Measuring behind, empty gestational sac.

[lifeofbeckie]

Hello all

Second pregnancy for me, my first was sadly a MMC. Because of this (and the fact I've had lower abdominal pains) I was called in last week for an early scan. I was supposed to be 6+5 but when I was having the ultrasound, the lady could only find an empty gestational sac which she said is very early pregnancy. My heart dropped, I just looked at my husband and held back the tears as at that moment in time I truly believed we had lost the little thing for good (yes dramatic I know!). I was booked in for another scan which is in 2 days time for viability.

I got home and sobbed and sobbed then decided to do some research.

Maybe my dates were out?
Maybe the baby won't ever develop?
Maybe my uterus is tilted?
It was early, maybe it hasn't had time to grow before being seen?

One day I'm positive everything is fine. The next I'm preparing to have another op to remove the contents of my womb.

Anyone had this and gone on to see a little bean a week later? I guess I am just searching for hope and reassurance.

Rambles over,

Beckie xoxo

Sorry I haven't had this but you could very well be right, you may just not be as far on as you thought you were? Try to keep positive

Didn't want to read and run. I don't have experience of exactly this but I had abdominal pains this time round so had an early scan - I thought I was maybe 8/9 weeks but was out on my dates by 2/3 weeks so was only 6 weeks along. There was a (very very tiny) bean there, and the sonographer said any earlier - even days - they probably wouldn't have seen anything. I appreciate I was lucky to see a little one there but thought perhaps it would be helpful to share how easy it is to be really quite out on dates and not be as far along as you think. Fingers crossed you get the news you're hoping for.

I've had this it all turned out well be positive

Thank you lovely ladies, Tuesday can't come quick enough!
