7 Weeks Pregnant Empty Sac

Tamara - March 6

Is there anyone out there who had a normal pregnancy who did not see their baby in the sac on u/s till really late? Like 7 weeks or later? I did not see my sac until 6 weeks and now its just empty. Its growing and the dr's say its not a good pregnancy. But my hcg's are rising like normal. I have absolutely no miscarriage symptoms at all. I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this. How many weeks were you when you finally saw your baby compared to empty sac on an earlier u/s??

My first pregnancy was like that. I dont want to scare you, but mine ended up as a miscarriage at 11 weeks. We could not see a baby until 10 weeks. We heard the heart beat once, and it died the same day. If the pregnancy is going the way it should, you should see the baby. I am 7 weeks now, and everything can be seen. I really hope all goes well for you.

I went for an u/s on Wed. I was 7 weeks and they could not see a baby in the sac either. They did a v____al u/s but still no baby or heart beat. I had no signs of miscarage either .The dr. called last night to confirm that my baby has died and that should pa__s it in a week or so. It is the worst feeling not knowing what is going on! And very scary! I pray that things are different for you. Sometimes they say that the baby is still too small to see around five weeks. Could your date possibly be wrong?

I know exactly what you are going through, I had what was called a blighted ovum, it's when your pregnant but the fetus never develops.My hcg levels raised every day like normal, and I felt pregnant.I had my first ultrasound at 5 weeks. But I had to have a D&C at 8weeks. But don't worry everything happens for a reason, and things will work out..

i am 9 weeks 4 days and was told something similar. the first u/s i had was at 5weeks and there was a sac, everything looked fine. iwas spotting at the time also. went back for check up and was told i was at high risk for miscarraige b/c it had flattened out and there was nothing in it at 6 weeks. went back again at 7 weeks 3 days and everything was fine, also saw the heartbeat. i went to the e/r last night b/c i still have the spotting and was told im still at risk to miscarry cause there is blood outside the placenta. but the baby is fine. so i would give it a week and maybe things will change.sometimes i think docs miss things or dont always know the answer.

I had a sonogram at 8 weeks bc of bleeding to find that I also had an empty sac. That's the first I'd ever heard of such a thing. It's called a blighted ovum & makes for 50% of all miscarriages so it's pretty common & doesn't mean that there's something wrong with your reprod system. But I miscarried within the week after the sonogram. Broke my heart. To know that something I cared for, protected, & dreamed of didn't exist & wasn't ever there in the first place. Like I was taken advantage of in some way. If anything happens & this pregnancy doesn't work out, I hope you know that you're not alone. I was in your feet at one time & I'm still walking.

I had an "empty sac" at what I calculated as 8 weeks. No baby was detected, just a yolk sac. My levels kept rising and two weeks later a second sonogram showed a strong heartbeat. My son was born on time and healthy. There is always hope!

Yes, all my u/s's up to just about 9 weeks showed only an empty sac and my dates were exact. Do a search online of misdiagnosed miscarriages. This happens alot. Don't get pressured into a D&C until you have definite proof this is a miscarriage and an empty sac is not definite proof. Hope you get good news.

This is our first too, we went to the OB GYN yesterday for our first appt. She did an internal U/S and could not see anything. She sent us to their lab tech for another u/s immediately with a better machine. She too cannot see or hear anything. However, she confirmed that the sac size is normal for almost 9 weeks. I did not experience spotting and all seems normal and my hcg came in very high. This is the first time I heard of empty sac. My Dr. asked to see me back in 1 week to determine what should be done. My husband and I are both sad but I know it's God's will.

Joining the club - today we found out that at 7 weeks our "baby" is apperently a blighted ovum. My sac was empty and rectangular (rather than round). I'm going back in a week, but there's not much hope of a viable pregnancy. No heartbeat was detected and I'm measuring 5 wks. I suppose my biggest concern is having the actual m/c. I am very nauseas, tender b___sts, headaches, etc... all the normal pregnancy symptoms. I'm guessing that I'll suddenly burst into cramps and bleeding??? Can I opt for a D&C - to avoid the anxiety and get past this? Any D&C horror stories? Thanks for your insights...

Tamara you really should be seeing something on the ultra sound by now. What does your Dr. say?

 

Toni - April 21

Tamara, I'm going thru the same thing as we speak. I was at the doctors about a week and a half ago and they said that my sac was empty meaning it wasnt a viable pregnancy and that I would probably lose it within a week or two. They wanted to rush in and do a d&c but we opted out b/c Im not bleeding or having any symptoms other then of being pregnant ( morning sickness, b___st tenderness.. etc etc ) As of yet I still have not lost it but I'm going for a 2nd opinion next week. My best advice to you is to wait it out and see. Anything is possible just keep your faith :)

I went for an u/s at 7 weeks and was scared to death to see only an empty sac! They told me I was only 5.5 weeks but I knew that was not right! I was supposed to come back in 10 days, let me tell you the 10 LONGEST days of my life! I started spotting brown 2 days before my appointment. I went in there thinking the worst, I was so sad. She inserted the u/s and said "look what a difference 2 weeks makes" There was a baby!!!!! A heart beat!!!! 180 beats! I cried my eyes out, I was so happy. My dates are back where they should be and I am 9.5 weeks. I do not know what happened on the first u/s but ladies do not go by the first one, they say it hard to see anything that early. I wish you all well!

I hate reading these things. It's so crazy what can happen. I has a d&C at 8 1/2 weeks b/c hey saw a sac with no embryo, just a yolk sac. I feel like I should ahve waited to see what would happen, I had no bad signs of bleeding or cramps. You really put all your trust in doctors! I am now in another situation and my doctor thinks I may have an ectopic and wants me to take the medicine. I have no pain and was pg and at 5 1/2 weeks started bleeding. MY hcg dropped then rose back up agin and has been slow rising since?

i was pregnant 4 months ago and it ended in a miscarriage, and now im pregnant again and it seems to be bad news again, i went for a sonogram 2 weeks ago and the detected a sack with no fetus, they scheduled me again for another sonogram last week and now saw 2 sacks still no fetus, the doctor is claiming im 10weeks pregnant but i really dont hink so. I explained to her that my pregancey test didnt come up positive on the day of my missed period it came up positive 1.5 weeks after, i think im more like 6-7 weeks, now she called me and explained i have a blighted ovum and wants to schedule me for a D&C, im have no symptoms of a miscarrige, no bleeding cramping I just dont know what to do, all these hope stories really put some hope back in my life, ill update you all and may god be with all of you
