5wk 2day gestation sac "empty" and measuring 7wk 4 days

[amberd5191]

Hi I just had an ultrasound done yesterday after my doctor feared that I had a popped cyst (I did) he gave me a shot of progesterone in the office; and then sent me to get an immediate ultrasound. Were I was supposed to be 5wk 2days. The gestational sac measured at 7wk 4days (Which I'm positive I'm not that far along as I just started getting my period agian when I got pregnant). The doctor is running some blood work. So I guess I'm just confussed. Is there still a chance the doctor is right and it may be too soon to see the baby; and if so why would the sack be measuring so large? Thanks so much for your help!

I am 7w 6d pregnant with my 4th child. I have had 2 previous miscarrages both around 3 weeks pregnant. I had an ultra sound yesterday and they only saw a sac no yolk or fetal pole. my sac is mesuring 6w 2d. Am i on the road to miscarrage (miscarriage)? is this a blighton ovum? my doc was very negitive about it all but i am trying to still hold some hope. i am not bleeding or cramping so im really concerned what do you think?

thanks!!!

I was around 5wks when I found out I had a blighted ovum. I waited another 8 weeks to pass on own but did not so I had a D&C. It has been 5 wks now. I started to pass clots and ended up in the ER. My doctors says I need another D&C . My questions are why do I need a secound D&C, did something go wrong with the first one, will this effect my chances of future preganacies?
Please any information will help, thanks. Hope

I am 8.5 weeks pregnant, and had an u/s yesterday indicating no fetal pole and measuring 6 weeks.  I am certain on my dates, and would like to hold out hope that this is a viable pg, but I am loosing ground.  I have been spotting, and a little crampy, but nothing severe.  Any hope?

I found out I was pregnant and then found out it probably wasn't viable in all of 4 days! My GP and I assumed I was having hormone troubles as I have had continual light bleeding since my last 'supposed' period. Only 2 weeks ago did she do a preg test, to be safe, before she was to put me on progesterone.

From my scan the following Monday, the sonographer said it would be about 5 wks, which I knew not to be correct 'cos it would have had to be at least 8 weeks since my hubby and I BD'd. My hormone levels confirmed my dates(16,000) and initially I was kept in, in case there was an ectopic pregnancy too. There was only an empty sac on the screen.

I have had some heavy bleeding, clots and cramps since, which I thought would have done the trick, but unfortunately last Friday, the sac is still in their clinging on(it hasn't grown). So have one more scan next Monday and failing any change, a D&C on Tuesday.

I am still showing positive pregnancy tests and sore breasts, but don't feel half so tired (which I put down to work) as I have since the initial cramping and heavy bleeds so hopefully my levels are dropping. I am hoping for a natural resolution as you can start again sooner and there is less chance of infection.

We already have a son who is seven and I had convinced myself that the continual light bleeding was a sign of change(i.e. perimenopausal..).

The light bleeding was nothing to do with the failed pregnancy but just an effect of the hormones on my cervix, so at least I do not need to worry about that next time.

I wish all of you well and would like to hear of any 'successes' after a D&C.

Take Care
son xx

I am sorry that  you all are going through this, I have been there too. I found out that I was pregnant for the first time in May 2006.... I had a b/o and had the d and c done in july. I was sooooo upset because it was my first pregnancy... I thought that there was something wrong with me and that I was never going to be able to have children. After my d and c I kept getting positive pregnancy tests and I knew that it would take a little while for the hormones to leave my system... but I was getting them over a month later and I thought that I was pregnant again. Well I was sooooo wrong... I did not have an ultra sound to support this, but I think that apart of the sac or something was left inside of me b/c what I thought was going to be my first period after the d and c turned a natural m/c of what was left. It hurt soooooo very badly and I was passing very large clots. It was my fault b/c I never went back for my check up after the d and c, I really did not like my ob/gyn. I then became obsesses with becoming pregnant again!!!!!! I mean I was allways peeing on sticks. I was driving my husband crazy with all of it and it started alot of fighting, so I decided that I was not going to worry about it anymore...... And  here I am now  34 1/2 weeks pregnant with my little baby boy( Hayden James ) and everything is fine with him! I actually concived in october, which was the first month that I decided that we were not going to worry about it anymore and we only baby danced once that whole month b/c I had a very bad cold.... and it was the worst sex in the world.... I still had a cold and my hubby was tired... after we were done, I was like that suxed( it sounds mean but we both knew it and were laughing how bad it was ) and my hubby was like watch you are going to get pregnant I bet you anything. So now we always joke that stupid sex got us pregnant!!!!

Having the d and c done did not hurt my cervix or anything, and I did concive 3 months after I had it done, probably would have been sooner if I would have just relaxed. But I wish everyone the best and I am sorry that you have to go through all this, hopefully my story will give you hope!

I had hcg problems at 5 weeks and was told i probably had a b/o or ectopic or was just miscarrying.  She sent me for an ultrasound but told me definately not to go before 7 weeks because it would not show.  So all of you going in the 6th week...hold out hope.  Plus as sure as you are about your last period and when you had sex, sperm can last almost a week and you may not have ovulated exactly when you think.  Your body can do odd things.  All of you hold out hope.

I recentley found out i was pregnant i took 3 pregnancy tests and they all came up positive.

Thinking i was farther along then i actually was i went to get an ultrasound. They were concerned because i had a 5 in a half week sac but they could not see anything in it.

they were very vauge saying it is too early to tell if i am having a miscarriage but i think that i am, as i have been reading and looking on websites and this is exactly the description of a miscarriage.

i want to know if there really is any chance that it could be too early to tell or that i could continue with a normal pregnancy and they just cant see anything by chance?

if there is a chance i want to know the likelyhood please.
