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.

i am in the same situation as alot of you. I have 2 boys aged 9 and 6. I found out i was pregnant 6 weeks ago and when i went for an US at what i thought was my 6th week i was told i must be about 4 weeks as the sac was small with nothing in it. I went back 2 weeks later for another US and my sac had grown, but still nothing in it. the radiographer said my dates could be wrong or that my baby just hasn't grown. There faces told me excactly what i needed to know.  They gave me 2 scans on 2 different machines then an internal US  And they kept getting someone more senior in each time. I,ve to go back next week but am trying to come to terms that i don't have a baby. I still feel pregnant which is making it worse. My heart is sore with hurt just now so i can empethise with you all. x x x

Hi! Im 7 weeks pregnant and I have been spotting, cramping and having lower back pains for almost a week. I went to the ER Mothers Day and they told me to let mother nature takes it course, even though my cervix is closed...I went to the Dr. today and he said the sac was small for 7 weeks and to come back in 2 days. My levels were normal. So...am I still PG? Am I M/C? Im reading to get it over with...

How did you make out with this pregnancy?  I am in the same situation.  My partner is presently 7w1d with twins.  Baby A measured 6w6d, and Baby B was 7w0d, but the sac of Baby A was VERY small.  We have miscarried twins several times over this past year, and have prayed for these babies.  We have been told there is a chance Baby A won't make it, and just want to hear any positive stories from people in the same situation.  Happy baby thoughts to you all!

I am roughly 5 weeks pregnant and am showing a sack but no baby. I have a tipped uterus so I am not concerned with the fact that we can't see a baby yet although it would be very reassuring. My main concern is that on 9/10 the sack measured 5w 3d and 9/13 it measured 5w 1d, and 9/17 it measured 5w 1d and my levels are not doubling every 48 hours but they are going up still. My doctor wants to do a D&C but I want to wait has anyone ever had the sack stay around the same size for a week and had a healthy pregnancy?
