Negative ultrasound, positive pregnancy at 5 weeks

I am hoping that someone can offer some advice. I had bloodwork done and my HCG levels were about 570. Then I had an 2 transvaginal and one abdominal ultrasound I am about 5 weeks and they found nothing at all in my uterus (or tubes for that matter)I am totally freaking out. Am I pregnant or did I have a miscariage? Please Help.

This is a really old post.  PMS symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are similar.  If you test negative, you are most likely NOT pregnant.  good luck

I had a pregnancy test showing positive,  but am having a lighter bleeding,  my doctor said I should go for trans vaginal scan,  the scan show am 5 weeks pregnant but the doctor should stop the bleeding,  when I got the hospital they put me on bed rest and give me some injection and some drugs to stop the bleeding.  After the bleeding stop I have to go for another trans vaginal scan, the scan show that there is nothing in my womb again but I should told my doctor not to D&C for me.  When I got to the hospital the doctor told me to come back for pregnant test after a week. Now I went for the test after a week the pregnancy test still showing positive and the doctor told me to go for trans vaginal scan after a week again by the time my pregnancy will 8 weeks and 2 days.  Pls advice me on what to do bcos am not feeling comfortable at all.

Jeswat, what was the outcome? I'm in the same exact situation. Waiting for the results of my blood test, but nothing on ultrasound, and positive home preg test. Not understanding where "the baby" is, if I got a neg test 2 weeks ago the day I was supposed to start my period, the next day, I started and had a light period, two weeks later start spotting, take a test and it's positive but nothing on ultrasound?? :/

I am in a similar situation and would insight if anyone has any. After ovulation last month I was nauseous and emotional for about 9 days and swore I had to be pregnant but 4 negative pregnancy tests and my period was 3 days late but did come I brushed it off as the flu. Now 13 days into my next cycle I went to the doctors for ovary pain and found out my urine was positive for pregnancy. Went to emerg and got blood work and an ultrasound and the blood work showed low levels of hcg but the ultrasound showed nothing. If I miscarried 13 days ago before the hcg was showing in my urine why are my levels high enough to be detected now? And if I didn't miscarry then why didn't the baby show up on the ultrasound?

ok im so happy to hear im not alone in this type of a situation.  my daughter has all the symptoms of being pregnant.  we did several hpts so far all positive.  we went to the er for abdominal pain and spotting they said it was nothing abnormal because she is so little that her ligament was stretching.  they did a blood test it was negative.  we went today for us there is a sak there and a tiny pin dot ( . )  the technician said maybe yes maybe no didnt give any definites.  this is so freaking confusing i had no problems like this!  he also said that it is so early and because she was hysterical about a vaginal us that all we could do is wait for a few weeks and do another us.  any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone, My last period was on Aug 26 2010, after being 2 days late i took a home pregnancy test. It came out positive. The next day my husband and I went to the doctor, he also took a test that came out positive. He said I would be about 5 weeks. 1 week later I woke up to get ready for work and I was bleeding a bit. Not a lot just a tiny bit and it was a darker color! I stayed home and went to the doctor again. he sent me for an ultra sound that said i wasn't pregnant but they found a cyst on my ovary. When I went to the doctor to find out the results i was in shock!! He said i could have miss carried or have an eptopic pregnancy. I read all your comments and its up lifting to know that the baby might just be to small to see!!   I am just praying that everything is ok and its just to soon to see the baby!! I went for a blood test yesterday hopefully it come out ok!!!   I am still worried about the bleeding tho!!!   It comes and goes never really a lot and the color keeps changing! some days it a darker red and some days its bright red. but yesterday i didn't bleed at all and today it back a little. Does anyone have any answers for me? has this happened to anyone else?  Form reading this page i see that it has but has anyone had the bleeding to?

According to my last missed period, I should be 7 weeks, had the sono, and couldn't find anything.  Did a vaginal swap and saw a very very tiny sac, that she said "could" be it.  However, still don't know.  Very concerned.  I pray everything's okay.  Will call tomorrow~

it is very unlikely that you can see a pregnancy till about 7 weeks on an ultrasound.

I hope everything comes back ok. I know how it feels to sit and worry I have had 2 miscarriages before. And Ive had 3 pregnancies afterwards so of course the pregnancies after those I was always a mess. Please keep us updated you're in my thoughts and prayers.

As to what Jgirl34 said...I've heard that.  But my HCG levels weren't doubling like they should have been.  It started out 431, then 48 hours it was 474 and then another 78 hours it was 494.  So, that was my situation.

I had the same thing happen except I was 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant and my HCG was 885. But...my Dr. explained that until the hcg count reaches 2000 you're likely not to see anything. So give it time. I went back at 7 weeks and 4 days and there was her little heart just beating away. I hear a lot of ladies say they don't see anything until sometime in the 6th week. You have to remember this early on they're very very tiny, even the sack, so just be calm I'm sure you will see it soon :) Good Luck and congrats on the pregnancy! God Bless.

I was in the same situation.  I was 4 weeks and my HCG levels were 494.  I did the transvaginal us and showed nothing. My doctor said I had a blighted ovum, which means the egg and sperm fertilize but nothing forms or stops forming at an early stage.  I had a D&C to remove the tissue because my body wasn't ready to naturally miscarry the tissue.  I was told by the doctor that yes I was pregnant and it was pregnancy related tissue, but it was abnormal pregnancy, so consider it a miscarriage.  Sorry, I wish you the best.  Everyone is different and this may not be the same scenario.

Okay, this happened to me.  I had 2 transvaginal us and they saw NOTHING in the uterus. The third us with my hcg at 16,000 we found the pregnancy.
I think you will find one!!

Heya, wow that is odd. Didnt u ask the dr at the time, or ur mind was somewhere else maybe. Really they should of tried to explain it to you unless they are also clueless.

Have u had preg symptoms etc? I think the best thing to try do is firstly get another bloods done cos then ul see if the levels go up or down. Anyone know if the level mentioned is about right for 5 weeks? Shouldnt it be more than that? The next thing I think is ask for another scan just as a double check.

I hope you get this sorted out! All the best
