Gestational sac not measuring with estimated weeks....

[LuckyJaybird]

Hi all....right now I am very confused and upset. Just need a few opinions (good or bad).I found out I was pregnant by a home pregnancy test 2 weeks ago. Last week, I went to the doctor where he also confirmed it. He did the exam and said everything looked good and that I was 7 weeks. I went for my first trimester ultrasound and from there on it has been an emotional rollercoaster. When the tech did the ultrasound, she said that the gestational sac was only measuring 5 weeks and not 7 like it should. She called my doctor and he said he wouldn't know much until I had some blood work done. So, he sent me to the lab to have it drawn to measure my HCG levels and progesterone levels. And I go back Friday for a second set to be drawn so he can compare. He said I might really be 7 1/2 weeks pregnant and the baby stopped growing at 5 and is gone or some other things that I didn't hear because I was still in shock and somehow tuned him out. I feel pregnant. No cramping or bleeding....don't know what to think. My LMP was definetly Aug 26. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions...anything is appreciated. Thank you.

How did things turn out for you??

It could just be that your ovulation was off. I just saw the Dr yesterday and I am supposed to be 8 weeks 5 days but baby measures at 6 weeks! I was using opks and I had 5 positive days in a row so I know that my ovulation was not normal. The Dr said I probably just got pregnant at the end of that 5 day period. Did the ultrasound show a strong heartbeat? Usually that would be a positive sign that everything is fine and ovulation was just late. Stay positive!

Hi all,
I found out 4 weeks ago I was pregnant and it's just been a constant nightmare since, my levels are creeping up incredibly slowly 300-580-800-1080-1400 they were in a few days of each other and then 2700 and 3600 which were in a week of each other, at first they thought I had an eptopic pregnancy then that was ok, then it was my levels not going up fast enough and then today I went for my second scan and there was a baby's heartbeat they put me at 6w6d but the sac is about a week behind, they told me things are not looking good and to prepare for the worst which I have, the baby keeps hanging on though but every time I go in to see them there is another complication. So exhausting I'm just waiting to miscarry and every time I get my hopes up there something else wrong. Wish everyone all the best and hoping things go well

I was told i was 10 weeks pregnant i went to the er today a.d told them i was cramping but im not i just wanted my ultrasound early.they say sack is measuring 7 eeeks and cnt detect a fetal heart beat.

Hi Girls... The only Ultra sound that is accurate is the 12 week scan.....anything before (or after the 12 week scan)...bar a few days can be up to 2 weeks out!!!!!

Also many girls work out how far on they are from their last period , this is correct but not everyone ovulates 14 days later.....some girls ovulate 20 days after the period starts....then they may not conceive for 4/5 days after that (as sperm can live for that long in the vagina) we could conceive a few days after sex whilst sitting at work!!

just remember these early scans are a very rough guess, your dates are prob more accurate.

The gestational sac for my son went from 9-11 days behind the embryo on ultrasounds weeks 7, 8 and 9.  He was born with no problems and is doing well.   I know it's so stressful and scary to go through all of that, but just wanted to let you know that it doesn't necessarily mean anything bad. Much luck to you!

I am 37 yrs old. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage last October @ 8wks.  I am currently pregnant (according o LMP, 6w5d) and had an ultrasound on Tuesday.  The doctor had a hard time locating the gestational sac and when she did, there was not heartbeat. She said my lining was very thick and that there were several large cysts on my cervix.  She also said the sac was measuring a week behind.  I have another u/s scheduled for Thursday, the 11th.  I am so devastated that I am going to have to go through the same thing I went through last year.  It's like reliving my nightmare all over again. Possibly worse. At this point, just praying that I had a late implantation and that it was just too soon to see anything.  The worst part is the waiting and the wondering.  We've been trying for over 10 yrs, 5 different doctors, 7 IUIs, lots of disappointments... I am desperate!

my embryo measured 7wks but the sac measured 5 wks, I have to wait a week for an ultrasound...so nervous

[Kobeplus1]

I am in the same situation as you. I have been spotting for a week and was told today that my gestational sac was small. I am soooo discouraged right now. I hope and pray this baby is okay but i also wish that if i were going to miscarry it would just happen so I could move on. I dont know if I should be preparing myself for a miscarriage or if i should be happy about a new baby. Good luck to you.

Im in the same boat according to my last lmp I should be 7 weeks but due to brown spottin had to go for an early ultrasound were is was told I'm measuring 5 weeks have to go back next week so im a bit worried incase theres been no development

[lozz83]

Hi everyone,it's comforting to know that there are other people out there going through the same thing mentally. I have had spotting on and off for weeks now and on Friday last week i bleed a lot. My husband took me to the ED and they did my bloods and they were 5860 for 7 weeks and 5 days. they had risen from 1100 the previous Friday. I had an ultrasound on Monday and they saw a gestational sac but no baby or heartbeat or yolk sac and the gestational sac size indicated 5 weeks and 4 days when i should be 8 weeks. I had more bloods done on Monday and they had risen again to 6926. I now have to wait until Thursday next week for another scan to indicate if the baby is growing (viable pregnancy they call it!?! of course its viable i'm attached to baby and have symptoms). Its amazing that with modern medicine that no one can seem to tell us what is going on. Spotting is still continuing. I'm really worried. We didn't plan baby we were just taking things as they cam and figured when it was our time it would happen. I am hoping that our baby is just a slow grower especially as i have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid also since finding out im pregnant. Some drs seem to think that my tyhroid won't affect baby and others think it would slow down their growing but that's okay. Let me know if anyone else has the same.

