Hello

I found out just over a week ago I was pregnant .. I have been having a few cramps but today they seem to have gone..
I had a abdominal scan yesterday which showed nothing at all.. i went for a scan because I thought I was 6 weeks.. I’m very skinny and the lady said it would of showed so didn’t need to do a vaginal one.. she sent me to the a and e to make sure that my hcg levels were not higher than 2000 because they should show.. anyway they were 1400
Should this still show? I am so worried now that when I go back on Tuesday my hcg levels will not be going up or if they have there will be nothing there still.. [emoji85]

Hiya
Im kind of in a similar situation. Found out few weeks ago im pregnant. Im 6 weeks tomorrow. Last week i was bloating pretty badly that i was in alot of pain. My gp sent me straight to the hospital for an internal scan (5w 3d) and they couldnt see anything. Just an empty sac. She said its probably just too early to see anything. They done bloods to check hcg and requested i went back 2 days later to make sure they increase. Well the first draw was 6000!! And the second was 13000! Nurse said theres no way they cant see anything with my levels being that high! And the only way she can explain it is its twins and the sac is waiting to split. Ive since been frantically googling and have scared my self something rotten with some of the things iv read! Im back in for another scan tomorrow but i cant help but think the worst!!

I hope we both get to see our tiny bubs at our next screenings!

No experience of this at all but didn't want to read and run. I think it's just far too early to see anything at all on a scan. I got an abdominal scan at 7 weeks and saw a dot with a flicker so I would think once you're at the 7 week mark you might see something. Hope it all works out for you x

How come you had a scan so early? I don't think really early scans are a good idea as you just end up worrying over nothing in many cases. Your probably just too early to see anything. I had a scan once at 6 weeks as they thought it could be ectopic (really bad one sided pain) and only saw the tiniest empty sac and no heart beat etc. All turned out fine it was just too early. You may only be like 4-4.5 weeks x

I went at 5+2 and there was absolutely nothing! Had hcg testing. Was doubling. And a week later there was a sac. Now 15 weeks pregnant. It's too early. Good luck xx

I wouldn’t worry because I got referred to the epu for light spotting that got a bit heavier but they wouldn’t scan me before 6 weeks because you can’t see anything on a scan at 5 weeks. The next week we got to see two heartbeats flickering away so please don’t panic. I’m sure on Tuesday they will find something!

Is it normal not to see anything on a 5 week ultrasound?

This is because it's too early to see the baby's limbs and organs before this point. In fact, at 5 weeks, you'll likely only see the yolk sac and the gestational sac — and many not even that. What you don't see may unnecessarily worry you, but it's perfectly normal.

What happens if you don't see a gestational sac at 5 weeks?

In some cases, a gestational sac is not seen at all. The most common reason for this is inaccurate dates or it is simply too soon. If a gestational sac is not seen on a follow-up scan, or if your hCG levels indicate one should be seen, it can be a sign of a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

Is it normal to not see an embryo at 5 weeks?

At 5 weeks into pregnancy things are so small there is very little to see on ultrasound. Even at 6 weeks it can be difficult to see an embryo with some people.

What does an empty sac at 5 weeks mean?

A blighted ovum, also called an anembryonic pregnancy, occurs when an early embryo never develops or stops developing, is resorbed and leaves an empty gestational sac. The reason this occurs is often unknown, but it may be due to chromosomal abnormalities in the fertilized egg.
