More important than the weeks is the HCG level. You should see a gestacional sac when HCG > 1000 so you were a little early. I’m sure they will repeat it in a week. Good luck!
Thanks so much for reply. That’s what I have been reading is about hcg levels. so hopefully Monday when they do a repeat scan my levels should be well above 1000 so we could see something.
I would second that when I did IVF and went for private scan they didn't advise a scan until hcg was well above 1000. Hopefully you will see somert at next scan.
I had very good doubling/tripling of hcg levels and had a live ectopic - as others have said once your hcg is over 1000 or so then a sac should definitely be seen - hopefully your next scan should show Better news x
Happened to a friend of mine. They couldn’t see a sac at week 5 + and asked her to come back in 10 days and everything was fine. It could just be early like others have pointed out. Wishing you luck for the next scan, I can’t imagine how anxious the wait will be.
I wonder why they scanned so early? There’s not much they can expect to see at 5 weeks. All it achieves is cause unnecessary stress. Sorry you have to go through this.
I know it’s weird I had to do IVF with my first DD and they did an early scan but it was 5 weeks +4 days. my hcg levels were higher my first hcg with her was 350 and by the time I did her scan I was well above 3000 we saw a heartbeat and everything. Feeling a little better. Thanks everyone for your kind words. I am anxious for tomorrow’s scan but also scared it’s going to be the same thing cause it’s so early. Hopefully my hcg levels are still tripling and my hcg is now 2500 or higher.
