6 wk Ultrasound...Nothing but sac detected???

[Mawmaw13]

So today my baby girl (20 yrs old) calls me from her job to tell me that she has started spotting and is terrified, 30 mins later we are all in the ER waiting for a answer. We find out by way of Ultrasound that she is only 6 weeks 0 days. We thought she was more like 8 week but results of the Ultrasound show a gestational sac but no fetal pole and no heartbeat was detected. Is this normal? It's been 15 yrs since I was pregnant with our son but I remember being 7 weeks at my first Ultrasound and seeing a mass of tissue in a jelly bean shaped sac with a faint beating spot in the center which of course was a beating heart.  We are so scared, the Doctor said that all her blood work looks great and that it could be just so early yet to detect anything. We are to follow up three days from now with more blood work to see if some number in her blood work continues to rise, (not sure what this number represents) if in 3 days this number decreases or if it just stays the same then she has lost the baby. So I guess, it's a wait and see game but it's so scary, my daughter looks to me for every answer and at 20 yrs old, I''m still suppose to make everything better for her. (We are very close) I feel like I have given her a false sense of relief cause I told her that if anything was wrong the blood work would have showed something so they are so excited again and back to planing while I'm in complete state of worry, fear and faking in the excitement now. I want to share in the joy but I think at 6 weeks something should have been detected, something, right?

Hey, I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks and 0 days due to spotting (Needless to say I was terrified because I have had a misscariage) and this was scary blood, there was a fair bit there it was red, thick and clotty.. I flipped. But then I had my ultrasound and saw my little ones heart flickering away (which was completely amazing because I didn't get that with my first pregnancy, but that was only seen threw transvaginal ultrasound. But I wouldn't be concerned that your daughter didn't. Everyone is different. Is she cramping? Because the big difference I had with my spotting vs. my misscariage was the horrific cramps I had while I was miscarrying.. But just cramping or just bleeding doesn't mean anything. If she's not cramping I wouldn't be worried, Just become excited about being a nana! (:
