6 weeks 3 days after ivf, early scan sac but no fetal pole

[alib1406]

Hi guys

probably had this question posted lots. Had my early scan on 4th jul. Vaginally.  Nurse could see sac. No fetal pole. She dated us but said it could to a week either way. I had sickness. Swollen tender boobs and period cramps for first coupled of weeks. Sickness went and I got cramps only at night when in bed tender boobs a few times. Sickness has returned weaker but I've got a strange tender tight feeling in my abdomen below my navel. I had not bled at all. Anyone had this and am I miscarrying... I have another scan on 11th and am so worried ...thanks

Ok thanks anne. That's what I though.

If she seemed negative and said you had a blighted ovum, and if it is really your sixth week after having had an IVF transfer, I am sorry, but I would believe her.  Usually by the sixth week after the transfer (which would be week 8, gestational age), you can see more than a sac, it is usually a little acrobatic embryo that is twirling and swimming around.  I'm sorry, but as she said, I'd be prepared to find that the pregnancy did not take hold.

Hi annie. She could only clearly see a sac. I tried to be positive.  But she seemed negative.  I think she said she could see something but could not see what she wanted to see to confirm anything. I said at least its not a no straight off but she advised me to be prepared for a blighted ovum.

It could be that a sac formed and that was all that happened.  She saw nothing else?
