Why if I'm about 7 weeks pregnant can i not see anything inside the sac?

Question

i went to the doctor on friday to have my first sonogram (it was not a trans-vaginal one) the doctor was not able to see nothing inside the sac...he suggested me to come back couple of days later for a internal sonogram..which i just did today...same situation as before...nothing shows up yet...my Hcg levels are around the 13000 and they seem to be increasing ...can somebody plx tell me if they have being on a similar situation?

this waiting is killing me...plx im in need of some support.

thx

Answer 1

Went through the same thing 1 year ago and it was a molar pregnancy. Not trying to stir you more but a molar pregnancy is when the sac develops and the baby doesnt. My HCG went up as well and about 3 weeks later i finally passed it and you should be able to see the baby trans vaginal as early a 5 weeks so you need to talk to the Dr about it because time is not on your side in these cases. If in fact you are having molar, time will only increase your chances for serious infection.

Its not a good sighn. sorry

This happens sometimes its pretty normal.

Prepare yourself make your doctor do the test today!

Days arent gonna change anything.

Oh im sorry 7 weeks is to soon to tell sometimes!!!!!!!

Answer 3

I was seven and a half weeks pregnant when i had my first scan and all they could see was the heartbeat. It looks like a kidney bean at the moment!!!

Ive been pregnant before and i was only 6 weeks and they did the internal one and they couldn't see much. They said that it could be i was to early and to small. i went back at around nine weeks and what

a difference!!

Unfortunately the first time i was pregnant i had a miscarriage due to a accident

I'm sure its just because you are so early on that its so tiny

I'm sure when you have a second scan you will see much

don't stress about it just relax and wait for the second scan!!!

Answer 4

I'm suprised they didn't do a transvaginal ultrasound.  You really can't see much the other way until 12 weeks.  I had a transvaginal at 6 weeks and could only see the sac too.  Your hcG sounds good though, so be optimistic.

Answer 5

i hate to say this because its not positive. But my cousin experienced this and they ended up doing a DMC. I am not sure that I would rush into this though.. I have heard of cases where doctors said there was no baby, and then there was..

Wait it out as long as you can, try a second opinion. Those HCG levels are a good sign. Keep positive and praying.. sometimes technology makes mistakes.. :)
