Gestational sac?

Hi I went for an early scan a couple days ago and they did an internal scan on me. I was shown a gestational sac and was told they could see the yolk sac too. I went in thinking I was around 6.5 weeks pregnant but I was told looking at the scan it looked more like 5 week. We looked at my period and cycle info that I have on my FLO app and the nurse said that you've possibly ovulated late.
I have another scan in 2 weeks to see if there's progression.
Has anyone else been in this situation?
TIA

@MollySxx got everything crossed for both of us, thinking of you to sweetheart I’m the same no bleeding or pain just nothing else either xxx

MollySxx · 15/03/2021 09:11

@Cellwen I've read so many things of babies "hiding" and not being seen till 9/10 weeks. So hoping that's the case with me and you. It's honestly heartbreaking just thinking of it and being told bad news. We were going to announce our pregnancy to family yesterday on Mother's Day. But obviously with the scans not showing much, we didn't want to x

Cellwen · 15/03/2021 09:16

@MollySxx same here I really struggling yesterday thought this Mother’s Day would be absolutely perfect

MollySxx · 15/03/2021 09:22

@Cellwen my mum passed away in may last year, so it was my first Mother's Day without her. And with our news we just thought it would be nice for my grandparents and our family as a whole. But it's just not meant to be right now🥺 trying to keep as positive as I can these next few days and finally have an answer and can move on with the next steps

Cellwen · 15/03/2021 09:28

@MollySxx aww I’m so so sorry, you definitely deserve some good news sending lots of love xx

MollySxx · 15/03/2021 09:29

@Cellwen please keep me updated with your news and I'll be thinking of you💓

Cellwen · 15/03/2021 09:43

@MollySxx same to you sweetheart 💕

Ashkayyyy · 17/03/2021 17:02

I've just come back from my appointment. I have a rescan in a week. They could see progression but it wasn't as much as they had thought. There was a yolk sac a fetal pole (they think) and an amniotic cavity. Like 2 bubbles next to each other one was smaller (yolk sac) one was bigger (amniotic cavity)
I thought I was at the 7 week mark as they said I was around 5 weeks last scan but they said it's looking more like 6.5 weeks? So anxious.
I stil have all my symptoms. Positive pregnancy test. Etc

@Ashkayyyy more limbo for you, I'm so sorry you haven't come away feeling you have answers🥺

What was their opinion on what they've seen today? Did they give much feedback?

Ashkayyyy · 17/03/2021 18:01

They were so wishy washy. I really regret going to EPU.
At one point the sonogropher said she could see a structure but when she zoomed in it wasnt clear?
Then she got another sonograohers opinion and she saw the 2 bubbles. So they both got different readings?
The first sonogropher kept on saying this is a really difficult scan.
My Insides still feel weird from the invasive wand. 😕😕

@Ashkayyyy no, I can relate. Each scan I've had I've had someone different and they've all had different opinions. I agree with you, I regret going to the EPU also. But I don't think private scans this early would be any more useful. Take care and I'll be thinking of you x

Cellwen · 17/03/2021 18:37

@Ashkayyyy so sorry you didn’t get more answers but some progression and all your symptoms is a good sign. And the dating is so confusing isn’t it!

I’m so anxious about my scan tomorrow had a small bleed this morning but nothing since but still not holding out much hope, like you I just want some answers now. Thinking of you both @MollySxx

So many positive thoughts for you tomorrow💞

MollySxx · 18/03/2021 08:59

@Cellwen thinking of you today💞 please keep us updated x

Cellwen · 18/03/2021 09:20

OMG can’t handle the stress anymore. Had my scan things have progressed since last week firstly it was an empty gestation sac, last week an yolk sac, this week an embryo. I’ve got to go back next week for another scan to check a heartbeat. So I guess it all comes down to next weeks scan. She couldn’t see any reason for the bleed yesterday which is good news. I was really expecting her to tell me it was all over today I’m in shock. I don’t want to get my hopes up but there’s still a tiny bit of positivity there xx

MollySxx · 18/03/2021 09:40

@Cellwen oh my, I'm actually sobbing up reading that🥺 my heart is so happy for you💞 I told you not to give up yet x

Cellwen · 18/03/2021 09:52

@MollySxx thank you sweetheart I’m not out of the woods yet. My dates really really don’t add up but keeping everything crossed for a miracle. Thinking of you please let us know how you get off tomorrow xxxxxxxx

MollySxx · 18/03/2021 09:56

@Cellwen each day as it comes💓 I certainly will. I'm getting really anxious today, but I know feeling like that or worrying won't change the outcome. So just going to go in and face whatever the outcome is. Thankfully it's at 9:45am, so no waiting around in the day x

Ashkayyyy · 20/03/2021 00:50

How did it go @molly?

@Ashkayyyy Sadly not giving an update of good news💔 had the scan and I just knew by the ladies face. There was the sac, which hadn't grown, an the yolk. No progress, no baby. So unfortunately, this is my 4th miscarriage, my 5th loss💔 I needed to go to the toilet before I had the scan and low and behold, there was blood when I wiped. So there was my answer even before the scan. And I've chosen to have a medical miscarriage as I'm not bleeding much at all, it's just brown when I wipe. So I just went to speed it along

Ashkayyyy · 20/03/2021 08:53

I am so sorry for your loss molly ☹️☹️☹️☹️

@Cellwen how are you? How is everything?x

Cellwen · 27/03/2021 11:34

@MollySxx
Hi hun, sadly as I suspected my 6th loss was confirmed last Thursday. I’ve been spotting for nearly a week but had a very heavy bleed last Tuesday contacted EPU to inform them and went for my scan as scheduled just to confirm my miscarriage. I thought most of the pregnancy tissue had passed but sadly not. Gestation sac still showing on the scan. After discussing it with the nurse and because I was bleeding so heavy decided to continue naturally but would you believe it I’ve just been spotting. I really didn’t want medical management this time after my bad experience last July but looks like I’ll have to contact them Monday and ask for the medication.

How are you hun? How are you holding up 🥰

MollySxx · 27/03/2021 11:38

@Cellwen oh I'm so sorry🥺 was so hoping for a good outcome for you. My heart goes out to you. Even more so you're having such a rough time. I know once you hear you're having a miscarriage you just want it over with🥺 and I'm okay, I'm getting there. Slightly feeling more human now my bleeding has stopped. It's in the stage of end of period where it's still there but not as bad. Sending so much love to you and hope you have an easy ride from here x

Cellwen · 27/03/2021 11:46

@MollySxx thank you hun good to hear your coming out the other end and on the mend physically I know emotionally it can take a lot longer. Are you going to keep trying? I’ve seen my gynaecologist and explained to him my only successful pregnancy was from my left ovary so he’s agreed to do tracking for me. So we only try when an egg is released from the left. There’s no guarantees and even if that also fails at least I can say we tried xx
