Pregnant after a Loss

Blah. Back from my ultrasound.

Empty gestational sac measuring 5w3d (about 12mm). I got my BFP at 3w2d so I just don't see how it's possible to be that far behind. Repeat next week to see if anything is actually growing in there but at this point I feel pretty pessimistic. Dr. Google says if there's no yolk sac by 12-13mm, it's probably a blighted ovum.

Re: Blah. Back from my ultrasound.

  • My 2 yo was an empty sac at 5w3d-dOnt give up hope. Do you go back fOr a f/u u/s?

  • Oh no. Blighted-ovum limbo was an awful time. I had my u/s at 5w5d and it was the same thing - the doctor said maybe my dates were just off (I knew they weren't), then at 7w I had another u/s and there was still only the sac.

    I really hope you get good news at your next u/s (maybe you just have a late bloomer??), but if it is a blighted ovum, I hope that the m/c is fast and relatively painless so you can start the physical and emotional healing process.


    BFP1: DD1 born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
    BFP2: 3/18/12, blighted ovum, natural m/c @ 7w4d
    BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence

  • F/U is in a week.
  • My sac was empty at 5w1d.  Stay positive, I'm sure you just had late implantation which I think is what happened to me.  Sending you tons of T&P!

  • I agree with the others. Don't count yourself out yet.  I always tell myself, hope for the best and expect the worst....just somewhat of a mental prep for me. I hope all works out well for you.

  • Don't give up! I have heard of a lot of people in your situation and go back and see a baby. Fx that your next u/s shows more.
