Gestation sac too big??

[Lisa2001]

Hey Everyone! I am currently 5 weeks pregnant and had my 1 st ultrasound and while he was doing he said that all we really wanted to see was the sac.  Well I take the sac he is referring to is the gestational sac? He saw the sac and we actually saw the yolk sac too which was really good he said since I am still so early. Anyways he measured the sac  and said it was 11 mm. Well you know how obsessive we can be, I came home and looked it up like an idiot and it said at 5 weeks it should only be at 6 mm and at 5 weeks 4days is 11 mm..Well we know for a fact I am  only 5 weeks..My last period was May 19th.  He said everything looked like it should and that I was on track and to go back in 2 weeks on July 7 to see the heartbeat..So my question is, is it normal for the sac to be so big? I read on some site that anything over 12mm with out yolk sac was a failed pregnancy..I'm sorry for rambling on, its just that I really don't want to lose this baby..In advance, thank you so much for your replies..(P.s. I am still having strong pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, constipation, sore bb's and cramping..)

i am with you.  my first MC's i was 11 weeks along when it was found but the said the baby stopped growing between week 8or9.  with my second one, only a sac formed.  so i am really worried too but i find when i get myself worried and think bad things, i get a belly ache.  I am counting the days til my first US, one week and counting.

it is a good sign that you are having more symptoms though because that means the hgc levels are still rising.

CONGRATS on the pregnancy!!! i would defintely not worry about that ultrasound (though im not one to take that advice either!) but  everywhere i've read ultrasounds can be off by 5 days early on,, so your in the normal range! : )   also you could have just had earlier implantation too!    One more thought, maybe you have twins in one sac?? they would need some extra room afterall!!! GOOD LUCK! so excited for you! have a heathy happy nine months! : )

If I can make it till July 7th my nerves will be at ease too! I am just ready to see that heartbeat..

[Lisa2001]

Yea..i guess so..I honestly don't remember..I didn't stress at all with the last one..I actually didn't worry at all.  I didn't have any nausea or anything.. I think my main symptoms was my bb's..I was in my 9th week when i miscarried last..this time tho, all i do is worry. I am just scared..goodluck girlie!

[leighanne143]

i will be 6 weeks and 1 day when i go.  so there is a chance that we might see a heartbeat.  i hope so cause it will ease my nerves alot.
are your symptoms more than your last pregnancy?  mine def are, the last 2 i barely had symptoms, this time around i feel like poop everyday.

[Lisa2001]

I know..I think in a way I am trying to find things wrong so I want be suprised if something happens cause last time I was really surprised.  I have been really really crampy, constipation and now and again diarrhea, sore bb's, tired as all get out and just today I have been alittle nauseated..but I think it is my nerves..Congrats on the nauea/vomiting! Thats a great sign..I am so happy for you..Will you be 6 weeks when you go?

[leighanne143]

i have been feeling so yucky.  nausea, vomitting, sore nipples, headaches, diarrhea and also a little light headedness.  I am always tired but can not sleep for long periods of time.

What are your symptoms like?

i go in next week for an US on 7/2.  your US was fine, we just over think things way too much.  I mean it is only normal that when you have a MC that you do things like that.

[Lisa2001]

I was just thinking bout you..I sent you a note! How are you feeling? I know you can't wait for your ultrasound..I know I can't..I go back July 7th..

[leighanne143]

lisa stop looking things up.  you are just like me and we drive ourselves crazy.  we both need to stay as relaxed and calm as possible.  if the doctor told you all was well then listen to him.  Congrats on your yolk sac.  I go next wed for my first ultrasound:)

[Lisa2001]

Have you had an ultrasound yet?? Goodluck to you too! :)

[Chel125]

don't worry I know what you mean I read into everything! I'm sure your fine if you saw a yolk sac already your are doing great! I am so excited for you I'm only about a week a head of you It will be fun to have someone to compare with good luck and let us know how it goes!

[Lisa2001]

Thanks..I actually did ovulate early..I guess I need to just relax and enjoy it, but my heart is just so heavy because I am soo scared..I am trying so hard not to be, but I can't help it. My sac was perfectly round, it was just alot bigger than what I thought..and then I had to go look something up..the internet can be sooooo bad for us..lol My doc actually acted really laid back about it ..and he is an infertility specialist.  I would hope if something was wrong he would have told me..Thanks! I do feel alittle better!

Gestational sacks come in all shapes and sizes.  Mine is pretty round but some ladies have a sack that is long and narrow.  I dont think there is one perfect size gestational sack.  If your dr does not worry you should not either.

Congrats on your BFP!!

Do you know exactly when you ovulated? If not, I wouldn't worry about it, because you might have just ovulated a few days earlier than the "normal" day 14...and if so, implantation would have taken place a few days earlier as well, and you would be a bit further along than what your last menstrual period dictates.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!
