5 weeks and no yolk or fetal poles

[abbi23]

I just found out that I am pregnant. They did an ultra sound and figured out 5 weeks 2 days. There was a gestational sac, but no yolk or fetal poles. I am worried because they should see something by now..right? I have another ultrasound next week to see if anything has changed.

IT is definitely too early to see anything.  You could've ovulated later, etc
My dr didn't do my ultrasound until I was aleast 7 weeks!

Did the dr check your HCG levels?  Did he/she have any worries about your ultrasound?

A week makes a HUGE difference.  I know you'll be worried and anxious until then.  I'll keep you in my prayers!

The dr. didn't say anything about my hcg levels. She was basically telling me that it could go either way. That it may not be vaible or it's just too early for me.

Well....we'll just say it's too early!!!  I have heard many on here that saw nothing one week and the next they saw baby, heartbeat and yolk sac!

One lady on here saw nothing, the next week she has 3 babies in there!
whew!

Try to stay positive!  It's hard, I know!  I went through a miscarriage in May and now I am pregnant again!  8 weeks tomorrow.

Best Wishes!

Congratulations! Prgenancies are so touch and go. I have cramping which they say is normal, but not for me. It's sometimes worse than my usual period cramps, but they blame that on the stretching of the muscles.

Yep - way too soon.  It was lucky me who went for my 6 week u/s and they could only see one sac, nothing else - we went Tuesday for our 7 week u/s and found 3 healthy "peanuts" and heard 3 healthy heartbeats.  Do not freak out yet.  As long as your HCG levels are going up, you're ok.  Just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.  Do not stress as that only makes it worse.  I will keep you in my prayers.

I agree with the other posters. At 6 weeks, all my ultrasound showed was an empty gestational sac---NOTHING else.

Well, I am currently 31 weeks with a very healthy, normal baby boy! SO I know it can be very normal to not have everything show up as early as you are.

Don't even stress---I am betting you will see everything in another week or two.
I wish I would have known and saved myself all the stress I had while I waited.

Good luck hun!!

I had an early u/s with this one at 6 wks and not even the sac was there. At 7wks the sac a yolk and 2mm fetal pole no Hb at 8-9wks everything was there strong Hb and all was looking good.
I am now 26wk 5days and everything is just fine.

These early u/s are a nightmare, i would never have again.

i have been for a normal u/s and have found a gestational sac measuring 9 wks (38mm) but they cant find a baby i have not had an internal scan as of yet as i have to be rescanned next week could this be a similar situation or a phantom is what the doc said or that i was to early on i am very anxious and reading this im thinking positive for a min till i go back to my normal life as i am still very unsure and worried???

I had a u/sat 5 weeks, it showed a 1.5cm sac and nothing else.  the Dr is concened as there is no yolk sac, and unfortunaely i went through this in april and they told nme the same thing and Ihad to loose my pregnancy. i hope it was not an error.  Now I am reallt   scared again as i have been trying to get pregnant for7 years.

Yea- the fetal pole dosent usually show up on u/s untill around 6ws maybe even later. I went for my u/s and I have the same thing: A geatational sac but no fetal pole- I am very scared of whats to be of my baby. They also told me it might not be viable or it too young. I'm not sure of how many weeks I am due to getting off the pill. Im just waiting for my 2nd levels to come back and i'm a mess!!! I hope everything turns out good for us!!!

I had only a gestational sac at 5 and 6 weeks!!! Talk about making you sick! But at 7 weeks, I finally saw my little guy in there with a healthy heartbeat! :) Don't stress too much...it's probably just too early!

[sammie060374]

but mine is 9 weeks i was hoping i am to early but he said the sac is 9 weeks im so worried i will update next thursday when i go back they left me 9 days now

i went to my doctor today and they did an u/s and said im 5wks and there is a gestational sac but no yolk sac. Im worried to death by the way he acts there isnt going to be a baby. Im very upset and just dont know how tro react at this point. He said to come back next tue., it just seems like he has no hope in me. Do i have something to really worry about or what? im a young mother 18 and dont really know what to think.
