5w3d early scan

Hello everjone

I had an early scan a couple of days ago (recurrent miscarriages).

There was a sac and yolk sac inside but no baby yet.

Sonographer said a yolk sac at this stage is a good sign but I've been having a tiny bit of pink blood when I wipe. They said they cannot see where it's coming from and rescan in a couple of weeks.

Has anyone had a scan this early and not seen a baby or fetal pole and got good news?

Thank you

Sorry not experience here OP with the empty scan. I had my Yolk Sac visible still at 11 weeks on my ultrasound, can hang around for a while. I also had light pink blood early on which I was not is normal and it stopped after 8 weeks.

That wait for next scan can be an anxious wait..! I even regretted going for the early Scan during my week wait.
I had scan and was dated at 5 weeks with only a sac. Went back a week later and had a baby with heartbeat and was told i'm 6+4. So in 7 days I actually progressed 12 days.
Things are so quick moving and tiny at this stage... so nothing to suggest anything is wrong.

Had another scan today, baby is only measuring 5w 3d but I'm 6 weeks. Not going to worry too much about that as I know it can be out a few days out.

It took a while but after lots of zooming in, he said the baby is the thick white blob at the top of the sac and we could see a flickering which is the heartbeat.

Thank you for all your messages xx
