6w2d empty sac - any positive stories?

[Daisy-Delilah]

My viability scan is scheduled for next week but my consultant asked me to go to Early pregnancy unit today as he was worried about ectopic pregnancy.

I had a scan and they saw the pregnancy sac, she said she saw a yolk sac (although the report says she didn’t) and no fetal pole or heartbeat 😢💔. I have had blood test and have to repeat on Saturday (although can’t get results till Monday as they are closed). Both the sonographer and the nurse said we should have seen something by now although we won’t know for definite until bloods and another scan. Im totally stressed and really upset.

I told my consultant who said it could just be too early.

Im trying to remain positive but just really anxious and confused 😕

Does anyone have any positive stories to give me some hope? 🤞🏻💕🤞🏻💕

Thank you xxx

My sac was totally empty at 6+1, but then he showed up by 6+4, together with fetal pole. I was convinced it was a blighted ovum, and they prepared me for that being the case… I really REALLY desperately hope it’s the case for you too - it could just be too early at the moment as you’re on the cusp of when things can start to show up. Sending love xx

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond ❤️ This really gives me hope 🤞🏻💕

Im really hoping that LO decides to show up in a few days. I’m worried though now as I found out my HCG level is quite high (18000) and that maybe we should see something by now. Do you know what your HCG was? Xxx

I’m afraid I can’t quite remember… I was so upset and shell shocked and convinced it was all over (after so many horrible prior losses) I think I didn’t really take the numbers in somehow. I’ll try and see if I can find the details in my records though. I do remember that my HCG wasn’t doubling though… so it was under the doubling levels, but high enough that they thought they better continue as if it could be viable. It was a horrible horrible waiting period, on a total knife-edge, so I really do feel for you now going through this. I really do hope hope hope so strongly that it will be fine and your little kitchen one is just hiding - if you ever want to chat message me (i think you can do that via here!) xxx

sorry, predictive put a kitchen in there - sorry about that!

Hi hun,

A bit late to this post but around 2 weeks ago I thought I was 6.5 weeks. I went to the early pregnancy unit after a bleed, they scanned me and said unfortunately they couldn’t tell me it was a viable pregnancy as they only say a gestational sac (not even a yolk sac either). I was beside myself with worry and caught Covid too in between having to go for another scan ten days later. I barely slept, spent everyday over analysing as I didn’t ‘feel’ pregnant. I went back 10 days later for the second scan in floods of tears and when she turned the screen around, I saw a healthy flickering heartbeat measuring at 7 weeks and 2 days!! I’m now 9 weeks pregnant!

Please try not to worry (I can’t say anything as I’m the same) but it could just be that you’re earlier than you realised!! And I genuinely think it’s sometimes the position of the sac xxx sending you lots of love and hugs. I hope you’re okay!xxx
