I am desperately looking for any help or similar experiences. The wait is horrible.

This is my first FET (transferred 2 3-day, 8cells embryos)
Tested positive with HCG blood test which came at 239 (10 days post ET)
Another test 48h later and levels are 539 so more than doubled (12 days post ET)

Went in for a scan yesterday which was 5w3d I was shocked to learn that there is only a gestational sac and nothing in it. Dr said it was too early to see anything else and come back in a week for rescan.

My anxiety didn't help so I took another HCG blood test which came back at 28000 today!! with that level surely I would have seen something yesterday?

I do not know what to do really. Has anybody had a similar experience? I thought my higher-than-normal HCG values were pointing to a viable pregnancy, but I do not have much hope anymore.

I had a scan at 5w 2 days and only saw the sac. Went back at 7 w and had a little healthy baby growing away!

good luck

Same as PP, nothing at 5 weeks, sonographer said there was no signs compatible with life, doc said to just wait. 2 weeks later she had a lovely little heartbeat.

Sending you the most luck and love, early pregnancy is terrifying x

Same here, just the gestation sac when I was 5+3. He said he could maybe see a
yolk sac but wasn’t really sure. From when was looking at other posters at the time it seems like some
see a yolk sac and some
don’t. I went back at 7+3 and saw the embryo and heartbeat :) good luck
