Ultra sound today saw gestational sac and have a few question

by country1975, Aug 01, 2008 07:07PM
I received my first ultra sound today   !  ( My numbers went from 984 to 2450 from Monday to Thursday).  B4 he did the u/s he told me that the thing he was looking for today was to make sure the baby was in my uterus ( not a tubal pregnancy).   Which he was happy to inform me that the gestational sac was in my uterus .  However , do you think i should have seen  the embryo ( i am 6 wks and 2 days) ?  Also what is the difference between yolk and gestational sac ?
I really like my dr .  ( fertility dr) .  But he always says if you do miscarry there is nothing we can do .  He said it to me again today ....  so i always think it might have some underline meaning.  Am i being paranoid  ? ( i know they have to probably cover everything)

btw - i have another u/s in 2 weeks

you might not be exactly 6 weeks 2 days you may have ovulated a day or 2 later which would make you a little less..  a gest. sac is the big sac.  the yolk sac is the smaller one in that in which you will see the baby one.  some people do not see the fetal pole til towards the end of their 6th week.  so try not to stress.

I would have to say - yes,

He must have some concerns, or you would not be having a repeat ultrasound so soon.

However, you don't always see everything at 6w2d, and there is always the possibility that you are a few days less than what you think. (caused by late ovulation)

So things could very well be fine.

At 5 weeks 1 Day we saw our Gestational Sac and Yolk Sac and than when I was exactly 6 weeks we saw our lil baby and heard its heartbeat! Then again I have heard of women hearing it earlier and later. I agree with the ladies above and think it definitely depends on when you Ovulated. I Ovulated an entire week later than I thought, so you might not be as far along as you think. Try not to stress, good luck at your next U/S!

When I was 6 weeks on the dot we were able to see a Gestational Sac and a ylok sac and were able to see a heartbeat....( They did not listen to see if they were able to hear it. Like  Leighanne said you may not be excatally 6 weeks 2 days. It does indeed worry me that he mentioned something about a miscarriage.... Keep us posted on what you find out in 2 weeks.. Best of Luck.
