HELP! MY FIRST ULTRA SOUND, NOT HEART BEAT!

[AnitaRFrith]

I was So excited to go get my first ultra sound today.  But now I don't know what to think.  The lady did a vaginal ultra sound on me an there was just a black circle.  There was no heart beat!  I thought that I was 11 weeks because my last FULL cycle was June 7th.  I had spotting for 2 days on July 5th an 6th.  I just thought it was implantation bleeding.  Even if I was a month off on my dates.... I should be 5 or 6 weeks.  Shouldn't I had heard the heart beat or saw some thing inside the circle?  It was just a black dot.  They would not give me the ultra sound pics an the nurse an staff acted very strange.  They set me up 2 visits for next week at the hospital.  They would not tell me any thing.  I have to get more blood word an another ultra sound done Tuesday.  I think they want me to go there for a DNC but I'm not sure.  When she hit a button on the machine it lit up around it... but not on or near it.  What dose that mean?  I feel fine.  No spotting or pain.  Has this ever happened to any one on here?  Please help I'm almost in tear worring about this.

yes thats possible.  I'm married so theres no telling.  I got a positive test almost 4 weeks ago... home test

My twins were black circles at 5 weeks and they were funny with me because I hadn't had a period for 8 weeks. I went back a week later and they have grown to 3mm and we saw the heartbeat flicker but I was never given the opportunity to hear them until 12 weeks!!

I would say that either you are five weeks pregnant or the embryo stopped growing at five weeks. I'm not sure if you would need a D and C though when it is that early. Is there any chance that you had sex three weeks ago?? This may mean you are five weeks pregnant and have just had funny cycles.......

Good luck xxx

Its possible spotting was inplantation,not all women experience this,to be honest i would put down julys spotting as that,the fact the black whole is there is still promising (this was all i saw couple weeks ago.)im sure in couple weeks,you will see more..doctors dont believe in womens cycles being possibly being  longer than 28 days,so you may be still very early.point is no bleeding no pain,not a cause for concern,i would try to relax (hard i know) im having issues since my scan today.although i saw heartbeat,baby looked fine,but the sac is small,they say not to be worried,yeah right like we dont..try to stay calm..and refuse any dnc for couple weeks at least,i wish you all the best,not sure on the machine part of your question,there machines are different in the uk...
