6 weeks preg., no embryo seen and worried

[bethanne]

This is my first time on here. I found this website while looking for some information about my pregnancy, and I am very excited to know there is a place like this with people going through some of the same things.  I am 25 and pregnant with my first child. I went for my first ultrasound on May 23rd thinking I was 6 weeks by my LMP, (however my periods are not regular).  All they saw at this visit was the gestational sac and said that I was probably just 5 weeks or so.  Well, I went back on June 2nd for what should be my 6 week visit ( and I know I am at least 6 weeks going by the earliest point you can have a positive preg. test) and the gestational sac had grown and they saw a good yolk sac but were unable to see a fetal pole or hb yet.  This worried me bc everywhere I read it says that almost always at 6w. you should see the fetal pole.  Has anyone else definetely been 6 w. but unable to see the baby yet.  Should I be worried?.  I have also had some cramping similar to period cramping in my lower back with light spotting, sometimes reddish and sometimes brownish. Has anyone had this as well and yet everything be ok. I have to wait  a whole week to go for another us, and it is just so hard to wait and not know if any of this is normal. Please give my your honest opinion. I dont want false reassurance. Thank you very much, Beth

Somany stories that ended good :)  i hope i am one of those people who could tell a successful story and i mean i am only 18 years old and all but i was very excited about being a mother until today... i felt like my whole world had fallen appart and now i am just here sitting infront of my computer thinking long and hard of what my next U/S will show... today i went to the clinic to get my very first U/S and i was soo excited to finally see the little thing inside me... but i didnt see anything, they said they couldnt see a FP and i was like... this is not going to be good, and the lady nurse just told me that it could only just be a sack and that there was nothing i could do about it... she completely distroyed me... i walked home practicly crying.. i got home and i just cried and cried and just kept crying.. i couldnt stop... nothing has hurt me the most then know that i am empty inside... my mom got home and was excited to ask how everything went and i just went to bed told her and strted to cry like a little girl... she held me and i just cried my sorrow away.. she told me that some things are just not ment to be.... i always thought that i was 8 weeks along but they said that by the size of my sac, that i was 6 weeks and that it was probably to early to be able to see a fetus.. i wasnt to think and know that its all going to be ok and that i got pregnant after the date that accually did.. i dont know what to do, i have another U/S on the 30th of this month and i wont even have a good thanksgiving all thanks too this... please i need to hear from people that have had the very same situation that i am going through.
i have read so many stories, that keep me strong to be honest, just reading from this site is great and makes me not give up hope and think that there will be a little something in my sac next week that i go in for my 2nd U/S.

I am supposed be 7+3,when I went for my us on nov 18th. But g sac only measured at 6+2. Dr is 99.9%certain that it will be MC. I am very very sad. I am 45 and based on the dr is most likely my age. But I am not giving up hope yet going for another US in a week's. Wish me luck.

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and had mild spotting yesterday followed by some bleeding.  I went the Dr's and had an ultrasound.  Seems as though the fetus has not grown since 5 weeks.  Is this normal?  I'm also 37 years old.  Maybe this plays a part. I've prepared myself for the worst. Has anyone experienced similar?

This is exactly what happened to me 12 years ago. A missed miscarriage.   My husband and I both said, "What if they're wrong."  The dr. agreed to wait one week and see if nature would take it's course.  After a coupl of days I prayed, "God if this baby is really gone I need you to take it."  That night at 3:00am I began the contraction spells and lost the baby.  I thought everything was expelled and had no further ultrasound or hCG tests done.  5 days later I began to bleed very heavily, started hemorraging and needed an emergency D&C.  Had 2 more children after that.  My youngest is 5 and I'm 45.  Am going through the same thing now.  I thought I'd be about 6-7 weeks and had severe cramping and heavy bleeding last Thurs.  Thought for sure I lost the baby.  Went for hCG test to make sure the numbers were going to go down, but they went up 300.  Was sent for an ultrasound.  Could see the gestational and yok sak but no baby.  The dr is still considering it a viable pregnancy and started me on progesterone.  Will go back next Monday for another ultrasound.  Hard to believe how fast the past 20 years have gone looking at my oldest, but now feeling like time is taking for ever!!!
