Sac still empty :(
I went for my follow up apt today, and the gestational sac is bigger, it's round, which are both good things, but still nothing in it. It might just be too soon, but both my doctor and I would feel a lot better if we saw something inside. They didn't do any more labs today. My gestational sac is just under 9mm. He said by 10 you should be able to see something, so by next week we should know. Right now my apt is on Tuesday. I'm tempted to push it back to have a better chance of seeing something. I know most people don't even have an US until 8 weeks. With DS (i started out with a differnt OB) the first was 7.3 and we saw him and the heartbeat. Tuesday I'll be 7.2. My MIL is coming to town tomorrow. We were planning on telling her (we haven't told anyone yet) but now I'm a bit hesitant. I wish I just knew, either way.
First pregnancy, no problems, beautiful DS 11/2010
BFP 5/12, 2 US with empty sac, one at 7.2 with fetal pole, empty sac at 8.2, D&C 6/12
BFP 8/24, it's a boy!

Re: Sac still empty :(
Thanks ladies. I also have almost no symptoms, which at first I was super happy about (I had terrible ms with DS) but I wouldn't mind a little (and just a little) reassurance.
My other concern is that if I go back tues, there is still nothing in the sac and the sac is growing. I'm worried by OB would call it a blighted ovum, but maybe it's still just too early, only 7 weeks. I would probably just ask if I could come back again in another week or two to confirm before I had a D&C. I'm probably getting way ahead of myself but can't help but think about these things...

I can't imagine that stress you must be feeling. FX that this next appt. is positive!!

First of all, I'm sorry you are stuck in this limbo - it absolutely sucks. And I will keep my fingers crossed for better news at your next ultrasound.
However, should you get a bad outcome with your next ultrasound, there is NO rush whatsoever for a D&C. My doctors have always given me 2 options for ways to confirm my losses, either by a follow up ultrasound a week later or by bloodwork. Both times I have chosen bloodwork because I didn't want to wait another week in limbo land hell and because at that point, seeing the lifeless ultrasounds was becoming traumatic for me. But definitely don't feel like you have to do a D&C right away, under any circumstance.
T&P for you!
I am sorry you are going through this. Being in limbo is awful, and I have been in your situation before. Please take care of yourself and keep us updated.
And, on a side note, try not to start googleing your situation and the what if's. It will not help, and it will only make you feel worse (trust me!).
