Early pregnancy scan not as expected...
Hi everyone 😊
I'm hoping there are others that have went through something similar and can maybe easy my mind a little? From my last menstrual period I've worked out I'm 7 weeks pregnant. I went for an early scan yesterday at what I thought was 6w6d. It wasn't what I hoped and I came away distraught. They could only see a gestational sack and a yoke but no embryo/baby. I've read that you should see this at 6 weeks... I've been told to go back in 2 weeks times. I know that my date is correct as I had it wrote down and tracked however I have heard that it all depends when you ovulate and if your irregular? My periods were usually between 24-30 days cycles. I just hope it's not bad news 😔 when I got my report back it said that the sack measures at what a 5 week 2 days sack should be. Can that be right, can I be that out by dates?!? X

I am in the similar situation as you. I went for my early scan at what I thought I was 5 weeks 5 days. But to find a very small 2mm gestational sac and we can conclude if its a pregnancy so we had to do a blood test and it came back 817 HCG level and doctor say its confirmed a pregnancy just that its measuring 3-4weeks. We went in back for a scan the week after and we could see the GS clearly with the yolk sac and embryo but doc say the embryo is too small to hear the heartbeat so no heartbeat yet. The good news is, it is growing and its a normal growth for a week. Its measuring early 5 weeks where is should be 6 weeks 5 days. We are very sure of our dates too and mentioned this to the doctor. He entered all the possible date and also looked confused. However, he seems positive about the pregnancy. We are going in again this Sunday for the next round of scan. The waiting is an agony. I can't concentrate at work and kept googling about it. I have read positive and negative experiences so I am keeping positive about this pregnancy. I think there isn't much you can do and only the scan can tell you what is happening. I will update after the scan.
