yolk sac elongated instead of round

[jennyb473]

has anyone been told the yolk sac was oddly shaped?  I had an u/s this morning - should be 8w1d from LMP - been measuring about 1.5 weeks smaller though.  I've had definite increase in size from last u/s and yolk sac is present and oval instead of round and doctor isn't positive if there is a fetal pole yet - can't get a clear view of it, he thinks it is there, but not positive yet.  I go back next Monday for another u/s and if no hb by then - then this pregnancy is probably not viable and I will probably need a D&C.  I started spotting (spotting is a stretch....it is only on tp when I wipe) on Saturday and it has been dark brown and very tiny amounts - I've had 4 times where it was red, but no clots and always just on tp.  From the u/s it doesn't appear that things are breaking down but I'm still freaked out over all of this - this is my 4th pregnancy in 18 months (3mc last year).  Anyone have any similar experiences?

ok, i'm 7 weeks and 4 days. 2 days ago i went to er for some bleeding. dr did u/s saw a sack and yoke and what "may" be a fetal pole. no heartbeat. the fetal pole was said to be elongated as opposed to round. also dr said she couldnt find the source of the bleeding. when i had bled it was after a bm and i was straining. Anyway, my hcg was only 8000 and i'm hoping there is a chance my baby could be just slow... to grow

I am showing up as 6 weeks 1 day but in my calculations i should be 5 weeks 5 days. I have oval shaped sac and they think they could see something. Got blood drawn today for HCG levels and go back Monday to give more blood. I have no bleeding or major discomfort but they told me to wait for blood work and U/S in two weeks. This is my fifth pregnancy and i have never had a miscarriage. I am scared! Anyone have a healthy pregnancy under these circumstances?

Hi! I know how hard it is when you go to the dc and all you can hear from there is so negative, I just got my ultrasound and my sac is also enlongated, my hcg level whent up not double, but is out the roof for the weeks that I am, they dont see anything yet in the sac, anf like you am scared by not kniwing what to expect, but from what I heard women when this can of sac end up havin healthy babies, so I know is hard but keep positive and everything will turn out good for both. Take care, I have a second ultra sound in a week I will keep you posted.

I am going through the exact same thing.  I am suppose to be 12w2d, but tonight the ultrasound showed I was 6w1d.  My sac is elongated.  I cried before I found this out because this is my fourth pregnancy and It will be absolutely unbearable if this happens again.  I go to another doctor on the 11th of this month.  I am praying for the best.  At first Iwas so excited about it all.  Now i am taking one day at a time.  My baby's heartbeat is 130.  I was really glad to hear it.  
Please know I am praying for you as well.  I can imagine you want this so much you can not tell it all.

I hope that your next us reveals a healthy baby.

However, it may not be good news based on what you reported here.

My thoughts are with you.

I'm actually waiting on results of progesterone and hcg now.  My progesterone was 21.1 in week 4 and has not been tested since.  I am on herbs from my acupunturist which help in the progesterone department too...but RE did offer to put me on supplements today if that is what I want - he doesn't think it will make any difference, but it is up to me.   If we go off the first 2 u/s then I should only be about 6w3d today so not hearing a hb yet isn't as big a worry as if I were really 8w1d.  I've been in limbo for weeks now waiting to see what is going to happen with this pregnancy - I am really praying for a good outcome, and every appt gives me hope since I've made it a week further, but still can't help dreading what could happen and having to go thru it a 4th time.

Am not sure what that means but I was measuring correct on my ultrasound on friday at 8w2d. We saw the head, heartbeating, feet, and what are supposed to be hands. We have been picking up the heartbeat since 6 weeks. I really hope next time you will be able to see something. It is always so much better to see the fetus and feel reassured. You should be seeing something by now. And the spotting does not sound too good....what did your doctor say about that? How do your beta-HCG levels look??
Good luck and sticky baby dust***
