Gestational sac not measuring with estimated weeks....

[LuckyJaybird]

Hi all....right now I am very confused and upset. Just need a few opinions (good or bad).I found out I was pregnant by a home pregnancy test 2 weeks ago. Last week, I went to the doctor where he also confirmed it. He did the exam and said everything looked good and that I was 7 weeks. I went for my first trimester ultrasound and from there on it has been an emotional rollercoaster. When the tech did the ultrasound, she said that the gestational sac was only measuring 5 weeks and not 7 like it should. She called my doctor and he said he wouldn't know much until I had some blood work done. So, he sent me to the lab to have it drawn to measure my HCG levels and progesterone levels. And I go back Friday for a second set to be drawn so he can compare. He said I might really be 7 1/2 weeks pregnant and the baby stopped growing at 5 and is gone or some other things that I didn't hear because I was still in shock and somehow tuned him out. I feel pregnant. No cramping or bleeding....don't know what to think. My LMP was definetly Aug 26. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions...anything is appreciated. Thank you.

I am almost 7 weeks pregnant.  My 1st pregnancy was an ectopic.  My tube ruptured...and I almost died. it was very serious and scary.  So, to be careful, we went thru IVF.  This is our 2nd round.  1st round I didn't get PG.  THis time, got a positive result.  Initially, my hcg levels weren't rising appopriately, but after a week my hcg levels kicked into gear and started rising correctly.  We also saw gestational and yolk sac so we were excited.  Today, a week later, we went in for an ultrasound.  We saw a great heartbeat, but the gestational sac is measuring about 2 weeks behind embryo.  Ultrasound tech told us we have a 50/50 chance of having a miscarriage.  We feel emotionally drained.  We are just going to keep praying and try to remain hopeful.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I was one that was told by my doctor that the gestational sac was too small at about 7 weeks and that there was a strong possiblity that I would lose it. The baby had grown like it was supposed to and the heartbeat was around 150 so I prayfully thought that everthing would be alright. Unfortunatly, a week later I miscarried. I don't want to bring anyone down or make anyone upset. I am now pregnant again and just made it through my first trimester!! Just keep holding faith that it's all in Gods timing.

Hi everyone!!  I am 7w 2d pregnant with twins.  I went to a perinatologist today, since I am considered high risk, and he told me that the gestational sac of Baby B is too small and that we had more than 50% chance of miscarrying that baby.  Of course, I left there in tears, not wanting to lose either of my twins.  The good news is that they are both measuring 7mm long (crown to rump) and their heartbeats are 138bpm and 136bpm respectively.  Have any of you experienced such healthy (or what seems to be healthy) babies, yet the sac was small?  I know time will tell, but I am so shocked at the news that I wanted to ask around and see what I could find out.  These twins are a result of IUI and this is my second pregnancy (I have a 19 month old daughter).

Thanks for all the advice and I wish everyone the best of luck.

Hi Everyone. This is my first pregnancy, and when I found out in December I was pregnant I made an appt with the doctor to see how everything was going with my baby. When I went in I thought that I was 8 weeks, since they went by my last monthly cycle, but when the doctor did the ultra sound I was only 5 weeks. Then I went in the next week because I was sick with the flu, and they did another ultra sound to make sure everything was alright, and I was 6 weeks. But when I went in this Monday for my regular check up my doctor said that the baby had stopped growing, that there was something wrong with the baby, and that the baby hadn't developed right. He also said that I would have to have a procedure done so that I could have the baby removed. He said that he couldn't find a heartbeat either. But, he said for me not to rush into anything, and to wait a week to make sure about this. I just don't know what to think anymore. The baby was fine two weeks ago, and now something is wrong I just don't understand. Do you think that maybe the doctor just saw wrong with the ultra sound. Because when I had the ultra sound done I couldn't even see the baby in the sack like before all I saw was something really small in the lower corner, and I couldn't see much. I just don't know what to think. It has been so hard on my husband and I because this is our first pregnancy, and we had been trying for 3 years, and finally we got pregnant. Do you have any advice? Thanks.

Hi everone.  I am new to the sight and am wondering if anyone has some insight to share with me.  I conceived via Frozen Embryo Transfer on 11-30-05 so that makes me 7 weeks 5 days.  All on my ultrasounds so far are measuring exactly 1 week behind.  Also, My beta's are not doubling quite as they should.  Is anyone else going through the same thing?  If so please let me know because I am making myself crazy over here!