Hey eveyone .Im going through something I wish I wasnt..Im 8 weeks pregnant and I have been bleeding for almost 3 weeks not not heavy bleefing but bleeding...I went to the emergency room on may 9 and they did blood test and a ultrosound theu check my cervix and my blood and everything was fine...I went back to the emergency room 2 days ago cause im was still bleeding and the doctors did all the same test as the last time except the ultrasound and everything was fine again...Today I go back to the emergency and they check all over again this time they did another ultrasound and they saw that my baby is still the size of a 5 week sac and they couldnt hear the heartbeat....That it looks like Im having a spontaneous miscarriage :'( they said I have to go back monday and see ...Is it possible that maybe my baby could live? :(

Well my period was end of March. My due date is Jan 3rd. I had a light pick spotting twice last weekend after going to bathroom. No biggy but still called dr and he wanted to see me. Said he felt all was well but did HCG it came back 47000. good for 7 weeks 6 days pregnant by what he said he felt all was ok but now going to do ultrasound to give me reassurance. WELLLLLLL no reassurance there because it only showed sac and it measured about 5 weeks 4 days. My OBGYN called me today and hes so sweet told me hes not giving up hope on my baby that he believes dates are just off. I am spotting again today not bad and its not like blood blood its just pinkish colored but still concerned!

[gabsmomma]

Have you heard any more? I am going through a similar situation and freaking out!
I have a healthy daughter that had a great pregnancy. She is just over 2 years.
My husband and I had a miscarriage that forced us to have a d&c at 12 weeks in february. We found out we were pregnant again in march.
i thought i was about 7 weeks and i started to bleed a little and went right to the dr. the dr saw nothing but clots. i went back 2 other times that week (mon, wed and fri of last week) and my hcg is rising but only by a little. so the dr told me to wait a week and come back. the embryo sac only grew one days worth of growing in the past 6 days. im freaking out, but he suggested that i could wait another week if i would be more comfortable with it, apparently i am only measuring at 5 weeks and 5 days. i should be 9 weeks now.
please keep me posted on your story!

[chely158]

Im the same way they told me my due date was september 11 since my last menstrual period was december 6 and now they change it to august 15 because my ultrasound is showing that im 24 weeks not 22 from my counts and what the doctor had told me. I need help tooo!!

[hudsonmommy1321]

I am also having a difficult time right now. i am supposed to be 8wks and 2days today. i started bleeding and cramping last thursday and went to the ER. everything confirmed that i am pregnant, but the u/s showed only 5wks and my hcg levels were only 496. the ER dr told me that i was having a threatened miscarriage and put me on bedrest for 2wks but told me to see my OBGYN in 4-5days. i have an appnt today at 1:45pm and i am terrified of what i might see or hear. or not hear for that matter. this is my 3rd child and i have never had a miscarriage before. my husband and i actually planned this pregnancy while my other 2 boys were not planned. why would this happen when i want it so bad? does anyone have any words of encouragement or have been thru a similar situation? good luck to all of you. i hope everything works out for all of it as well as myself today.

[drenners09]

i went in to docs for cyst so they made me take a pt to make sure i wasnt before she gave me pain meds, well turned out i was pregnant. my hcg levels put me at 4 to 5 weeks and they were rising like normal. Had a altrasound and they meassured the sac at 5 weeks 5 days then 5 weeks 1 day..... now i have nurses telling me im 5 weeks but only been pregnant for 3 weeks and other nurses saying no im 5 weeks according to my sac everything looked normal they said.. so now im very confused how far am i and if i were only 3 weeks how in the heck could they even see anything. i thought u had to be atleast 5 weeks to see anything..... Someone pls help me???? how far am i and witch nurses are the quacks???

[kaceyleerum]

So i found out i was pregnant at the end of March, the clinic said im was 5weeks, well now 8weeks pregnant and ive been bleeding, cloting and some cramping. I went to the ER to found out what is going on and they did an ultrasound and come to find out my sac looks empty.Also they say i have a cyst on my right overy. The doctors tell me that it is a threated miscarriage and to be prepared for the worse, but im not ready to prepare myself for a miscarriage because i have two little boys already and nothing like this has happened to me before. I need to know if I still have a chance that i will soon see a baby in my sac and still have a normal and fine pregnancy. Im really scared and have been crying and thinking the worse, ive been searching the internet like crazy, has anything like this happened to anyone and still delivered there baby when they were supposed to?

[mel138]

*also no heartbeat was detected at first u/s and I couldnt see anything...
