if your "doctor" said your 14 weeks along, and didn't see a fetus on the ultrasound, and didn't say it could have been a miscarriage.. then she's not really a doctor or one whos lost her mind! lol i had a dating scan done when i found out i was pregnant because i didn't know how far along i was, and at 7 weeks, you could DEFINATLEY see the fetus, and at 14 weeks, your into your second trimester.. this doesn't make sence to me.

My mom had her period through out her entire pregnancy with me and then with my little brother. U should definitely get a second opinion, my sister got her first u/s when she 8 weeks, my niece was So small u could barely see her...good luck hope all goes well, I'll tell u with my first son, I got a vaginal u/s at 4 or 5 weeks, all the tests came back positive, but there was nothing there, had my first actual ob appointment at about 13 weeks and his heart beat was there, thought at first I lost him...get a second opinion
They do go by your last LMP but if you have longer cycles or ovulated way later then it's possible it's too early to see anything... if your levels are rising and they have checked to make sure it's not an etopic or tubal pregnancy then I would wait it out another a week or two just to be on the safe side.
You most definitely would be 8 weeks. It doesn't matter how far your cycle goes into a month, you go by the first day of your LMP. By this point you should have seen a fetal pole as well as a heartbeat. If your next ultrasound shows nothing it might be time to consider that the pregnancy isn't viable.
I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and there was a tiny little baby. I will be 39 weeks tomorrow. But even though your lmp was May 22 that is the date that they go by when they determine how far along you are. Even though you technically arent pregnant then that is when they start the 40 weeks. But I am glad you got a second opinion also. If it were me I would go back to the first dr and tell her that you are indeed pregnant.
I still think I'm only about five or six weeks because my last period went into the first week of june but the new doctor said I'm almost 8 weeks and wants to do the d&c just the same as the other doctor but I still think they are wrong on my weeks my hcg are still rising my new levels are 11865 since last Thursday...I don't know what to do now
Your about 5 weeks pregnant. No heartbeat will be detected by an ultrasound. The babies heart and organs are developing at this time. The ultrasound wouldn't be able to detect a heartbeat from your baby until about 2 more weeks I believe
There's no way you could be 14 weeks. My lamp was 4/29 and I am 11 weeks
Did an u/s today still nothing showing not even a sac the doctor wants me to come back next monday for another u/s and a hcg test my hcg levels are still rising but no doubling. My doctor wants me to consider a D&C if theres still nothing showing after next week. Has anyone went this long and had an successful pregnancy without seeing anything on their u/s?
i saw my first baby at 5 1/2 weeks and my second baby at 7 wks on ultrasound. but as long as your hcg is rising there is nothing to worry about.
thanks alot @ashdensmommy
http://www.babymed.com/hcg-level-in-early-pregnancy ---- here is a list of hcg levels and what they generally are. according to your level of just over 6,000 the yolk sack still has yet to appear. i would go for a second opinion for sure! To me it sounds like you are still early in pregnancy. please get a second opinion!
Thanks everybody you all are making me feel so much better
My story is the same...please get a second opinion....I am now 22 weeks and everything is fine
I went to er because I had a positive pregnancy test and was spotting...they couldn't see much or detect a heartbeat and said I was 6 weeks wanted to do a d and c and terminate said it was fetal demise. Went to my doctor a few days later and their u/s technician said same results...my doctor told me I could wait a week and have another ultrasound...and sure enough their was a heartbeat....turns out I was only An few weeks at time of first ultrasound....now I am 21 weeks 6 days and everything is progressing fine....I would really recommended getting a second opinion.....
I would def get a second opinion ... The same thing happened to me they said I had a missed miscarriage and wanted to do a d&c twice going off the measurement of the gest sac good thing I told them no .... They said that I should have been seven weeks they were wrong They saw nothing and heard no heartbeat!!! An almost killed my baby I decided to wait a few weeks and told them if it was goin to be a miscarriage then I would let it happen naturally ... I went back in two weeks and they asked me if I wanted the procedure again I told them no and that I wanted an ultra sound an what do you know there was the baby and a healthy heart beat and I was 7 weeks 3 days and 2 weeks ago they tried to tell me I was 7 weeks when I knew they were wrong ... It's def too early for them to see anything ... I had the same spotting as well !!! Just wait a few weeks and go back for an u/s... I will keep you and your little one in my prayers
MY NEW DOCTOR SAW AN CYST THAT LOOKS LIKE THE PICS OF A 5 WEEKS U/S THAT I HAVE SEEN OTHER THEN THAT NOTHING AT ALL, BUT SHE SEEMS BETTER THEN MY OLD OB/GYN SHE SAID THAT WE'LL GOING TO WATCH EVERYTHING CLOSELY BECAUSE IM STILL SHOWING TO BE PREGNANT SHE ALSO DID AN TEST TODAY WHEN I WENT IN, IM GOING IN FOR ANOTHER HCG TEST IN THE MORNING I'LL KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED THANKS FOR REPLYING
I had a vag u/s at 6w6d and my baby is now six weeks.
Ya I would not jump to terminate. Second opinion is the best thing to do.
good that the new dr knew you were only 7 weeks along....it's possible that you just ovulated a little later than you thought so hopefully your hcg will keep climbing and then in a week or two you will be able to something on the ultrasound... I wouldn't worry if you aren't having any pain or bleeding
Just left the new doctor im only seven weeks.but still not showing on the u/s going in tomorrow for more blood work. Still no pain or bleeding
