Answer 1

The same thing happened to me. AT 5 weeks I ended up in the ER. They did a scan and they sac was there but nothing in it. The Dr said that it was too early to see the fetus yet or to pick up a heart beat for that matter. All my levels were fine though. The next scan that I got was at 12 weeks and there on the screen was a little baby. I am now 28 weeks with a little boy on the way.

Its still to early to see the baby you usually dont see them till around 12 weeks or so on a scan. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Same thing happened with me.  The baby is just too small to be seen at this point.  Give it another couple weeks and you'll be able to see your little bean!

check out babyzone.com; they have a pregnancy stages section that tells you exactly what is happening with your baby.

Answer 3

to early- Same thing happen to me i had an ultrasound at 5 weeks and all i can see was just the sac with a small dot in side. it is to small to see. Now im 12 weeks and I can see the little baby and all. Very neat.

Answer 4

your not meant to have a scan until approx 12 weeks, because its too small to see or hear at this stage i too am five weeks pregnant, but i haven't had a scan, my doctor has only just sent  a letter of to the orthopedic (the birth choice) for them to then arrange a scan for me at 12 weeks. make sure you get your midwife/doctor to book another Scan for 12 weeks you will see it then for definite. good luck with everything.

Answer 5

In my first pregnancy I went for a routine scan... I thought that I was around 10wks but there was no fetus in the pregnancy sac.. and it was only measuring 7wks!  I was totally devastated!

So they did a rpt scan the following week and the sac was still empty and decreased in size... It was then confirmed that I had a blighted ovum.. This is where the baby fails to develop in the sac due to unforeseen problems and that there is nothing I could have done to prevent it!

Unfortunately it is common enough and alot of first time pregnancys will fail to progress for what ever reason! I was told that it would have no affect on future pregnancys! I was told that in my next pregnancy I must have an early scan at around 7wks to ensure all was well.  I am now 16wks pregnant and all is going well so far!  

But it is possible that you are just very very early on in pregnancy and hopefully all will be ok! You might not see alot at 5wks.. So keep thinking positive  Best of Luck xx

Answer 6

Did they book you back in for another scan? This could be because you are too early on for the baby to be seen,or it could be a missed miscarriage. The only way to know for sure would be further tests. this happened to me just before i fell with my little girl (due in 2 weeks) good luck and stay calm x

Answer 7

5 weeks is VERY early - what has your doctor said?

I had an ultrasound at 6 1/2 weeks and all I could see was the sac and a little dot / circle like thing inside of it . . . I am now 35w 5d pregnant with twins and have seen them grow on other ultrasounds . . .

Keep staying positive!
