no yolk sac at 5 wks 4 days

[guatmommy]

I had an u/s this past Tues and there was a pregnancy but no yolk sac present.  My hcg level was 10,000 which went up appropraitely from the previous test.  Dr said my cervix was closed and uterus was soft as a pregnant uterus should be.  I just had a miscarriage in July due to abnormal chromosonmes.  I am so nervous.  I bled Mon night one time.  Then I bled on Wed one time.  A little clotting too.  Dr said this could be just normal spotting.  I go back on Tues for a repeat u/s and am just so nervous.  He did say sometimes the sac is hard to see if it is behind the placenta.  I also know I have a retroverted utuerus- if that matters- basically it is upside down.  Just want to kow if anyone has had similar experiences of not seeing and then seeing at 5+ wks.  Today I am 6 weeks and 1 day and hoping and praying to god that all is ok and when I go back on Tues (which seems so far away) that they will see the sac!!  Any advice/comments are welcome.

I am so sorry!!  What a horrible thing to have to go through.  I had a m/c in July and I know the emoitions that come with it.  I am not going to sugar coat it-  it is horrible.  Plays games with your mind.  My significant other and I actually broke up shortly after my m/c.  Got back together for a short time and broke up again.  Needless to say I am going through this preg. by myself.  Makes theemotions even crazier.  You will be in my thoughts!!  Stay well!!!!  Let's keep our fingers crossed that your next preg. will be healthy and succefful.... I pray for this for myself every single night....  I can't handle another m/c.

I am very sorry about your loss dej69. I as well have bad news. I went in today for the ultrasound and the baby is developing, my body is doing what it should but the baby isnt doing any better (the lack of baby since its pretty much just a yok). Thanks everyone for your thoughts, I hope the best for you all.

well, my news is bad. i was supposed to be going in last monday for an u/s to see if we could find the sac. but sunday morning had to go to the ER for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. i felt like i had the flu at first, just diahrea and vomiting, then my husband called 911 when i was passing out and had a couple seizures. when i got to the hospital, my stomach was full of blood, they couldn't find a blood pressure, or any veins for an iv. they had to remove my left falopian tube completely. very scary. the worst day of my entire life. if anyone hasn't been feeling well, has a stomach ache, or passes out, please go in right away. any longer, and i would have died.
i am so depressed about losing the baby, but still have one good tube and remain optimistic. we will keep trying. i just hope no one has to go through the same thing i did, and hope you all have happy healthy babies. FYI, the dr told me the signs to watch for as far as ectopic go, was pain in one side or the other.  i had no pain in one side. i didn't feel pain untill i was full of blood, and then the pain was all over. so watch for sickness, dizzy spells, passing out, etc.
