6 weeks pregnant and no fetus on u/s

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 will be praying for you...I know how it can be we were sooo excited to find out we were pregnant...and now the doctor called and said my hcg levels are possibly on their way down because they were at 1200.  She is not optomistic at all and thinks it is another miscarriage.  I am just hoping with all I have that she is wrong.  I go in on Thursday for another ultrasound, and to have my hcg levels tested again, so we will see.  Hopefully everything works out for the both of us.

It's comforting to read what some of you have written. My husband and I found out on Friday that we're pregnant for the 2nd time, we have a 15-month-old boy. I had a biopsy on Thursday because of an abnormal pap, and bloodwork Friday showed we're pregnant. We were so excited. On Sunday I had a fever and chills, on Monday when I wiped it was a heavier reddish discharge. I called the doc, had an ultrasound, said I'm 5 1/2 weeks and saw only a black sac, no yolk. Said there was a 55% chance I'm miscarrying, but I go in on Monday for another u/s. SOOOO nervous, we were so excited! Keep us in your prayers, we're still hoping, but the doc doesn't seem optimistic.

I totally know how you feel!! I am 5 weeks pregnant as of yesterday and have had some light brown spotting, and also pink at times.  I went in yesterday and the doctor did and ultrasound and saw nothing!  She said my uterus was empty! So frustrating! She thought she might of seen something in my left ovary and feared it may be an ectopic. So sent me to the Radiology lab b/c supposedly they had better equipment and could pick something up.   They saw the same thing but think that what was  In the ovary was a cyst which in normal in early pregnancy.  I had a miscarriage back in October and am so scared... I dont want to have to go through that again.  I went this morning to have my hcg levels tested...so we will see.  Trying to stay positive and remind myself that it is just possibly too early to see anything. Good luck to you ...hope all goes well

I had a miscarriage in January at almost 6 weeks, another miscariage in March at 6 weeks and I am now 6 weeks and 1 day pregnant (since LMP but approx. 3 weeks since conception). This is my 5th pregnancy (1 miscarriage and I am blessed with one son),  I had spotting this morning, called the Dr and had a transvaginal ultrasound and he saw nothing!!! He did warn me prior that it may be too early to see anything, all he could see was a ovarian cyst, the type which takes the role of the placenta in early pregnancy. I have had my HCG levels checked today (I have no idea yet what it is) an I have to have them checked again on Thursday. The one thing that is different from this pregnancy to the last two is that previously when I started spotting I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, today's test was still positive. I still have the pregnancy symptoms (sore chest, fatigue and bad temper!)

Needless to say I am stressing and I just wondered if anyone had anything similar?

Hello Everyone again,
Well bad news. Today I started spotting. Still no pain but I guess my body's starting to push it out. To everyone else I wish you all the best. Good thing is I'm really fertile so i'll be pregnant again soon, Bad part is I wanted this baby sooo bad, but I guess somethings we just not meant to be.
