5 week ultrasound- 8 weeks pregnant

zenneedles

I went to the doctor today because I started bleeding.  I was 8 weeks yesterday.  The found an egg sack with no "pole."  They said it looked like it was 5 weeks.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  I'm confused, sad, and trying to be hopeful.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Is it possible you O'd later than you think and you could be only 5 weeks along?

Bleeding + measuring 3 weeks behind does not sound very promising, I'm sorry to say.  I hope the previous poster is right and it could be a mix-up with dates (I know that my due date got moved back because I measured 5 days behind, but I know from charting that I usually ovulate around day 17 in my cycle whereas the average is day 12-14, so my OB was not concerned).  Hang in there and I hope you get the answers you need.

I'm sorry to hear this.  As PP have said - hopefully you just O'ed later than you think.

What a disheartening appointment. I'm sorry you have to go through this. Did they take bloodwork to mesasure your HcG levels? Please keep us updated!

my hcg level was 4,932.  The nurse said that was wonderful.  What on earth does great labs+ bleeding mean?

I went in thinking I was 8 wks and when they did the ultrasound I was 6 weeks 3 days. So lets hope you ovulated late like I did! Good luck!

This happened to me with my very first pregnancy.  It ended up being a blighted ovum.  I hope that's not the case for you but if it is - know that I got pregnant 5 months after that and had my DS and I'm pregnant again now.  It's very common.  Not fair but common.  Keep us posted - I'll be thinking of you.  (((hugs)))

It could be a ovulation timing issue or a missed m/c.  I'm so sorry you have to go through the stress of the whole waiting game.  It's certainly no fun at all.  {{hugs}}
