6 weeks preg., no embryo seen and worried

This is my first time on here. I found this website while looking for some information about my pregnancy, and I am very excited to know there is a place like this with people going through some of the same things.  I am 25 and pregnant with my first child. I went for my first ultrasound on May 23rd thinking I was 6 weeks by my LMP, (however my periods are not regular).  All they saw at this visit was the gestational sac and said that I was probably just 5 weeks or so.  Well, I went back on June 2nd for what should be my 6 week visit ( and I know I am at least 6 weeks going by the earliest point you can have a positive preg. test) and the gestational sac had grown and they saw a good yolk sac but were unable to see a fetal pole or hb yet.  This worried me bc everywhere I read it says that almost always at 6w. you should see the fetal pole.  Has anyone else definetely been 6 w. but unable to see the baby yet.  Should I be worried?.  I have also had some cramping similar to period cramping in my lower back with light spotting, sometimes reddish and sometimes brownish. Has anyone had this as well and yet everything be ok. I have to wait  a whole week to go for another us, and it is just so hard to wait and not know if any of this is normal. Please give my your honest opinion. I dont want false reassurance. Thank you very much, Beth

Hello everyone I just went in to the E.R. for light bleeding and brown spotting. I was told that I was 12 weeks by my LMP. But the ultrasound confirmed I was only 7 weeks. She saw a sac but no sign of a fetus and took some blood to confirm that I was 7 weeks and I was still pregnant. She didn't say threatned miscarriage but she said my diagnose was Bleeding during pregnancy. I am scheduled for another ultrasound in 1 week. This is my 7th pregnancy but the 1st with these symptoms.  I pray that my pregnancy continues and my baby will be healthy. I am so grateful that I found this site and I will update my information soon.

I have been so scared because I thought I was at least 7 weeks LMP was 5/11  but I am irregular. And when I went for a regular check up 4 weeks ago (didnt even consider being pregnant) they ran some tests and did a pap smear and did a routine PG test. and it came negative. But a couple of days ago I took a PG and it showed positive. Went for an US and you can see the sak but foc but no fetus at all. So im going back in THREE weeks. SOOO scared and nervous.

I literally found out i was pregnat like four or five days ago. i was going to find a ob and start prenatlesand what not. however the day after i had a clinic visit to prove i was pregnant, i cramped some for about teo minutes ant then it stopped, i checked and i was bleeding, it was a pink at first, then it was a dark brownish red, i went straight to the er and they told me it was what they call a threatened abortion and my hormone levels were low for being pregnant. however i wouldnt be far along at all, i had my last day of my lmp wich was march 5th 2013. i should havestarted my period aroundthe 28th of march. but it never came. i took three home tests all positiv the clinic one was positive. Anyhow back to the er. they said i had to.come in two days to see if my hormones had doubled or anything the next day i was still bleeding not a lot at all but enough, soi went to a diff hospital, they did and ultra soundand didnt see amything in my uterus at all. an they said the same thing about the threatened abortion. but it could alsobe  i could have a tubal pregnancy or its just to early to see anything because i could kust have a couple cells in my uterus and they cant see them.yet.. i had my.blood taken again today wich is april 6th and i go in to review them on monday the 8th.and see the ob they referred me to, i get to see an ob instead of a er doc. maybe they will tell me some better news, fingers crossed!

Based in my LMP, I thought I was 6-7 weeks.  I went to the bathroom and had bright red blood when I willed which scared me.  I went to a GYN since my OB was closed on Fridays and she did a vaginal ultrasound and found an empty gestational sac.  She told me that I was either only about 2 weeks along or that I would have a miscarriage.  After the ultrasound I had some light brown spotting and have continued to have it in very small amounts each time I wipe.  I'm continuing my prenatal vitamins, using 25mg Progesterone suppositories once daily and praying hard.
