Brown spotting empty sac

[Ellie23409]

I have had brown spotting for a few days now, went for an early scan and showed nothing but a sac. I should be six weeks, had my HGC levels taken at 604 and have to go back in a few days to have them repeated. Since then have had stomach cramps so the outcome is not looking good.
I’ve miscarried before and taken a while to fall pregnant and am worried it’s happening again.

@Ellie23409 I’m so sorry you’re going through this🥺 I am currently going through the same and found your thread when I was doing some research. I’ve had 3 mc, all being last year. I’m not pregnant again, should be 6+5 if I go by my LMP, had a scan last week and they couldn’t see anything in the sac. The sac was 3mm, went back yesterday and the sac had grown to 7mm and the ultrasound lady said she was pleased with the growth, but just didn’t see anything in the sac. I’m now having to go back next Friday. But today I just know in my hearts of hearts that this is going to be another miscarriage. Just know it. I’ve had a sick feeling and now that’s gone, sore boobs, now they aren’t as sore. I’m just so fed up. Hope your outcome is what you hope for x

Now pregnant again**

Thanks for replying Molly. I’m sorry for what you have been through it’s an awful thing to go through. Sadly for me this time it is a miscarriage. Hopefully your little bubba is just hiding, I have friends who have had this and not seen anything until 10 weeks so stay positive. The waiting really is awful. I really hope you get a happy result next week, keep us posted won’t you!

@Ellie23409 I’m so sorry, it’s so cruel🥺 sending you so much love x

I’ve read many stories, sadly more negative than positive so really really keeping everything crossed that this time is my time. I don’t think I’ve got another loss in me. Mentally checked out and done

It is so cruel and we are both devastated. I searched the internet for answers but honestly it’s not good for your mind because you’ll read both outcomes but only focus on the negative. Every pregnancy is different.

It’s easier said than done I know but try relax, you don’t want to be stressing. I hate the fact we have to wait so long between appointments for answers. Have they suggested taking your blood for your HCG? Unsure if this is an option if the sacs growing?

@Ellie23409 I find some peoples answers very blunt also. Like “this happened to so and so. Prepare for the worst” it’s just mentally not okay.

And I had my blood taken a week after I found out I was pregnant and it came back as 157, then 48 hours later and it was 611, so they were pleased with that rise and I haven’t had it done again. I’m taking pregnancy tests every 48 hours and the lines are very dark, sometimes darker than the control line. I just need my little jellybean to make an appearance. I’ve somewhat convinced myself to prep for bad news. In reality, it’s all I’ve known from my pregnancies

@MollySxxI totally understand that. People have no idea how heartbreaking it is and how it’s all you can think of. Especially when you have been through it so much before.

Well that’s great and positive. Great news the lines are getting darker as well. It’s totally understandable to think negative because of your previous sad experiences but it’s all looking good for you. Also don’t forget symptoms come and go throughout so try not to obsess with them, I know it’s hard but I drove myself mad thinking about symptoms.

At my local hospital they give blood results back within a few hours so I wonder if it would put your mind at rest to get your HCG levels taken and see the rise? I’m by no means a doctor so I’m unsure if because the sacs growing they would rise anyway but worth an ask for peace of mind before Friday x

@MollySxx Hi Molly, hope yesterday went well for you! x

@Ellie23409 thank you for thinking of me🥰

It was a mixed day, to put it mildly. Sac is now showing a yolk sac, and has only grown from 9mm. So the consultant went through my other 2 scans and my HCG bloods I had a few weeks ago and he wants to give me a chance and they’ve asked me to go back in 2 weeks, unless I start bleeding or have any pain before then. But they’ve said they’ve either scanned to early or I have a slow grower, or it might just be a failed pregnancy🤷🏼‍♀️ But counting by my LMP as I didn’t track ovulation, I should be 7+4, but only measuring 6-7 and not hitting the milestones for that. So I’m still not hopeful of a positive outcome x

@MollySxx that’s good they can see the yolk sac, try to stay positive 🤞 Hopefully you just have a slow grower and baby isn’t ready to be seen yet! Hope you are doing ok and keep us updated won’t you x

@Ellie23409 really hoping that's the outcome! Still a week away from the scan, but still the same hardly any symptoms, not bleeding (which is keeping me positive) a weeks time and hopefully I can get some answers and move on with whatever the outcome is. Shall keep an update going x

@MollySxx Hi Molly, Hope last week went went sending lots of positive thoughts your way! x

@Ellie23409 unfortunately I had a silent miscarriage🥺 and I have since passed the pregnancy, which was all confirmed on Monday. So currently in the light bleeding stage and have to take a pregnancy test in 3 weeks time💔

@MollySxx I’m so sorry to hear that, how devastating for you. Life can be so cruel, sending you love and positivity for the future 💔 x
