5 weeks Pregnant and an empty gestational sack

Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me because i am freaking out like mad.
I thought i was around 8 weeks pregnant but last night after shortly after having intercourse i started bleeding (light) and having cramps which lasted for around 2hrs
I went for u/s today and they told me that there was a genestational sack there and it was around 5 weeks but it was empty. =(
They also told me that the bleeding was because i had inflamed cervix through the sex the previous night.
They have booked me in for another scan next week 28th jan
Im really freaking out over this as i have had 2 miscarridges already has anyone experienced the same kind of thing? Please help me im going MAD xxxxxxxx

Just to keep you all updated i had quite a rough time and was told it was a third misscaridge. I went to see a doctor at the hospital and the took blood samples off me and my partner to carry out tests and to see if they could give me an explenation for these M/Cs i also went for a scan last week to see if everything was normal but was told to go back on the 13th april next week as i havnt had a period since the miscarriidge when i bled for 5weeks. Thats been like 9 weeks now. But a few days ago i bled really light for 2 days and dont know if that was my period but they usualy last for the whole 7 days. I dont know whats going on ill have to wait till the 13th then wait again till the 6th may until i see the doctor again and see my results. Fingers crosssed ay. Im scared incase he tells me somthing bad or scarry ! :(

You and I are in a very simlar boat my dear. I too measured 5 weeks last week and they saw nothing in my gestational sac. I went in for them to measure my HCG levels today and they will take them again on Wednesday. May I just say I'm very glad to have found this site so I know I'm not the only one going through this.  Good Lord willing we will both have healthy and happy babies in a few months! Here is praying that God provides you peace.

i had a belighted ovum with my last pregnancy. i went to the hospital at 7 weeks and 3 days but measured 6 weeks and 2 days and no fetal pole. hcg was still going up but not doubling. my symtoms vanished but i had no cramping and no bleeding. at 9 weeks i was still measuring 6 weeks and two days that when my d&c was done:(  It was a very sad day for me. i hope that your outcome will be better then mine was.

I am preparing myself for the worst but i reli do hope they see a baby on my next scan on thursday

I think you should immediately seek a referral from your GP for another ultrasound or go straight to emergency at your local hospital.

I understand when there is a sac that develops but there is no baby inside this is called a 'Anembryonic Pregnancy'.

The condition is discovered during a scan, in most cases an embryo was conceived but did not develop and was reabsorbed into the uterus at a very early stage.

You should get some treatment.

I really hope all goes well for you
