I excitedly went to my first ultrasound last week ( should have been 8 weeks along) and the only thing the dr could see was the gestational sac. He wanted me to come in for another ultrasound in a week and see if there was anything. If nothing had improved it will not be a viable pregnancy. So, went today one week later being 9 weeks are we saw the gestional sac AND a yolk sac!!! Thinking in my mind what a huge relief, progress! Dr spoke with me and basically said there wasn't really anything there for being this far along and wanted me to get blood work done today. Once she got the results she would call if the levels were not Evan high enough to be pregnant. ( I'm thinking how is that Evan possible if I know have a yolk sac a week later!). No word from the dr today so assuming start levels are okay, go back in mondayvfor the 2 round of blood testing. Has anyone else heard of such a slow growing baby?? I know at 9 weeks I should be seeing a little baby in the ultrasound,and I'm only at the yolk sac stage...so confused and feel like im just getting shuffled around with these doctors like they don't know how to handle it. Help and advise would be lovely!

Re: 9 weeks and can only see a yolk sac???
Hmmm, I wish I had some advice for you, but this is my first time! When I had my US at 8 weeks, 4 days you could clearly see a little bean in there, so I think you should have seen something in there other than just the gestational & yolk sacs. You should give your doctor a call if you are stressed our about it, I know I wouldn't be thinking about anything but this if I were you! Assuming they are already closed for the weekend I don't know what to say other than I will keep you in my prayers for good news on Monday! Good luck hun!
Sorry to hear this
I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and there was a yolk sack and a little bean, or rice looking thing underneath. To young to hear a heartbeat but we could see the flicker as early as 5w 6days (our first ultrasound)
I once had a picture until the trolls showed up.

If your dates are absolutely correct you really should be seeing a fetal pole and hb at this point.
I was pg in May went for an u/s at 7 weeks and there was a gest sac and yolk sac but that was all. Blood work showed I had more than great hcg levels but my progesterone was low at only 3. Two days later I m/c.
I know this is probably not what you want to hear, neither did I. I really hope your dates are completely wrong and everything is fine! ((HUGS))
waiting sucks I know.
Your dates are probably just off if the embryo grew from week to week. You probably ovulated later than the typical 14 days and that throws doctors off sometimes, but it's pretty common.
I went in when I would've been 7 weeks according to the chart doctor's use (a 28 day cycle with ovulation on day 14) and I was only about 4 weeks pregnant. My OB did the same thing, had me come back in a week or so later and things had continued so she agreed my dates were probably off, not that there was something wrong with the pregnancy.
Is this possible for you? Were you charting when you got pregnant?
