7+1 scan *re-scan* from last week after only seeing a gestational sack

[Loublou1985]

Today was my re-scan appt after last week only finding a gestational sac due to a having a very heavy bleed. I now have a yolk sac but there was nothing in there. I have to go back in 2 weeks to see if anything happens. They tell me that when they see a yolk sac then it’s at least 7-10 days before we see a baby. Has anyone been in this situation and has a positive outcome?

Hi! When I had my viability scan at 7+1 they could see a gestational sack, a yolk sack and the fetus with a heartbeat. I don't know why they're making you go to through this stress knowing that the dates are very relevant in IVF.

Yes my dates are spot on as it was a FET. But the nurse said I could of implanted later than normal and my dates could be off. They also said that my gest sac hadn’t grown in that week but I now have a yolk sac and that’s what they go off xx

I really hope everything goes ok for you and that little embryo grows strong.

Thank you !! Xx

I hope all goes well. I can imagine that there is a reason for the doctors deciding this. It is not the same, but during IVF my follicles were not growing for almost 2 weeks. I thought they had to cancel, and from one day to the other, they grew. They told me that they wanted to cancel, but saw something. Maybe they are seeing something promising.

Lots of luck!

Sorry you are going through this. I think 2 weeks is a very long time and it doesn’t make much sense… I would have a scan privately elsewhere in a week time maximum to check on progress. At that point you must see an embryo with a heartbeat! I hope it goes well for you hun, I know it’s hard as I’ve been there x

Hey. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, the wait is agonising. I had similar at 7+4. Unfortunately it wasn’t a good outcome for me but Ive everything crossed for you. The wait is awful and seems to delay the inevitable but surely the presence of a yolk sac is a good sign?! Best of luck to you 🍀

[Loublou1985 in reply to Bexarama83]

Yes we’re in a better situation than last week but still not out the woods yet. but I’m hopeful that the embryo will be visable in 2 weeks xx

Sorry not a positive story from me, I went it at 8w not an ivf pregnancy but I had 2 mc previously and I had asked for an earlier scan as my others were found at 12w scans. They could only see a sac no yolk sac so had blood tests all week hcg rising but not doubling a week later got another scan found a teeny yolk sac they were all happy as they thought it could have been ectopic, I had to come back in 2w for another scan. I knew it wasn’t right I’m always spot on with dates I had been ttc for a few years knew my body’s cycle etc I would have been 9w at that 2nd scan you can see a baby by this time also just before my 1st scan I had started spotting and then in the weeks after bleeding on and off. Nothing grew in that ttw wait mc again 2w later again at 12w. Positive tho after everything, I did have a baby at 41 naturally after 3mmc and 2 chemicals. Fingers crossed for you, anything can happen all pregnancy’s are different.

Me! 6.5w first scan empty sac absolutely nothing inside. The sonographer even done a internal scan and said ivf dates are very precise I should expect a bleed and will eventually miscarry. They offered me a courtesy scan 13 days later I couldn’t wait thinking having to carry on with meds and injections I changed the appointment to 8 days later and my baby was there sac fetal pole with heart beat! I cried like a baby on the bed and couldn’t believe it. Praying you get your miracle ❤️

Thank you ! Great story and hope I get it too xx

Hi my lovely, I’m currently 5 weeks and 3 days post FET with a BFP. I had clotting yesterday and red bleeding little cramping for about an hour. Called the clinic and they said it’s very common and I shouldn’t be worried. Told me to carry on with meds and I have a scan on Thursday. The nurse did say ivf cycles usually have this. I don’t feel positive at all. I feel like I miscarried. Anyone had the same experience? X

[Loublou1985 in reply to Rkaur111]

Sorry to hear this! Unfortunately myJourney ended 2 week ago as I miscarried. I knew after a massive heavy bleed but we struggled with development so i think I knew it wasn’t going to end well. I have a DS and I had a massive bleed with him and he’s 3 years old so keep positive thoughts. Xx

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Hugs. Did you pass any clots? It’s that which is worrying me with you DS? I’m trying to stay positive xxxx
