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

Hello all, thanks for being here. I must confess, when I found out I was pregnant I was not excited at the prospect, as we have 4 kids and my youngest is 4. We thought we were finished. I had time to adjust and now have been very excited. Today I went to the doc and she  saw a sac and no baby. I should be 8 wks unless I had a late ovulation which, for me, would be odd. I am always right on with dates. Tomorrow I am going to the actual hospital to have an ultrasound, but why couldn't she see it on her equipment? How much better would the hospital be/ She said it appears that there is some debris in the bottom of my sac. Any opinions or knowledge on this one? I think she didn't feel like crushing my hopes. I would rather know right now tonight.

I visited the doctor 10-24-11 and was tld I should be 7 weeks according to my last week visit. Last week I attended by myself and my doctor stated that she seen a flutter in which appeared to be  heartbeat. This week she sees no fetakpole nor heartbeat and stated that there should at least be a baby seen at this point. I have experienced no bleeding. She stated that she wanted to see me back in 2wks and if there is not a pregnancy she will have to request for a DNC. My faith is not in the doctor but definitely God. Glad I saw your post and found this site.

I went for my ultra sound scan today as 12 wks. Unfortunately it wasn't good news, my baby is the size of a 6 wk baby! There is no mix up with dates etc... I've not miscarried, just had the odd brown discharge which is meant to be normal. Everything seemed to be fine and was matching to the book. Feel very sad, confused and angry. I've been given another scan in a weeks time to see if any growth, if so, I still know it's bad news. Has anyone else experience this?!
