empty sac

[Aresmommy]

So my friend told me she went to get an ultrasound and saw she had an empty sac.theu told her she is not pregnant but she has lots pf symptoms.(her pregnancy test was also negative) i told her to go get a second opinion.
Any other advice i can give her girls?

It would be a missed miscarriage you won't have any pain or bleeding no sign of a miscarriage the body tries to hold on to the pregnancy even though it is not a viable pregnancy it can take a while for the body to realize it and get rid of it doctor's also suggest taking a pill to bring on miscarriage or having a d&c I'm sorry for your friends loss it's not an easy thing to go through I've lost 2 angels myself and it still hurts

Her body probably hasn't recognized it as a failed pregnancy yet, like UniquelyMoi247 said, it can take some time for the body to catch up to the sad news.

She hasn't bled though

Sounds like a blighted ovum. I've had one a few years ago. You can still experience pregnancy symptoms as your body thinks it's pregnant. The sac may also grow somewhat but unfortunately no baby. Its classed as a missed miscarriage and can take the body a while to figure out. I had to help my body along with medication.

Sorry, but neg test (no preg hormones) and an empty sac mean no pregnancy. Be a gentle friend and supportive.

A blighted ovum (also known as “anembryonic pregnancy”) happens when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall, but the embryo does not develop. Cells develop to form the pregnancy sac, but not the embryo itself. A blighted ovum occurs within the first trimester, often before a woman knows she is pregnant. A high level of chromosome abnormalities usually causes a woman’s body to naturally miscarry.

Pulled that information off of http://*****************.org/pregnancy-complications/blighted-ovum/. You can read more about it there.

Its also good to know that since it is chemically a pregnancy that she will have some symptoms until she miscarries. So sorry for her loss, my prayers to her.

So for sure she ia not pregnant?

[Tavi12]

If the sac is empty then it's not a viable pregnancy

Its called a ebrighted ovum.  Form of a miscarriage her body should pass it soon.
