6 weeks but no baby on ultrasound

[Claree11]

Hi everyone. Please can I have some advice please. I’ve measuring myself as 6 weeks 3 days pregnant from my last period. I convinced on the 27th may this year as this is the only time I had sex so I don’t understand how my date calculations could be wrong.

i had a few bad belly pains Friday and had very very light brown discharge. I went to the hospital and they took some blood tests etc and said it seemed ok and would book me in for an early scan.

ive been to that scan today and they could see a yolk sac but no fetus. They said I was around 5 weeks if this is a healthy normal pregnancy and it’s just the baby is too small to see yet. I explained about my dates and they said it could be wrong and even at 6 weeks it maybe still to early too see anything but It could be the case the pregnancy isn’t going to develop so they want to re scan me in 2 weeks. Honestly feel I will lose my mind in the next two weeks to the point I’m going to book an early private scan next week. Has anyone ever had anything similar? :(

I had quite a bit of bleeding in the early stages of my pregnancy (March 2023) so I was booked into the Early Pregnancy Unit. That would have been when I was about 6 weeks pregnant. They were fantastic and pointed out to me the yolk sac. I can't recall them pointing out a foetus and they did say it was too early to show much. I specifically recall them saying to me that anything could happen which I think was just their way of being overly cautious at such an early stage of pregnancy. Anyway everything was ok and I'm currently holding my 7 month old as I type.

I really loved pregnancy but it is a terribly worrying time and I really feel for you. Hopefully all will be ok for you and the midwives are just being particularly cautious. I wish you all the best
