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.

HI I am in the exact same predicament as you. This is my 6th pregnancy and I went for my u/s yesterday all the doctor told me was "it is very small", which leaves me little hope. I am supposed to be 6 weeks 4 days from LMP (so 4 weeks 4 days since conception) and I have been an emotional wreck.  The doc sent me for blood work to test my hcg levels and told me to come back in 2 days.  I cant keep going through this pain.  All of the tests they have done on me have come back negative the doctors cant figure out what is wrong with me and keep telling me to keep trying since I have no problem getting pregnant I just cant maintain the pregnancies. Did the doctors tell you what could be wrong?? I am searching for answers anything would help..
God Bless
Mel

Thanks for this post. I just ahd a ultrasound done and the doctor said that my sac is 8 weeks but my baby is 6 weeks 2 days. he thinks there is a problem and I am so worried. I have another ultrasound in 2 weeks I pray everything is ok with the baby. I did see a heart beat but it was 87 bpm.

I went in to the hospital because i had spotting. I thought i was well around 13 weeks because 8weeks before tht thy told me i was 5 so I went to the hospital for my spotting and they are saying i show about 7 weeks and the yolk sac  is there but not the size its suposed to...my hormone level was 3000...Idk if the bby will be ok..the bleeding has minimized and i never even felt any cramping...idk if  should worry im so confused?

Ideas anyone? I had an extremely irregular period that lasted two weeks with only spotting but two heavier days on the 6th and 7th of January so I've been using that as my LMP. I saw the doctor for a routine exam on the 18th and was told that I had recently ovulated (which confused me because it was only 10-11 days since my supposed last period). On the 8th of February I tested positive and again on the 11th. I had an u/s on the 13th which dated the pregnancy at 4w 6d (again, confusing if I ovulated before the 18th). The gestational sac measured at 2mm so the doctor scheduled another ultrasound for the 21st of Feb. On the night of the 19th I noticed a tiny bit of brown on the tissue when I wiped so naturally I called the doctor who had me come in today for another check. This time I was really confused! The u/s now shows 2 gestational sacs! The only problem is that the first sac (which is slightly larger than the second) is still only measuring 2mm a week later! both sacs are too small to see anything so the doctor ordered blood tests which I am currently waiting for the results for. So my question is, has anyone else experienced this? I am so worried right now but the doctor said everything looked normal, no blood, no extra fluid, good endometrium and placement of the sacs, long and closed cervix, just the gestational sac measuring the same as last week. She said it's not bad, but its not good either. Anything from you ladies???

Okay, i found out on January 12th that i was pregnant for the first time and they told me i was 6 weeks.  Two days ago i started bleeding and cramping and i went to the doctor yesterday.  After he did a vaginal ultra sound he said that egg isn't measuring like im 7 1/2 weeks and that i had two options, (1) that im not 7 1/2 weeks or (2) the egg isn't developing like it should be.  He wanted to take blood that day and then i go back on Friday to give more blood so he can test my levels.  I am still bleeding and scared to death.  Please tell me someone has had a good outcome with the stuff going on with me.
