@u/s before 6 weeks

[KateAggie]

If you had one, and did not see an embryo, did you go on to have a viable pregnancy?

Gestational sac at 5w4d. Obviously worried.

[Cicero]

I had one at 4w6d with M and all we could see was a sac. The OB told me that was all she expected to see at that point. I when I went back in sometime in the 7th week we saw the embryo.

[heyjude]

I was just in this boat!!

We saw very little and I think I first went in at this date frame. We saw the sac, no baby, no HB. We went in the following week and saw baby and HB. Under 6 weeks is VERY EARLY to see anything. You saw the sac and that's GREAT NEWS!!!

Take a deep breath. Everything sounds very positve so far!!!

[chedifuen]

Yes, I did! I had another ultrasound a week later and saw on then. They adjusted my due date based on the first ultrasound and I delivered a full term baby right on his due date.

[EnchantedSoul]

Yes, around 5w5d. Went in for bleeding. Saw a sac and told to return around 9 weeks. Saw baby with heartbeat.

[heyjude]

Make sure you have an apt to go in next week! Don't wait longer!

[gummybear]

Yes. Was actually more like 6w. Went in, saw sac, no baby. Not off on dates either bc I was charting. DD turned 4 a month ago

[heyjude]

I asked the same Q on the PGAL board on the GBCB community.

Although I don't post here really I have found this group to be so kind and supportive to PGAL ladies.

[sangria]

Yep! Under six weeks and just a sac is rather common I think!

Repeat next week.

Thanks y'all. I'm calming...

[bowies]

I randomly had a positive HPT the night before a doctor's appointment so he asked if I wanted an u/s - he only saw the sac which was a good sign. I was 4w and a few days. I don't think we got a heartbeat flicker until another appointment 2 weeks later.

DS arrived 32 weeks later.

[kershnic]

That's very normal at 5w4d. A few days makes a world of difference at this point in pregnancy. That's why a lot of doctors won't u/s at that stage. Good luck!

[FloFTW]

I did!

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Yes! I'm sure if I actually went through my post history on the nest I could find the day that I went in for my first u/s with Babycakes and they couldn't see a heartbeat and the doctor was like...could go either way? I was so beyond upset, my boss sent me home from work and I was crying like an insane person and I know I posted to you all about it too.

My enormous, three-dinner-eating beast of a 6-year old is here to tell you that it's definitely possible.

[sparty04]

Yes. I was about the same as you and went back a week later and saw one and now he's 10m. Good luck!

[autumnfire]

I had a u/s at 5w (only a sac) and 5w6d and there was just a sac and just a blip of the yolk sac. If you'd like me to post it (a link to the photo) I'm more than happy to do so, if it'd offer relief. Hugs from my experience it's early to see that. I'm now 7w6d and we saw a little bean with a hb. At 6w6d we were finally able to see something.

Here's a link to my 5w scan preg.fertilityfriend.com/ug/gallery/04e44c3d48e3608e920117b238a894a8/image_16378.jpg

[hopecounts]

At 5w4d totally within the norm.
My RE didn't do u/s until 6 weeks for this reason, it's scary to just see a sac even when it's normal.

[origami]

My RE never did them before 6w because they so frequently showed sacs only and it just made people freak out. He did them at 6.5w-ish.

I'll be praying you get good news soon.

[chickadee77]

My OB won't even do an u/s before 7 weeks, and prefers to wait until 8-9 weeks, for the very reason that she doesn't want to cause anxiety since there's nothing much to see yet before then.

I missed your announcement - congrats, and I hope all is well!

[twotrue]

Both pregnancies. Because we were with an RE I think my first u/s were right at 5w. But then by 6 wk there was more than just the sac.

I wasn't scheduled until 7w2d, but I've been spotting all week.

[calmcosmo]

Was there a yolk?

I've had two ultrasounds around that time and one (my DS) was just a sac and yolk. No hb. My OB was worried but everything was fine and DS is almost 5 years old.

I had a blighted ovum last summer. At 5w5d there was just a sac. No yolk or fetal pole. My OB (a new one) wasn't worried but unfortunately no embryo ever grew and I miscarried several weeks later naturally.

[bina]

Never been in that situation, but I'll be praying for a sticky baby!!
