7 wk scan, no yolk sac, no foetal pole, just a sac...

Has anyone been in this situation and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?

I'm 6 weeks 6 days today, but all they saw was an empty gestational sac (no yolk sac, no baby) but they've said to come back in a week as "all is not lost". The sac had grown since my scan the week before. How can something develop now? Has this ever happened to anyone out there? I've been told by the Dr not to lose hope.

I'm looking for similar stories where all was NOT lost. This is my 7th pregnancy (6 mc's already) so as you can imagine I'm pretty upset.

Thanks all - advice much appeciated.

Ali so sorry you are going through this. I am in the same boat and the wait to find out has been very painful. I have my 2nd scan on monday but my hcg levels dropped so that is confirmation enough. I hope you heal.

Barack - really pleased for you. Best of luck xxx

Thanks for messages madmissy & extremelychoc (lots of luck with your pregnancy) and Barack, take care and maybe we'll hook up again online somwe time. Am feeling quite positive today and ready to move on and sort myself out for another go. Maybe it's the anaesthetic high, but at least I'm not lying in my own snotty tears just yet! That'll probably happen tomorrow. Best of luck everyone - I'll be back. x

Sorry to hear this. Just to let you know that I had a similar experience after having IVF when I was 41. Then, 3 months later I had a natural conception and am currently 25 weeks pregnant. Best of luck.

well, it's all over for me I'm afraid. Having an ERPC tomorrow. Just want it behind me now. The sac had grown again but still nothing in it - 8 weeks tomorrow so this really is it. Sorry to share bad news. I'm 41 in December so really wanted this to work. I plan to lose some weight, get fit and avoid turning to booze .... need to keep a lid on it with party season approaching soon. Thanks for all support and all the best to you (esp good luck you Barack.
