Viability scan, sac, yolk but no heartbeat

30 Replies

We had our scan today, we have a sac and yolk measuring 5w6d, but I’m meant to be 6w4d today. They couldn’t see the heartbeat, praying that it’s just too early, rescan booked for next week. This is absolutely killing me, I’m trying to stay positive but I feel lost. The next week is going to be really hard, just feel so sad xx

Oh goodness I'm so sorry. I'm surprised the clinic scanned you before 7 weeks as that is when the heartbeat should be detectable. I hope it is a case it is just a bit early and next scan will show everything to be ok 🤞🏻Xx

Thank you, very hard to stay positive but I’m holding on to a small glimmer of hope xxx

Big hugs and sending positive vibes your way. I'm praying it's just too early.. Try and keep as distracted as you can over the next week. Do some nice things with your partner or friends when you are ready. Xx

Hi there, we couldn’t see anything except a sac at 6 weeks. We saw a yolk and heartbeat at 7+weeks. Wishing you baby dust

Thank you, our clinic scan at 6weeks so I’m hoping we’re just too early xx

Hi GoonerT so sorry to hear this news. I went through this last July, they picked up a faint heartbeat but sadly a week later there had been no progress. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life, so please feel free to message me and reach out if you need support. I remember a general feeling of numbness and wondering how I would get through the next hour let alone day or week. Just do what you can to get through this next week. Sometimes this happens and the baby can catch up - like some people have said it’s very early days for a scan. Keeping my fingers crossed and just be gentle with yourself xx

Thank you so much, I feel like I’m back in limbo land again, I’m trying to stay positive but it’s really hard xxx

At this stage they don't usually for the reasons that they don't expect to see the heartbeat before 7 weeks / 2000 hcg. Your little bean is so miniscule at the moment that dates can be up to 5/7 days out which could be the reason for difference in your expected size and what they saw. Really hard to do but please hang on in there for the week. Do anything you can to distract yourself (impossible i know). Big hugs to you and good luck next week xx

I know hun 😒, after my viability scan I've been in hospital with heavy bleeding and I thought that will be the end, another miscarriage,but something inside me was saying don't lose your hope and when I had another scan done the little one was still there with a heartbeat 💓 . I'm sure there will be a heartbeat next week. God bless you! Xxx

in reply to camydulce

It just floors you doesn’t it, I’m trying really hard to stay positive but this journey can be so cruel! Hoping we’re just too early xx

So sorry to hear this. The waiting is the toughest bit. Fingers crossed the next scan will show that everything is okay xxxx

in reply to Mglove

Thank you xx

Second scan shows a missed miscarriage, devastated but we will try again with our blasto as soon as my body’s healed. This journey is so cruel but thankful to have had those elusive two lines, we’ll bounce back and get them again x

I'm so sorry for your loss. Miscarriages are so incredibly heartbreaking ( had 3 early miscarriages and a late loss ) Hoping you have plenty of support right now Xx

in reply to Jess1981

Thank you, my hubby is amazingly supportive, very blessed to have gotten this far, it just wasn’t meant to be this time, we’ll try again xxx

I know exactly how you feel. I thought I was about 8 weeks. Had spotting so went to get checked out. My scan shows me at 6 weeks, an enlarged yolk sac and no heartbeat. I was told I may have miscarried.I have another appointment in a few days and, like you, I am hoping that there was a late implantation and it was too early to detect heartbeat.

But I am heartbroken and sick with worry.
