Has anyone had an “empty sac” at a 5 week scan (7+5 weeks since LMP but measuring 5 weeks) but when they’ve went back a few weeks later you could see a yolk sac and fetal pole? I’m worried sick that this pregnancy just won’t progress

Just a heads up you have your personal information visible on the scan photo so might be worth taking the photo off and uploading a cropped or details blurred out one.

Fingers crossed for you that it progresses! Do you have another scan booked in?

Hello lovely,
The same thing happened to me, I should have been 6 weeks 5 days and I knew the exact date that I had unprotected sex. Unfortunately, it did turn out to be a MMC for us.
I will never forget how traumatising it was waiting a week to have another scan to confirm the outcome. I am not religious but I started praying and I was writing down affirmations too. Unfortunately it was a MMC no matter how hard I tried to stay positive.
Have they given you a date for another scan? I believe they could also tell by the levels of HCG in your blood, I have bad veins and they failed to get blood from me so I just waited for next scan to confirm.
I am so sorry you are going through this worrying time, and I am praying so hard for a happy outcome for you xxx
