Around 6 weeks empty sac! Going out of my mind!

[Trace0412]

Hey

I’m going out of mind, I think I’ve read every single bit of information online, I’m a mix of trying to have positivity and the next worrying till I’m a mess on the floor!

i had a scan very early like 4-5 weeks and shown a healthy sac that was empty

then they scan this week I’m around 5-6 weeks likely around 5 weeks 5 days - the sonographer hasn’t told me my measurements infact she just kept saying miscarriage miscarriage over and over and put us in a room for unfortunately ladies who have suffered a loss.

it was only when I said - but isn’t there a chance I’m not showing as it is before 6 weeks? She actually then went well we could rescan in a few weeks. I left and won’t be returning to this hospital I have had 18 months of nightmare and this is just the final straw.

I have had no bleeding, no cramps nothing my levels have been good and steady I have sore boobs sickness I’m showing I have had two healthy pregnancies previous and was never scanned before 9 weeks but all of this has caused so much worry. There was never any reason to be under the EPU other than my gp pushing for an early scan as I’m epileptic , the EPU didn’t want me in it was my gp- but I just wish we had waited as the tears, the stress it’s been unbearable.

im now sat here thinking do I wait till my antenatal clinic at the end of may at a different hospital or pay private and go next week.

has any other ladies been thru this, no bleeding nothing and an empty sac just before 6 weeks??

i need to be realistic at what’s to come. My hubby is being really positive but I’m a mix of it all

sorry for the essay xx

Hi @Trace0412,

Sorry to hear about your experience. I just wanted to share with you my story and reassurance as we are not that far apart!

I went to the EPU 8 days ago with right sided pain and got an an early scan. There was a small amount of fluid which they said was a baseline of an early pregnancy and would be between 4-5 weeks (ruled out eptopic at this post). They asked me to come back a week later. This was yesterday, and there was development on the next scan which showed a gestational sac and yoc sac. The sonographor and doctor said this was completely normal and they would expect to see an embryo within the next couple of days and put me at just shy of 6 weeks. They have sent me on my way and booked me back in for 3 weeks time.

My anxiety is sky high because I’ve had previous losses but they were very reassuring that things are progressing. You could just be a few days out. Could you consider a private scan for reassurance? Or another hospital? I’ve read so many stories of women in a similar situation who have gone back a few weeks later to see a healthy heart beat. Try not to worry too much x

Hi @Trace0412 .
I am 6w4d going by LMP.
I had a scan on Wednesday at EPU and only empty gestational sac was seen measuring 7mm.
Today I went for a private ultrasound and again there was only empty sac that grown 2 mm since Wednesday.
I am sure I saw a shadow on your sac but the sponographer said she can't confirm pregancy until she sees a heartbeat so I am going back for a re scan on the 27th of May

Can anyone help , I worked out I’m 6 weeks pregnant from the first day of last period which was 11th may , I went for scan yesturday and they could see a empty sac my hcg levels are 512 , I can’t help but worry have anyone experienced the same thing ?

Hey, I had a scan at 6 weeks and there was an empty sac... A week later there was a yolk sac, fetal pole and heartbeat. I'd ovulated late xx

@Rachae i feel so much better reading that thank you. I have bloods tomorrow my second bloods to monitor my hcg levels , my levels yesterday was 512 so I’m thinking maybe I’m earlier than expected , I have a period every end of the month but I missed April period and come on 2 weeks later 11th may then that was my last period , I’m confused on why my periods done that when that have never happened to me

How did it go@Trace0412 ?
