empty sac @ 8 weeks

[mummyscrummy]

Hi, one of my closest friends had a early scan today but it showed an empty sac, had bloods taken and hgc lebels are 54000. Midwife said its either another MC (she has 1 previous MMC @ 12 weeks), or baby is too small to see, the scan showed sac size was at 7 weeks? She has to go bak on tuesday for another blood test and internal and external scan. this is a very longed for baby so she is holding onto the hope of baby just being small. Has anyone been thruogh similar and what was the outcome please? sorry for lond post but just feel so helpless for her! Thank you! x

I have been through this 4 times. baby should really be there at 7 weeks.
My bloods were always high, but there was never a baby there.

Sounds ominous tbh.

Its shite and i feel very sorry for her.

sorry it s called blighted ovum, horrid horrid horrid

thats what i thought, with my own dd i had scan at 6 weeks n everything cud be seen! thank u for replying x

It doesn't sound good tbh. I had a scan at 6 weeks and baby was there (no hb-so I had a mmc), so at 7 weeks they should defo see a baby. hugs to your friend.

just posted something simlar in pregnancy then found this so hope you dont mind me telling my story here im just going out my mind and really need some advice/reasurance... i will copy and paste from pregnancy....
im so confused... feel like im on a rollarcoaster... can anyone give me some hope? on tuesday i was at work and felt a gush so went to toilets and i was soaked in bright red blood, went to hospital a doctor did a scan and said he couldnt see anything apart from bleeding ad clotting in the womb, he also said i have a tilted uturus and thiroid :-/ and thought id misscarried... i was sooooo upset... they kept me in over night and next morning did scan again with the consultant present she said she could see sac that didnt seem quite right but no yolk sac or fetal pole... and lots of bleeding in and around it... she thought id lost the baby, later a nurse came and asked why i was laid on bed crying when it wasnt all bad news?! i said because i had been told my pregnancy wasnt viable!!! nurse said thats not was she was told and that i only had threatened miscarrage!!! feeling better after hearing this i went home (after spending 1 night in hospital) but had open access to ward, within a hour of returning home i started crampng and bleeding again (no clots) rang ward and a very rude nurse said i wasnt to come back up they were full already and to wait till next day, went up to hospital next day for hcg bloods... went home and later rang in for results and in about a day and a half they had gone up from 6000 to 10500 which doc on that day thought was good increase, so went back today saw yet another nurse on different ward who did scan she said pregnancy didnt look normal to her as she couldnt see anything but a sac and my hcg level had appartly not gone up as much as they'd have liked despite doc yest saying they had? I felt uttely confused so asked to see a doc who could explain what was going on... doc arrives over 2 hours later and tells me its not good news ect ect but asked to rescan just to make sure nothing been missed...she found a yolk sac!!! so guess nurse missed it as it surely cant just appear in 2 hours? doc also measured the sac and it measured 6 weeks (which is correct for my dates) but couldnt see a fetal pole which was a concern to her :-/ so she said not to get my hopes up and come back in 1 week.... im sooooooooo confused!!! has anyone been in this situation and had a baby at end of it??? pls pls pls help with dvice im goin out my mind with worry :-(
PS i really hope your friend gets the result she wants and know what shes going through... sending hugs to her at this worrying time...
