6wk scan, no fetal pole, no symptoms! Looking for hope!

[Abitworried1]

I went for an early scan yesterday, I dated myself at 6wks since my last cycle. The internal scan showed a gestational sack and Yolk sack but no fetal pole. (I didn’t see it I was told)

I was not given any reassurance at all, or shown the scan or told how far they had dated me, all I was told is that I need to go back in 2 weeks time with a very sorry looking face, as if delivering bad news.

Needless to say I’m very upset, so I’m hoping some of you can offer me some good news stories where this came out good.

I also have zero pregnancy symptoms, I haven’t had any since finding out I was pregnant.

This is my second pregnancy and my first (which took 3 years of trying including a failed IVF cycle) was completely different, I had every symptom from before my missed period.

So I guess I’m hoping someone else has experienced the lack of symptoms and also the lack of fetal pole but have gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?

Here’s hoping.

@Abitworried1 when did you do a test? Have you done one recently?

Also I'm sorry to hear this is happening to you, I'm going through a similar thing xx

6 weeks is very early for a scan OP. I know someone who had something similar and it turned out that she had been scammed too early. Was the scan done at one of those private places. The person I know who it happened to went on to have a healthy pregnancy. Remember not everyone gets symptoms either. Fingers crossed for you.

Thank you xx

I’ve been testing all along and getting strong positives from HPTs.

I’m just hoping that there are success stories with the same situation.

No it was a main NHS hospital.

I want to tell myself to be hopeful but then I worry I’m getting my hopes up for a big fall. I guess that’s why I’m hoping others have had success after this.

When was your first positive pregnancy test.

@ShowOfHands it was day 28.

Op, it’s so impossible to say, only time will tell. I would try if you can to just forget about it. Forget you are pregnant. Imagine you are not, and that in 2 weeks you are going for a scan to tell you when you can start to try again.
I’m really sorry you are going through this but false hope from strangers won’t do anything but give you false hope which can be so cruel. Hope you get through the next two weeks ok and I hope you have a happy outcome.

I had a scan at 6 weeks no fetal pole, but yolk sac and gestational sac seen, told to come back in two weeks time, baby with heart beating was there! They measured me at 7+4 so it was just too early on the earlier scan to see anything.

Definitely learned the lesson to not have an early scan as all it does is cause worry. I did lots of reading online in those two weeks of waiting and found nothing but positive stories, fingers crossed for you. ❤️

Hello @Abitworried1 I was just wondering how this worked out for you? I’m currently in the same boat in the middle of the two week wait!
Thanks x

Same thing happened to me. I thought I was 6 weeks and went for an early scan due to some pains. They couldn't see the fetal pole and did not give me any hope or reassurance. Just told me to come back after a week and that it can go either way from that point forwards. I went back a week later and there was a fetal pole. I was then properly dated to be 6+3 rather than 7+3 which was originally thought to be the gestational age.

Hey @Beccy871418 I’m so sorry you’re facing this worry too. Unfortunately for me it was sad news, at approx 9 weeks I was admitted to hospital and miscarried. Don’t let my story make you lose your hope as everyone’s story is different and there’s always hope.

Keeping everything crossed for you xx
