by my IVF dates I’m 7+1. I had low and slow rising betas and yesterday at my scan a sac could be seen, but it was empty. They are rescanning in a week. They said it’s 50/50 at this point. I have a tilted cervix so don’t know if that makes a difference. My consultant didn’t probe around too much and said he didn’t want to write off the pregnancy too soon.
Any positive experiences please? This is my 17th pregnancy.
Update 17/2 empty sac confirmed and waiting to miscarry.

hi, I’m sorry this is happening. I had an empty sac at 7 weeks too but my HCG was only measured once and was about 400 at 7 weeks when it should have been a lot higher. They told me it was anembryonic and they tested HCG again a few days later and it was dropping. Ended in a mmc and I’m sorry I don’t have better experience but it sounds like your HCG have been progressing better than mine did.
Apparently over a certain HCG level, the embryo should be visible. That’s what they told me at the time but my HCG never got any higher.
Best of luck, i hope the rescan brings good news xx
Gosh 17 pregnancies, I’m so sorry you’ve been through so much.
I had similar last year and sadly it didn’t end well for me. The sac was empty at 6+4 and at 7+4 there was some growth but at 8+4 it hadn’t continued and it was classified as an mmc.
However they did say that sometimes dating can be out a bit and that there is wriggle room with dates so it could be that.
I'm sorry you're going through this. The waiting and not knowing is really hard. You've been through so much and must be so resilient to keep going after so many losses 💜
I'm sorry, my experience is very similar to those above and unfortunately resulted in a missed miscarriage.
I really hope it turns out better for you. Good luck! 🍀
Not good news. Empty sac again with no progression. They’ve told me to stop all meds and wean off some others and given me two weeks to see if I can miscarry naturally. Got to go back in two weeks and then if I haven’t discuss medical management or surgery. I’m honestly broken and devastated as had hoped so much today was going to bring good news. Xx
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I was really rooting for you and this little one. I’m loss for words but sending lots of healing energy your way. This journey sucks xxx
