irregularly shaped amniotic sac
by stef132, Oct 25, 2007 10:21AM
Hi! At my appointment with my OB/GYN yesterday a transvaginal ultrasound was done and revealed that I have an oddly shaped amniotic sac. The crown rump is measuring 6 wks 1 day which is exactly as it should be and there is a strong fetal heartbeat. I have not had any bleeding or cramping. I have had 2 previous miscarriages, neither of which had a strong fetal heartbeat. The amniotic sac shown on the u/s yesterday was shaped like a star which the nurse practitioner said is usually indicative of a blightewd ovumm, but with a blighted ovum there is no heartbeat or embryo at all. I am returning next week for another ultrasound to see if things have changed. Also, there was a small cyst near the amniotic sac. It was too small to even measure. Should I be concerned? I am also wondering if I need to see a specialist. My normal doctor is on maternity leave and I am not sure how much confidence I have in the nurse practitioner. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what was the outcome? Thanks a bunch!
