Had an ultrasound. It was empty.

Had an ultrasound that showed nothing when I was 6wk 2 days. Tech said might be just earlier than they think I am, ectopic or going to m/c. I'm irregular so hoping that I'm just earlier than expected. Dr appt on the 14th.

Hi Chevy,don't be upset.there is a term called delayed conception.get a blood beta HCG done and repeat same after 48 hours if first is in pregnancy range.normally beta HCG doubles in 48 hours.this will remove the doubt , completely.if the first reading is in​ non pregnant range,then I am sorry to say,you aren't pregnant.if it doubles,relax and repeat USG after 2weeks..

Hi I don't see Dr til the 14th. That's when he will order bloodwork. I can check with pregnancy tests at home but I just haven't done that yet. They were getting darker every 2 days though.

With my first I had a scan at 9 weeks and there was no baby, I was so upset but I didn't have anything unusual like bleeding or anything so I just had to wait, we decided to do another scan at 15 weeks to see what's going on and there she was, strong heart beat and moving around. She is now 2. Just stay positive, that's kind the only advice I can give.

I hope all goes well for you. I understand being irregular. I'm the same way. With my son they changed the due date three times.

I had it happen to me last November . I was bleeding tho when I was told this so I knew I had miscarried. This time they won't scan me until I'm 8+ in case my dates would be wrong and they see an empty sac. I hope all works out for you x
