Empty sac at 5.5 weeks? Normal?

[August21yellowbaby]

I've just had an internal scan, bloods are in the 4000's (2 days ago) and the midwife said they would expect to see something with them levels
I just want to prepare myself because the midwife can't give me an answer and I'm waiting for a doctor now
Can anyone be brutally honest with me and tell me at 5/6 weeks was anything seen on your internal scan?
Thank you x

I think it's totally normal. Had empty sack at 6w+ . I don't remember hcg values, but I think it was higher than that.

Did you track your hcg increase every 2 - 3 days?

Best of luck!

Hi

I didn’t have an internal but I had an ultrasound scan at 5 weeks + 2 and I saw a gestational sac, yolk and tiny fetal pole. Hcg was 4841 at the time. Fingers crossed all is well 🤞🏽

I think it's totally hit and miss at this point. Plenty of people can see a fetal pole at 5 weeks. But there are plenty of people who have similar stories where they don't and go on to see it at a repeat scan and all is fine. Sadly HCG levels don't necessarily mean all is well so the doctor was right to give you a warning just in case all is not well. Sadly until your next scan there is no way to know which was it will go. Good luck though.
