Gest sac measuring 7 weeks no embryo seen miscarriage ?

Hi so I had a scan at EPU Friday measured the sac at 6.5 weeks yolk Salk there no baby booked me back in for a weeks time. Sac measured 19mm. My friend owns a private scan place I asked her if they would look again today for me. She got me seen today and an experienced sonographer looked for me. Again she saw a yolk sac and gest sac at 18mm so I guess measurements can be out either way of a mm.
She said she would expect to see it now at 7 weeks but that it’s happened before to others and they come back and it’s there.
My next NHS scan is Friday long wait mt heads all over the place with this expecting the worst.
Does anyone have experience of this ?

I'm sorry but at 7 weeks you'd see a heart beat.

Sorry OP but I’m 7 weeks today and had a scan on Tuesday so 6 + 3 and saw the heartbeat.
Sending love x

Thanks guys I’m prepared and I saw my sons at 6 weeks 2 days I’m just so concerned that my body is carrying this on and growing the sac and yolk sac and no baby is there.
I wish it would just come out I hate this limbo 🥺 thanks for replying to me.

Hi OP i am going through the same thing. Second miscarriage in a row and no children I’m also nearly 37 so really worried this won’t happen for us. I had a private scan today at 7 weeks and only yolk sac - I’ve got to go to the EPU tomorrow for blood tests. On my referral they wrote suspected missed miscarriage. Im heartbroken this is happening again. Once is hard enough but can’t believe it. Especially as I have no children or know I can carry to term. Just to let you know you are not alone. X

Tweetypie27 · 11/12/2022 22:31

I am 36 I do have children I had two miscarriages which just came away on their own and all my symptoms stopped I have no experience of this Where my body is growing the sac still and no baby . I’m so sorry if you have no children yet it must be devastating to go through this twice I can’t imagine.
i wonder if risk goes up with our age then for a missed one.
Im upset about it I had a big gap then my daughter so wanted her to have a close age sibling as she will be like an only child when my sons leave.
i don’t know if I will try again it’s to upsetting but you have non so would try again. Will you let me know how you get on tomorrow ? They told me it’s 50/50 a baby will be there in a week but I think I know.
will you have medical or surgery if it is the case you have miscarried.
I hope you get some good news miracles do happen.

yes of course I will let you know how I get on tomorrow. I suspect they will say scan again in a week and tests my bloods over the next few days. This whole process has been absolutely awful I just didn’t realise keeping a pregnancy was so hard and really wish I had started trying sooner to have babies. I know they say miscarriage is common but I don’t know anyone is my friendship group that’s gone through one let along two. It’s just opened up a whole world of worry - about pregnancy , about the future, I feel so isolated. I was convinced the first one was bad luck but when I was in the ultrasound room today and she said could I have my dates wrong I was like how is this happening again. It’s an actual nightmare. I had private blood testing done after the first miscarriage and nothing advertly obvious wrong with either me or my partner (my AHM was slightly on the low side of average but still within average range, the consultant didn’t seem to concerned anyway).

I also feel like I’m losing my pregnancy symptoms, they haven’t been strong and I’ve only really got slightly sore boobs but nothing to right home about.

i think how I feel at the moment I would have D&C as I just don’t think I can go through natural and I would just like to try and move forward as quickly as possible. I’m saying this now but need to see how I feel really.

hope you are ok. I really hope things work out for us. It’s very painful xxx

It is so hard to go through the other miscarriages I had weren’t nice but it just happened and I didn’t know anything makes me wish I didn’t have an early scan but then I would rather know then get to 12 weeks with this growing and nothing there.
I have a few friends who have had them even with my two year old girl I had complications and bled on and off in the early stages so had more scans but I saw her heartbeat quite early around 7 weeks 2 days and u could see a head and body too this one there is nothing there to see I was shocked.
I think our egg quality goes down and this is why all you can do is keep as healthy as possible TTC to help the egg quality.
My next scan is Friday I feel bad on my partner he thinks it’s all going to be ok I don’t think he realises the risks as we get older and he’s upset and keeps saying the baby will be there on Friday and they just can’t see it but I highly doubt it.
I’ve taken a test a clearblue and it’s saying three plus weeks and normal tests the line is darker then the control line and getting darker by the day it’s so confusing why my body is letting this carry on at this point.
Ive already told my partner I’m happy Just to have my sons and daughter as I didn’t expect to have her I just can’t go through this again as I already have kids. I had to tell my son tonight he is 14 and he was so upset and rubbing my belly it was so sad I feel like I let them down and everyone down.
I wish they told people more about fertility and Miscarriage with age as celebs having them older makes it seem and it’s really not.
I do feel for you so much and I hope you get a precious baby at the end of all this.
I think with our age we just have to expect these things but it’s hard.
Please post back on the thread and I will update it Friday after the scan everyday will feel like a year xxx

I had missed miscarriage. I didn't find out until 11 weeks - Had a sac but nothing inside. It didn't come away naturally. I ended up having a D&C. Sorry OP.

Crimsonripple · 12/12/2022 07:51

@Tweetypie27 You will still rest positive on a test as you still have the sac.

Tweetypie27 · 12/12/2022 08:28

I was hoping it will start to fade as my other miscarriages symptoms stopped and it faded this is so much worse then those mentally your body holding onto it.

Tweetypie27 · 12/12/2022 08:29

Thankyou sorry to hear you have had them to their mentally really hard. I’m glad I know now and not 11 weeks I’m going to have the pessaries and stay at home and hope it comes out.

Just wanted to update that I went back to EPU and there was a heartbeat and a baby I was told it’s measuring behind 7 weeks more like 6 I don’t know how my dates are so out but they seem positive about it totally shocked.

@Tweetypie27 wow I've just come across this thread. I'm so sorry for the rollercoaster you've been on this past week. I'm so glad to hear you've had some good news today.

Tweetypie27 · 16/12/2022 14:10

Thankyou it’s been the hardest week ever. I think the sonographer was shocked that they saw a tiny baby. We all were I was told last week bascially it was over and this was just a confirmation scan as no baby was there. Anything is possible I am keeping cautiously optimistic.

OP posts:
RunLolaRun102 · 16/12/2022 14:13

Is it a transvaginal scan or an abdominal scan? Anyway 7 weeks is too early either way. Fertility clinics usually wait until 8 weeks and use transvaginal scans for the most accuracy.

Tweetypie27 · 16/12/2022 15:06

It was abdominal but by my dates of period it’s been 9 weeks but my pregnancy test took around 8 days after my period was late to show and it was very faint so my dates are out somehow by two weeks.
