it's most likely NOT a blighted ovum. it is really too small to see much of anything BUT the sac at 6 weeks. i had two early ultrasounds, one at 5.3 weeks which only showed the sac and one at 8 weeks that showed the sac, yolk sac, fetal pole, baby and heartbeat. i know it's hard to but try not to worry and wait for a follow up ultrasound. good luck! :)
While it might be a blighted ovum, it could be that your dates are off and it's too early to see anything. Have they scheduled you for another ultrasound? I would definitely have another one in ATLEAST a week, 2 would be better, before deciding what the next steps are. Good luck!
Im so sorry. My first was a blighted ovum.. I would wait a week at least and request another ultrasound to see if there is any changes.. Your dates could be slightly off and in the early stages, it really cant make a difference. When you go back, you should be able to at least see a yolk sac if the pregnancy is progressing. 2 weeks would probably be ideal to wait but hanging in limbo for that long will drive a person crazy
I hope everything works out.
Hi, This happens sometimes and it is called a bighted ovum. The egg sac keeps growing and the body still thinks it is pregnant. Have you been asked if you want a d&c if so you probably want to ask for one more ultrasound to make sure and then go ahead and have it. I'm sorry i know it is heartbreaking. Take care
