6 weeks pregnant and no fetus on u/s

[vpolo]

I'm new to this forum but it seems pretty informative.  I've had one hell of a day.  I'm 6 weeks pregnant according to my lmp, so around 4 weeks post conception.  I had my first dr visit today and he did an ultrasound.  There was a distinct black area but no sign of a fetus.  This concerned my dr and he sent me to another place that did two more u/s, one vaginally and one from the outside of my stomach.  This place supposedly had better equipment but they still could not see anything.  My dr claims that maybe I have a blight ovum or maybe it's too early to see a fetus for one reason or another.  I've read a couple posts on here with similar problems and it seems that it could be either very bad or nothing to worry about at all.  Does anyone know if this is normal to not see anything at this stage of a pregnancy?  I'm so freaked out and my husband and I are very concerned.  Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I just learned that I was pg last monday. I took a blood test the next day is is was 500+. I then saw my ob on thursday and he said that I was 5 wks. On saturday I had small amount of spotting and went to the ER and they took blood and my HCG was 11,200 then on monday they did another and I got the results the same day (STAT). It was 22,000. i also had a sonogram internal, and there was a sac but no yoke and no baby. i had another sonogram on monday and still the same. Doc said that there was fluid either in the uterus or outside I can;t remember but, he said that I measured 5 wks. So, he said that I am not out of the woods yet he put me on prometriumn 200mg. this is for women who have low pro levels and will help to not have a mc. it says it will make you dizzy and they were right wow. but, hopefully this will help. Im 32 with my first baby, i have ulcerative colitis so i have cramping in stomach. i have been having a little more spotting hopefully that will go away. I will have my boold drawn on wensday and friday then my next u/s will be on monday. My thoughts and prayers for all of you.

I am an OB RN and mother of 3 children. I have also had 3 miscarriages myself. 1 that did not pass for 12 weeks (and I did not get infected) and 2 blighted ovums. My last blighted ovum 8/08 was tested genetically and had trisomy 16 which is not compatible with life. It was heartbreaking.
I am 6 weeks now and would love to have an ultrasound to see a heartbeat but after reading all the posts I am sure It would be the wrong thing to do. I have to whole-heartedly agree that it is too early and to wait until 8 weeks for sono to see heartbeats. Also I have a sister that had a lot of bleeding with 2 of her pregnancys and has 2 beautiful children. We were sure from her description that she was having a normal period amount of bleeding and yet on sono she had an amazing little heartbeat.
So my advice:
1.Wait for ultrasounds around 8 weeks if you want to certainly see the heartbeat.
2.If you dont see one, DO not automatically have a D/C. It can wait without infection for some time.
3.Have a repeat U/S at 9-10 weeks to confirm. Then make a decision.
4. Only a trans-vaginal ultrasound can detect a pregnancy in the early weeks with any amount of certantity.
5. That "black thing" is the gestational sac or Amniotic sac filled with the water or fluid the baby swims in. Sounds so weird to say "Black thing"!

hey guys!! well first of all i understand how every one feels.I am 6weeks and two days pregnant.i went to the er yesterday cause i spotted in the morning when i first woke up and it was like light pink and dark brown, so i got really scared and i went to  the er when i got there the fist thing they did was drown blood. then they did an ultrasound ,it wasnt vaginally even though they filled my bladder with water, and well they told me they didnt see any thing no fetus no nothing so they told me i had to go back in four days and they r gonna check my blood again to see if the  blood level goes up. Well today i woke up and im still spotting but its really dark  and i only spot when i first wake up and use the bathroom. My breasts are sore,im really tired,and i urinate frequently. i was wondering if it was normal for someone to be spotting and still be pregnant and why is it only in the mornings when i first wake up?

Hi everyone,
It sounds as if I am in the same boat.  I am exactly 6 weeks pregnant today.  I went for an ultrasound yesterday and got bad news.  We could clearly see a black spot with nothing in it. Ultrasound was done both ways (ab & vag.)  The Dr said the size of the sac is too small for 6 weeks, and is it possible my dates are wrong?  I am positive on the dates, so now I am very worried.  I went for bloodwork today and will return on Monday to check if my levels are increasing.  This is my first pregnancy.  I am 33 years old.  My husband and I are very scared.  
Thanks for listening!
