No yolk 5 weeks 2 days

[Beckyttc]

Hi everyone,

16dpo (27th May) - 43 hCG
18dpo (29th May) - 90 hCG
Last period - 27th April
First faint positive - 11dpo (22nd May)
First 1-2 weeks on digital - 12dpo (23rd May)
First 2-3 weeks on digital - 22dpo (2nd June)

I’m just guessing I ovulated cycle day 14 (11th May) as I wasn’t tracking last month it could have been later but last intercourse date of that cycle was 10th May.

I had an internal scan 16dpo as I have a history of ectopics and miscarriages and nothing could be seen so I went back today (5 weeks 2 days) for another and they saw a sac (in photo), she didn’t tell me the size but said it was very tiny, before we even did the scan she said she didn’t think she’d see anything as my hCG levels were so low but she said the size of the sac and the fact we can’t see anything else in it makes sense with my levels, she said no bloods were needed today and has booked me in for another scan next Friday when I will be 6 weeks 5 days.

Only symptoms I’ve had are sore boobs, some days no appetite, not cramping as such but almost like an aching and shoulder pain on and off which worried me due to previous ectopics.

My question is do you think the fact there is only a tiny sac and no yolk at 5 weeks 2 days is anything to worry about? Do we think maybe I just ovulated/implanted late?

Also I had a private scan booked this Sunday so exactly 6 weeks, I booked it basically the day I found out so I didn’t realise I’ve be having scans yet with the hospital, I’m not sure if to still go or to wait it out until next Friday, what’s everyone else’s experience been with private scans?

Sorry for the ramble, any advise would be massively appreciated!

Thanks

I think I commented on your last thread about low hcg, so glad to see it’s not an ectopic and there’s a sac in the right place! I think given your numbers and the size of the sac, it sounds like you did ovulate or implant a bit later on. I’ve had both good and bad experiences at private scans so I think it completely depends where you go! I had my scan last week and saw a sac and a yolk but I did LH strips and bbt so I was absolutely certain of my dates

Yes you did! Thanks so much and glad to hear yours is going well! I think ill have to take a couple of days to decide if to go to the scan on Sunday I’m just worried it’ll make me more nervous in case there’s still no yolk by then but as it’s different equipment and a different place I don’t know if they will be able to see more/less than the hospital can

@Beckyttc the hospital scans are always a lot worse quality and they seem to struggle more to get measurements than when I’ve gone to the private ones! If I were you I would still go on Sunday, I think there’s more than likely to be a yolk by then if there’s a sac there already!
