor. has anyone gone thorough this before? or am i alone.. i just don't know what to do when my own DOCTOR is terrifying me!!! Oh and one more question, my left abdominal area has very mild cramping accompanied by backache, and i have read that it is preparing for baby. Can an empty sac still grow without anything in it?

Hello everyone I am glad to say I am still holding up. From my LMP I'd be 10 weeks and 5 days today. I am a strong believer in God and am just leaving everything in his hands. I haven't seen the doctor since May 21 (empty sac 9 weeks) and am in the process of seeing a new ob. Due to personal reasons. But I haven't had any bad sign of losing my precious baby or having anything expelled. Other than off and on cramping on one side which I've been told I the uterus growing. I have faith in Jesus that I will give birth to a very healthy baby at the end of this year and I pray for you others that are experiencing this problem. I didn't hear any good news YET from my doctor, but all I can do is have faith, and know that the good news is that the bad news is wrong!!!  I encourage you women to purchase the book supernatural childbirth by Jackie Mize. (I'm a Christian) not trying to be so religious or anything, but after reading that made me look at things (this situation) a lot better and cleared my mind and heart from fear! I Love my God he is awesome :)

I am so sorry that you have to go through this.  My body didn't recognise my baby had passed for 11 weeks.  I think some women are different and it could take their bodies a little longer.  

We are all  thinking of you during this deicate time :)

Thank you for checking up on me :) it is a messed up feeling to be in this situation, but I'm already feeling as if it's gone! I'm just gonna wait it out and let whatever in there leave on it's own. But anything is possible with God in my life so we'll just see :) again thank you and I'll be keeping you updated on what's happening. Btw, how long does it take to come out if I just waited todo it naturally?!

I'm sorry to hear what you are going through.  I miscarried my son at 14 weeks and he had stopped growing between 10-11 weeks.  I had no cramping, bleeding or anything leading up to my miscarriage.  At my 14 week check up I had pink discharge and even then my midwife said to just keep an eye on it.  The nexxt day brown blood then red blood.  Went to hospital and it started gushing.  I had no cramps what so ever during the whole process.  
I guess all I wanted to say is that you could have no bleeding or cramps one day and then the next day it could all start.  I miscarried naturally with no medical intervention as well and I was fortunate enough to have no complications.

I'm thinking of you

UPDATE:

I went to the doctors office yesterday to find out that ther is still no fetus , yolk or heartbeat! going by my LMP (031910), i am 9w1d today but the ges sac measures to be around 6weeks. What is it?!?! i am so clueless and just waiting to see whats gonna happen! If what i dont want to happen is what's gonna take place, i would want it to be natural. But i dont have any symptoms of miscarrying such as cramps, blood or anything like that!!!! should i be getting it if i were to be losing it? or not necessarily?!?! I just dont wanna wait too long to try again! What should i do?!?! as of right now I'm leaving it up to God! For he is the creator of LIFE and LIFE abundantly!!!!

Hey
When I was pregnant with my first son I was positive I had my dates correct.  When I went for my 11w 5 day scan (my first scan) my son measured only 9w 3 days or something like that.  I dismissed it and thought maybe I had calculated my dates wrong.  I went on to have a healthy boy.  I don't know if I got my dates wrong to begin with but I didn't have a scan prior and being my first pregnancy I didn't think anything else.

Can someone help me! I was just doing some calculations. K so last Friday (5-14-10) my dr measured my sac at 6w 3d and according to my lmp I'm 8w 5d (Also acc. To my doc) I really think I could be the smaller dates because I tried some pregnancy calculators and today I would be 8w 1d which means last Friday I was 7w 3d... Hugh, confusing I know!!! But here's my stats: LMP March 19 2010, I'm a 30 cycle gal and my expected due date supposedly is Dec. 24 2010. (I know that I ovulated on 4-01-10) but when did I actually become pregnant?!!! And where does it leave me now! See these questions I can't even ask my doctor cause he's too busy for me. *whatever* :)

Hey

I just wanted to let you know the backache could be a sign of things starting.  I miscarried at 14 weeks, my baby had stopped growing between 10-11 weeks.  I had no cramping what so ever during my miscarriage.  The only what you could call pain was a sore back.  My back felt like I just couldn't get comfortabe but it wasn't painful if that makes sense.  I believe I felt like that maybe 5 days before I miscarried.  I thought my sore back was normal as my back had been playing up since my first pregnacies but obviously it wasn't. With my miscarriage I had no signs I was going to miscarry it just happened very, very fast for myself.   I really hope all goes well with you.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and care for me. I don't have anyone to talk to about this and I am so glad that I found this site! I was really shocked to see the replies hehehe :) but I gotta say it does seem like this pregnancy might go downhill but I am leaving it up to God! And I'll naturally lose it if that's the case! I just pray this baby is just being shy and don't wanna peak yet!!! :) who knows, well I'll be keeping you all posted on this one! (God works in mysterious ways) :) hugs to all of you for your kind replies

I'm sorry you have to go thru this. I am going for a D&C tomorrow. I should be 11w1d but the babies HB stopped around 7w. I still haven't miscarried. I did continue with MS, food aversions and my uterus grew to 10w, but no baby. Sometimes, apparently, your body doesn't catch that your baby isn't growing and keeps going. I'm sorry, that is just my experience. I just thought you might want to know. I wish I had more encouraging news.
Take care.

By 8.5 week the fetus should be present I'm sorry and with the cramping and back pain you are probably in the stages of miscarriage but just keep some hope I wish you the best
