ultrasound at 5 weeks - no sac - no nothing?

Hello everyone, I have been reading all your posts since I returned this afternoon from my OB doc appt.  I hope that someone can help...as you've answered so many questions for so many other ladies...I m/c last February - I am now preg.  I went in to see my OB doc today - they wanted to see me early on because of the m/c.  He did a vaginal u/s and the only thing he found was a cyst on my right ovary.  Nothing in my tubes and/or my uterus.  He didn't see the sac.  He said for me not to worry because I am just 5 weeks and a lot can happen in a few days and/or another week.  However, I am really worried that this pregnancy won't take...??  The funny thing is - I feel pregnant, have some breast tenderness, gas, indigestion, frequent urination, etc.  I didn't feel this way when I miscarried this past year.  I hope that someone can put my nerves to ease.  Thanks in advance.  Oh, they did my blood work up today along with my hcgs and I will go back on Wednesday (1st) for another level check.

Hi Jade,
I am Sarbani and I am in a similar situation that you were last year. I had my period on 24th Dec and my periods regularly occur every 28/29 days. I took a home pregnancy test which was only very very faintly positive yesterday. So, I went to the gynaecologist today but she said that nothing can be seen anywhere in the vaginal u/s. By this time a hole or something should be seen somewhere. I am awaiting blood test results and anxiously praying.
I am trying to have some hope. What happened in your case? Did everything turn out ok?

Hi Im in similar situation. I was 10 days late on my period and I did the PT twice with diff brand and it came out positive. I found out just last friday. Today I went to see a gynecologist and she did a viginal u/s and she told me she cant see anything. Apparently I was 6 weeks and 3 days as of today since my LMP. She said i might be on the early stage of miscarriage so she ordered me to do blood test today and a f/u blood test on Wednesday. Im praying that I hear a good news from my gynecologist by Thursday morning. This is my first pregnancy. I dont know if this is a normal thing but I'm hoping that its just Im too early to see anything on the u/s.

Hi! I just read your comment about your baby not growing at the rate she should be.  I went to the doctor and was told by my last period I should be about 7 1/2 weeks, but the ultrasound showed that I was only 5 1/2 weeks.  This worried me, and I hate that.  I wish I hadn't even gotten one until later.  What happened with your little one?  Why was it so far off?

I recently found I was prego 7/6/13 so the dr wanted me to have a u/s asap. I should be about a 5 weeks & 2 days according to my last m/p. They told me that it was nothing there & I might be suffering from a epic pregnancy. I have been reading online about the sympthons but my sympthons are similar to ms sympthons except no bleeding or spotting. This is my first time being pregnant has anyone ever experienced this before???

I am 5w and 2d pregnant, I went to the doctor yesterday for an ultrasound and a level check. I have had my levels checked 2 times in the past week as well as yesterday, so 3 times. The first one was 65, the second one which was 2 days later was 193, the one from yesterday was 895. In the ultrasound they seen nothing but a cyst on my left ovary. But, in order to see at least the sac your levels need to be above 1500. I go back Monday to get the levels checked again and I don't have another ultrasound scheduled until March 14th! God gave me this gift of life and I am leaving the life of my child in his hands!! I hope everything is ok with us both and will be praying!

We ran to emergency and they gave me a vaginal ultra sound they saw my uterus and a yolk sac everything looked fine but they said I am not as far along as I thought I was....My hcg levels were at 40,000 ...the next day we went to see the obgyn and they said same thing...If I was sure I had the dates correct....I am more than positive I do but now starting to douby myself. I am supposed to go back this weekend for another Ultrasound to see if there was any growth anf if the pregnancy is viable. I am freaking out and this emotional roller coaster is killing me and my husband. We have been tring for a while and are scared to death. Any thoughts or opinions?

Can anyone help me. I was on the implant and had a peoriod on  08/05/12  after nearly a year of not having one, I then had my implant removed 25/05/12 and haven't had a period or any signs of one since. I did a pregnancy test last week and it said I was pregnant so as you do I did more. I also did 2 clear blue ones and they said 1-2 weeks and then 2-3 a few days later. I called a midwife to make an appointment but when I told her that I had the implant out 3 weeks ago she said I might not be pregnant it might be the hormone after having the implant removed and to test in a few weeks time and phone back. Could this be possible 6 positive tests and not pregnant???

I just had scan at 5 weeks.  They told me the same. Not see anything.  I was so scared until I googled and read all these comments.   Best to keep positive.   This is my fourth pregnancy.  None of previous successful.   So have to be really positive this time round.

I am so concerned I found out about a week and 2 days ago that I was pregnant, I did 4 home pregnancy test from the dollar store and the lines were extremely faint, so I went and bought 2 clearblue digital ones which both showed positive... I was soo excited, but last Saturday I started to feel some discomfort in my lower left abdomen and decided to go to the ER where they did a urine and blood test and both came back positive with my hcg levels being at 300 the doctor told me I had just recently gotten pregnant and wanted me to do a follow up that next Tuesday which was yesterday! They said my hcg levels went from 300 to 700 but when she proceeded to do an ultrasound she didnt see anything at all! They think I can just be way to early or that its an ectopic pregnancy which has me soo concered and scared.. I really want this baby can anybody please help me???
