gestational sack but no embryo...

I went for a scan today and the doctor could only see the gestational sack but no embryo. I have to do blood tests to check my hormone levels and fo back in a couple of days but it doesn't look good. I'm supposed to be 7-8 weeks.

If you don't want to do that don't do it..I would wait and see what happens with my pregnancy I wouldn't let them remove anything either

So I went back to see the doctor again today. My hormones are up but he still couldn't see anything on a scan. He thinks the pregnancy is not developing properly and proposed that I have everything removed. I really don't want to do that. I'd rather miscarry naturally if I'm going to miscarry. I have another appointment next week. It's all a waiting game right now...

This makes me feel better, I'm in the same boat and desperate to get answers. I'm supposed to be 7wks based on my lmp but ultrasound tech didn't see a baby or heart pole on Saturday and I'm beyond scared thinking that I'm going to miscarry, again

I was in the same situation and I thought I was going to have a miscarriage but at 9weeks they found an embryo and a heartbeat. I was too early back then and I think its the same thing with you.

Same experience here. Just wait for 1-2wks. Feb4, According to my BHCG level its already 7wks..but the ultrasound only 6wks and it shows sac but theres no embryo. I waited 10days (the longest week of my life).. Then feb13, they repeated the ultrasound and  There's sac with embryo (6weeks and 2days) and fetal heart rate(119bpm).. When i heard the heart beat, that was the priceless moment..
Dont worry too much just relax and wait

They told you you're supposed to be 7 or 8 weeks or guess based on lmp? Sounds like maybe your early than 7 or 8 weeks
