hi to all the mommies, I need some advice please I read all you comments and my situation right now is really stress and confusing and scared to death. im pregnant 5 weeks,29 days im bleeding and cramps but light bleed is just going to toilet but sometimes get heavy and sometime is drops and is brown,black and pink is keep changing even my fiancée really confuse what is going on to my pregnancy, and heck my uterus was EMPTY! is crazy!!!! doctor do a vaginal ultrasound for 5 times and there was no sac uterus, lift and right ovary clear, fallopian tube is clear everything is very clear where is my baby then????? my first hcg level is 478, come up very low in the next 2 days 499,after 2 days again it drops for 459, 2 days after again is up for 503 is really make me so insane what is really going on? the doctor advice and decide what will we do,after everything is just like im still in the circle round and round no ending so he decide to do a laparoscopy on Monday. i am so scared even though i don't know what is that mean so of course i ask him how he do it and mother of jesus scare me to death until i cannot stop my mouth ask him if im going to die for that surgery and he said i don't know, god sake he doestn know of course what do i expect. is 2 days now i don't bleed and i don't cramps so im just thinking maybe my baby is safe and yeah is just hiding or is just too early to see a sac just because my hcg is very low and is too early cause is just a 5weeks. tonight i will talk my fiancée to go another doctor just to ask a second opinion cause i feel fine now and normal now. before i forget last Thursday tissue comes  like a chicken skin but the doctor said it doesn't mean nothing still he look my  hcg levels still pregnant and he possible to say this.. is ECTOPIC PREGNANCY. how could he say is ectopic if he see nothing inside and is empty. right now is really stress.

I dont want to scare you or anything and I really wisj the best for you but this happened to me. I had talked and heard a million stories about how it turned out to be ok for other women so I remained optomistic. I wasnt bleeding but at 5 weeks there was just a sac. Then I went in at 9 weeks and there were two sacs and no fetal pole. I indeed had a blighted ovum. I had to wait another 3 weeks before I miscarried and then ended up having to get a d and c because my body wasnt getting rid of evrrything properly. It is horrible and I know what you are going through.  Its such a terrible feeling to wait to find out whays happening.  I wish you the best of luck and my thoughts and prayers are with you! Just know even if the worst does happen you can go on to have a normal pregnancy. A year later I am now 14 weeks. Again best of luck to you!

I went to the er at 5 wks 3days according to my lmp with cramping, and according to my ultrasound I showed no signs of being pregnant no sac no nothing. I was told I had a missed miscarriage. But I just waited it out til my next ultrasound at 9 weeks and now here i am 23 weeks and going strong with a growing baby boy.Its true er doctors are not obs they don't always give you the facts. I was told that you can't see baby til after 6 weeks sometimes and until ur hcg levels are over 1000. And I should mention my levels were also low.

I should mention that rising beta levels does not confirm pregnancy, but it is promising. Confirmation of the pregnancy comes from seeing the heartbeat via ultrasound. Praying for you and your family!

The beta levels are only useful as a cutoff for pregnancy (so your levels would indicate that you are/were pregnant) or when you have more than one measurement a few days apart (to see if the levels are rising or falling). If you don't want to wait until October 2nd, ask for another set of bloodwork and if your levels are rising. I got an u/s at 5 weeks and they only saw the sac, which devastated me. Turns out I was only 3 weeks pregnant at the time (one week post-conception) and it was way too early to see a baby. For whatever reason my beta levels were already 1600 at the time, so they aren't as reliable as you would think. I got my levels taken a couple days later and they went up to 3600. Every woman's levels are different, some women have extremely low levels and others have very high levels to start so try not to google beta levels at __ weeks, it will only cause more stress (unfortunately I know from experience). I'm now in my 21st week of pregnancy and baby is measuring a week ahead! Keep faith, try to stay busy and hope for the best. My thoughts are with you. I hope everything turns out the way you want them to. Keep us posted :)

Im really trying to come down I did some research in the internet n saw that a lot of people said the same thing that they had an empty sac at 5 weeks im calling my obgyn tomorrow I also have an apt for next week at 7 wks to see if the heart beat could been seen. I just don't like the small pain I get once in the while in the left. also my bleeding stop I just get like old kind of blood when I pee nothing much just something really light.

Don't stress right now. I had a sac and they couldn't see the fetal pole I believe I was really early and that could possibly be the case. Make an appointment to see an ob / gyn they will check your hcg levels to see if they have gone up. I also had spotting. At my 19 week ultrasound I found out I was 3 weeks earlier than what the doctor had told me so try not to worry until you find out for sure. I had a healthy boy.
