ultrasound at 5 weeks - no sac - no nothing?

[txsprout]

Hello everyone, I have been reading all your posts since I returned this afternoon from my OB doc appt.  I hope that someone can help...as you've answered so many questions for so many other ladies...I m/c last February - I am now preg.  I went in to see my OB doc today - they wanted to see me early on because of the m/c.  He did a vaginal u/s and the only thing he found was a cyst on my right ovary.  Nothing in my tubes and/or my uterus.  He didn't see the sac.  He said for me not to worry because I am just 5 weeks and a lot can happen in a few days and/or another week.  However, I am really worried that this pregnancy won't take...??  The funny thing is - I feel pregnant, have some breast tenderness, gas, indigestion, frequent urination, etc.  I didn't feel this way when I miscarried this past year.  I hope that someone can put my nerves to ease.  Thanks in advance.  Oh, they did my blood work up today along with my hcgs and I will go back on Wednesday (1st) for another level check.

Thank you all for responding and putting my mind at ease.  I remember with my first child, the doctor didn't even want to see me until I was about 10 weeks along.  Now w/ having the m/c and it being a different doctor - I suppose that he is being overly cautious?  I tried to stay positive yesterday but as the day passed - all kinds of "crazy" thoughts were taking over.  I appreciate all your responses.  Have a wonderful day to all!!

WOW.... I got by period on 9/20/06 and was inseminated on 9/30 and 10/1 which would make be 6 weeks 11/1.  I had a m/c prior so am being watch.  My levels went from 35,135,111,161,360 and the last one on 10/30 was 860.  My doctor sent me for an ultra sound and nothing was found last thursday.  They thought it was an etopic pregency.  I went for 3 hd ultra sounds and the last one they told me the sac was barley visable.  I am going in for a dnc this week 11/2 since my doctor said that it's not a viable pregency.  I worried now that it's too early but I am sure of my days since my doctor followed my ovulation process... I'm so stressed and I'm not sure I need a dnc or should I wait?

I went to the Dr. today and had an u/s. I calculate that I shoud be 5w3d. They didn't see anything, no sac, nothing. They did see something on my ovary though. I know when I conceived. We are waiting for my hcg results. The Dr. thinks this might be an ectopic pregnancy. I had the same thing happen with my last pregnancy too. I was only about 4 weeks at my 1st u/s, then my 2nd i was about 5 1/2 and they saw a sac. At 6 1/2 weeks we saw a heartbeat. My baby was born perfect. The reason I am so worried is because the Dr. said at 5w3d they should at least see a sac. Is it possible to not see ANYTHING at 5w3d?

Boy, I am so scared too!  I found our way early that I was pregnant.  I had just had a period about 12 days before I found out.  Anyways, my hcg levels kept rising.  I had lower abdominal pain (due to constipation) and ended up in the ER.  They did an ultrasound and hcg level and my level was a 3600 and 3weeks 5 days.  The ultrasound showed no sac.  They said that a vaginal ultra sound should show something at 3600hcg.  I have been getting my hcg levels...which are still rising.  I feel pregnant ( the whole morning sickness and aches) and had another ultrasound done three days later with hcg levels being 6200 and still no sac.  They were concerned too of an ectopic but found nothing anywhere.  The doctors are very confused and so am I.  I have had four other children and have never had this problem.  I am supposed to go today for more blood work and tomorrow to see the doctor.  But I have no bleeding ,no pain, and I feel pregnant, my hcg levels keep rising, but as of now there is no sac and I am about 4 weeks pregnant.  I am so worried but I am leaving it in Gods hands.

Well, first of all I'm happy to have bumped into this site. I recently found out i was pregnant on the 8 th of feb. {this month} a week later on the 14 th at work i began to spot. I went to the ER by that time i had already begun to bleed... an ultra sound was done and confirmed that I was still pregnant but very early. Exactly 5 weeks. There was a sac and a spec.No blood work was done and I have a follow up appt. next week to check my hcg level. Now, yesterday I decided to take a preg. test and both are negative. I am confused sad and very anxious to find out my status... I dont feel pregnant anymore....
