Pregnancy Info HOME

I had an empty sac at 9 weeks which I could not believe it so I waited for 2 weeks before I went for another scan, unfortunately the sac was empty although I had all the pregnancy symptoms. I went for D & C on 11th week.

i have just been for my second v____al u/s a week apart both times they have told me i am 5 1/2 weeks???although i am sure i am further than that! i have slight spotting but no pain! now i have to wait for another 10 days to find out whether or not i am carrying a baby or not :-( i am feeling scared and lonely as my other half works away, but i am praying and hoping that everything is ok!!

I had an u/s two weeks ago and I should have been 10 weeks pg. The tech. said the embryo stopped growing at 6.5 weeks. Since then I have not miscarried, spotted or experienced any cramping and I am still feeling pregnant. The only thing I've seen is white mucous. I have another u/s tomorrow to confirm if I'm still pregnant or if i may need to schedule a d&c. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this???

Please if you could rea__sure me that this could be ok let me know. I went to the Dr. today and they said my sac was empty. please help. This is my first pregnancy and i am 35 yrs old with A neg. blood. my email is sartinteresa@hotmail.com

I just left my 2nd u/s which confirmed that I do in fact have a blighted ovum (empty sac). The sac had grown to 6w1d. I am sad but relieved to know what is going on with my body. I have continued to have all the symptoms. The Dr. said that I do not have to have a d&c, it is my choice. He believes that the sac will resolve itself or I will begin to bleed. I am scheduled for another u/s on July 5, if I do not start to bleed before then. This will determine if the sac had dissolved or if I then need to have a d&c. I pray that I do not need a d&c because I am concerned about scarring - the dr. agreeded that I should be, as there is always that chance.

I am with all of you. At 6 weeks the doctor diagnosed and empty sac and could not find the baby. After a week during a u/s they found a heartbeat. I was very excited and announced the pregnancy to friends and family. I went to the Doc today for my 12 weeks and was ready to hear the heartbeat. It never happened. They did an u/s and they diagnosed a "missed miscarriage". They do not know when I lost the baby.. I go for my D&C tomorrow.. I had no idea I had lost the baby. Good luck to everyone and please pray for me as I am not doing well emotionally.

patricia, i am praying for you hun i am not doing well emotionally either! it has put such a strain on my partner and i ! i dont even know if we are gonna be ok, although i havent miscarried and have until next week for them to see if they can see a baby in the sac, i am scared my whole world seems to be caving in and there is nothing i can do about it!! but you are in my prayers sweetheart!

i had an early scan at about 4 wks had to go back in 10 days then in 2 wks it took them that long to discover i was carrying twins they are now 3, had a miscarriage back in april done a test middle of may and it was negative done one at the end of may and it came out positive went to the hospital for a scan and they said they could see a sac but nothing else have to go again in a weeks time after waiting a week already not sure what it will be like have all the symptoms of pregnancy tiredness, headaches and sore b___sts, could be that i had only just fallen and was early, but their is hope that you dont see anything up until 8-9 weeks

I had a previous miscarriage. It has taken us about a year to become pregnant again. Today, I went in and they saw an empty sac - no baby - no heartbeat. I'm at 8 weeks. I had no "major" systoms on both pregnancies. This time I had a sharp cramp in my right side that litterly lasted for 1 second. I had brown discharge (less than a teaspoon) for 1 day only. When I called my doctor they said that I "should monitor it". Meaning having a cramp for 1 second and only 1 day of brown spotting could have meant an infection. This is very painful emotionaly because many sucessful pregnancies have more than 1 second of cramping. I was also reading on line that a brown spotting at 1-10 weeks can meen "old blood" caused by pressure of the growth inside. I have to go for another blood test on Friday and another US on Monday. There "3D" US didn't look 3D to me. The doctor told me it is not a viable pregnancy. As I write this, I'm still in shock because we found this out only a few hours ago. Another concern the doctor had is that the sac is odd shapped.

I posted a few messages. This is my story...My first u/s at 7 weeks showed an empty sac. My 2nd u/s 2 and a half weeks later showed a fetus and strong heartbeat however it was 19 days behind...I was only 7 weeks not 9 and a half. I was overjoyed to say the least. I just had my 3rd u/s last night which showed an empty sac again. I just can't figure out what happened. The doctor thinks my body absorbed the fetus even though I haven't bled or cramped. This is undoubtedly the hardest thing I've ever gone through as this is my 2nd failed pregnancy in a year. Better luck to you all.

