1st Trimester

Embryo not seen on second u/s

Last Thursday I had an ultrasound that showed a 5wk6day embryo measuring 0.27cm. I go back today, one week later, and no embryo is seen but sack is measuring at 6 weeks but empty. I go back next week to hopefully see something. I have had no bleeding. No signs of miscarriage. Anyone else go through this? Within one week it was gone.

  • Unfortunately missed miscarriages are not uncommon. The embryo stops developing, but the mothers body doesn't recognize the change and does not initiate a miscarriage. I'm sorry you're going through this.

  • As pp said it's very common, for the body not to realise. I had a mmc and had morning sickness all the way up until the 12 weeks scan when we found baby had stopped developing at 8 weeks and the sack was empty.

    I'm sorry you're going through this, best wishes to you.
