Pregnant after IF

Empty sac at 5 wks 2 days - odds?

I have my second ultrasound (6wks2days) tomorrow and I'm really nervous.  Last week at 5 weeks 2 days I had an ultrasound for my OHSS and the tech was able to see the gestational sac but no yolk sac and no fetal pole.  They told me this was normal, but I'm really nervous that I won't see anything tomorrow.  The sac was measuring 5 weeks, 3 days.  Anyone else have an ultrasound that early and everything turned out okay?

Re: Empty sac at 5 wks 2 days - odds?

  • All I saw was a sac as well at my 1st u/s which was 5W3D. When I went in at 5W6D due to some spotting I saw a yolk sac and the very beginning of a heartbeat.

  • I went in at 5w2d as well. They saw the gestational sac & were pretty sure they saw the yolk-but not 100%. I had to come back in 2 days later where there was a clear shot of the yolk. At my next appt 6w2d, I had a hb of 122.

  • All I saw on my 5w2d u/s was a sac. I didnt see a yolk sack or fetal pole in there. When we went back the following week it was more obvious there was something in there and we had a HB but it was not measurable but it was confirmed it was there. At 7w2d we were able to measure the HB. GL and try not to freak, its totally normal to see what you saw that early. Things change so quickly in there!

  • At 5w4d I had an ultrasound and saw a gestational sac and yolk sac, but no fetal pole.  My RE said it was what she expected, so as far as no fetal pole, it sounds like that's normal for where you are.  For yolk sac, I don't know as much about that part, but 5w2d seems pretty early to me.  Hopefully you'll see what you need to see soon.
