no yolk sac at around 5+2

[hawaiibaby]

Aaggh, feel like I've had a total head fuck this morning.

Based on a 28 day cycle I should be 5+5 today but I think I ov'd later (cycles are 27-31 days normally) and I think I'm maybe 5+1 or 5+2.

Had a scan today due to previous ectopic leaving me high risk. There is a gestational sac but no yolk sac that could be seen. They were so vague as to what this meant, felt like I put words in their mouth to say that could well be normal for 5ish weeks. Am back in 10 days as on holiday tomorrow for a week but wondered if anyone had similar. Bloody internet giving me different answers and I know anecdotal stuff can only tell me so much but after a very rocky road, I could really do with being less confused.

They did say to get in touch with hospital on holiday if I had problems etc. making me now wonder if they are expecting me to miscarry... I haven't had any bleeding or pain as yet though and don't know if I'm over-thinking the things they said.

Thank you.

I have no direct experience of this but didn't want to read and run. I just wanted to say that they all can be frustratingly vague - I have found anyway. I also think you shouldn't worry about them advising you to go to hospital if any probs on holiday, I think that is just standard advice for early pregnancy. I do wish they'd realise how much we hang on their every word! I would try to take what they have told you in cold face value and try not to worry, I don't think they'd let you put words in their mouth it's just probably hard to be more exact at such an early stage. Hope you have a lovely holiday and try not to worry.

Thank you. What a kind message and you are so right. It is what it is and stressing and spoiling our holiday won't change anything. Will really try and take this on board.

Hi!

I have had the same thing today and I was told it was completely normal, I am sure everything will be fine!

My midwife told me she wouldn't expect to see a yolk until 6-8 weeks to be certain so has told me to come back in 2.5 weeks, she said this usually happens and not to worry.

At 4w6d (or 5w0d after later dating), I had a yolk sac, but nothing else visible.
I am now 28w3 (or 28w4 by the doc's dates), and starting to believe we might just have a little one on the way! (keeping my fingers crossed! )

Err, only one sac visible - gestational sac, not yolk. And a fetal pole was found two weeks later.