Hi, I just had a miscarriage! I was spotting today and went to the doctor they did any ultrasound and I was 8weeks but the fetus didnt have a heartbeat.. So they did a D&C... Its very emotional but my husband and I will try again in 3months.. I wonder will my next pregnancy will be normal and has anyone experienced this please help me???

First of all sorry for my English, I'm romanian and live in Spain :). I had my last period the 6th of April. Yesterday I went for an u/s, thinking that I was 9 weeks pregnant. The doctor could see the sac in the uterus but not the embryo. The sac is 1,14cm, the doctor said I could be 3 or 4 weeks pregnant, but that's impossible because since I found out I might be pregnant, which was a month ago, me and my husband had no intercourses. I'm so confused, I'm afraid the sac is empty. Please help me...

Jennifer, I just saw your post today. The same thing happened to me. I was 10 and a 1/2 weeks when I got my D&C done. I had no idea something had happened to the baby because I felt fine. No pain or bleeding, just pregnancy symptoms all the way through until I had the D&C done. I did have the white mucus which I told the doctor about but they didn't pay much interest to. The one thing that confirmed it to me was the brown discharge I began to have and a little blood that came out the morning before the D&C. It took my body that long to give me a sign that something was wrong. I'm sorry to hear about your baby. I'm not telling you my story to scare you. I keep on telling myself, well at least I know the baby felt nothing because it never developed. I never saw anything. I know I read another post here from someone saying they are having problems with their partner because of this. Me and my husband did as well. It wasn't until Tuesday that things got really ugly between us verbally that we realized we neede to talk about this experience. We had not talked much about it and tried to treat it as it never existed. Please anyone out there reading, don't do this! Me and my husband never argued like this before but this pregnancy put alot of stress on us. Now were doing much better once we both cried, told the story in our words, and comforted each other. We are going to try starting to conceive July 1. By this time I should already have done 2 cycles. Doctor said to wait till August but we don't want to. We figure we run the same risk either way. We are not desperate to get pregnant to replace our baby, we could never do that, we just want to experience the joy of being pregnant again and have something positive to think about and look forward to rather than being in depression for so long. I won't forget my 1st baby so I'll still grieve for him/her. At least now with a positive att_tude I can watch baby commecials and see pregnant moms all around without crying uncontrollably!

Does anyone know if there's anything I can take to induce a miscarriage?? I really don't want to have to go for a D&C. I'm really worried about scarring.

Hello Ladies: I just wanted to write to try and offer some support to you all. I never thought that I would be going through this. I am on pregnancy number 3. My first child was born with Cerebral Palsy and was 90% brain damages and ultimately pa__sed at age two and a half. I had delivered a perfect beautiful baby girl 11 weeks prior to my older daughters pa__sing. No problems what so ever. That was 13 years ago. My husband and I just got married in April and found out we were pregnant the day before Mother's Day (what a wonderful gift that was for us). I had a blood test to confirm that following week and yes we were 100% pregnant. We were expecting in mid-January. Unfortunatly, I went for my first prenatal appointment complete with ultrasound yesterday. They measured the baby and it measured out for 6 wks along. The tech said my dates must have been off. I knew they weren't because we had been confirmed for 5 wks. I should've been measuring for the 10 wks we thought we were. Upon further review of the ultrasound there was no fetal pole and the sac was empty. The pregancy was no longer viable. We were given the option of the D&C or to let the sac pa__s naturally. We have chosen to have the D&C on Monday. All I can say at this point is that I know we have made the right decision. I came across this website in a google search for "empty yolk sac" and I am so glad that I did. Reading your stories have helped me to make the right decesion for us. I just want to thank you for sharing your experiences. We will try again as soon as we are able. My only question is when does the pain go away? My daughter has been gone for 13yrs and I still feel that everyday. Will it be the same with this baby as well? Thanks again for sharing.

I wen to the Dr two days ago and he makes me an ultrasound, he told me that the sac is empty, I am 6 weeks pregnant and he makes me a HCG blood test, the hcg test came high (8025) is that good or bad, It could be an ectopic pregnancy?
