7 week 4 days empty sac…

[Knickerbockerglories]

After IVF and a positive I’ve just had a viability scan at 7.4 and there is no sign of anything but am empty sac.

I know if the dates are ‘off’ then the pregnancy might be earlier than supposed and therefore there is time for a foetus to show but the internet seems to say if you’re definitely past 7 weeks with an empty sac the there is no hope.I’m definitely 7.4 as we know the dates from the IVF transfer…

as it’s nearly Christmas they want me to continue with the drugs for two week, despite them being ‘more than certain’ that there’s no hope… is there hope or am I just being kept treading water until the can deal with me after the Christmas closures?

not sure if I should/can give up hope or if I’m just settling myself up for more heartbreak 😞

I’ve been given an appointment for a scan on Friday at the EPU to get a ‘baseline’… I assume that means it’s not viable?

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I had this in July, I went for a scan at 6.5 ish weeks and there was an empty sac. They called it a blighted ovirum.

I am pretty sure it's not viable for you and I'm sorry to say this but I don't want to give you false hope. By 7 weeks and you are sure of your dates, there would be something there.

I had to wait a week so that it grew to a specific size and they could 100% rule out viability. But I'd already told myself it wasn't viable and it wasn't.

I am now 9 weeks pregnant so please don't lose hope x hope we both get our baby soon x

@Diamondbabe thank you, I’m so glad you’ve had a positive this time.
I’m trying to get a cancellation today but I think you’re right, I just don’t want to give up hope yet… but I know it’s not sensible to keep hoping.
I'm just dreading Christmas with pregnant relatives and still taking the hormones etc so feeling bloated and sick too 😞
I just wish I didn’t have to tread water for two weeks…

Sorry you're going through this :( I had the same
thing (though not IVF) over March/April and I remember how stressful and horrible it was.

I tried to get them to bring the scan earlier than two weeks but they wouldn't even though we all knew it was completely hopeless.

I hope you get your rainbow baby soon! Like @Diamondbabe I'm also now pregnant again (8 weeks so far) and this time we have a heart beat. Obviously it could still go either way but my point is that your next pregnancy is likely to develop normally too :)
