Mine looked exactly like this at 5 weeks & we actually couldn’t see my other baby at this point. They thought Baby B was a cyst because of how small the sac was. We couldn’t see both sacs & both babies til about 6 weeks & 3 days

Yes! They offered me a D&C at my appointment when I couldn’t see anything at 5 weeks saying it was gonna be an abnormal pregnancy. I told them I wanted to wait a week & give the baby time to grow & the next time I went back we saw both healthy babies w heartbeats 💕 they were blown away lol
I had a scan at 6 weeks and only had a yolk sac no sign of baby so this is normal hun x

I think its pretty normal specially if you've only just turned 5 weeks, I'm sure you will see it both in 2 weeks hun 💕
I wish I could see a yolk sac. I’m hoping in two weeks to see both baby and yolk sac. Thank you girl 💖
Becca Don’t worry. My sister was exactly the same position as you. She thought she was further along but she was only about five weeks and her ultrasound looked exactly the same. She was very scared and discouraged as was thinking she might have lost it and two weeks later they were able to see the little heartbeat. She’s completely fine she and so is baby. They are about 16 weeks along now 
Is it possible that because the ultrasound was transvaginal and because the baby is so so so tiny that the angle meant you can’t see much! Please don’t worry though, I imagine (I haven’t researched this) but if there is a sac and you haven’t had significant bleeding then there would be a baby in there somewhere but you just can’t see it? Just a thought

Im hoping that’s the case. And I haven’t had any bleeding at all. A little bit of cramping here and there but no bleeding.
Yeahh small cramps are definitely normal!
This happened to me. Based on LMP I should have been 8 weeks. But the gestational sac measured 5 weeks, which I knew was accurate based on tracking ovulation (I have irregular cycles). So there was no reason for concern. But 3 weeks later I went back and I only measured 7 weeks. There was only a gestational sac and a yolk sac (no fetal pole). I went back a week later to confirm and nothing had changed. Baby never developed and there was no heartbeat. My body wasn’t recognizing the missed miscarriage so I had to have a D&C. It was a really stressful and confusing time in my life. I was heartbroken but had mentally prepared myself for a bad outcome the moment I got a positive pregnancy test. Your outcome could be completely different though. Thinking of you and hoping for the best!

Fingers crossed everything goes perfectly! Keep us posted.
😰 oh man that’s super scary. I hope that doesn’t happen to us. We’ve been trying for a year and 4 months 😭 this would break our hearts
I went in at 5 weeks, much like you, thought I was at least 7... it looked pretty empty but had a yolk sac so I came back at 7 and was able to see a heartbeat! Very nerve wrecking 2 weeks as I suffered a miscarriage previous to the pregnancy.
Hi I had a scan at 4-5 weeks and only saw and sac and yolk and told me to come back in 9-10 days time to see and in 9 days I saw a heart beat

I was like 6 weeks and a few day and based of the sack I was only mesuring like 4 weeks. They went back a few weeks later and found out I was actual spot on for 8 weeks. It’s hard to guess off the sack

Did your sac show empty at 6 weeks?
Do not worry. Just book another ultrasound in a few weeks 😊

I have another one in two weeks
That is good, by then you will be able to see something
Could you request some bloodwork to test your HCG in the meantime? Get some done now, and wait 48 hours to test again. Just to make sure it is rising? It still may be too early to see anything! Chin up!

I’m going to call today and ask. I was thinking about that yesterday too. Thank you💕
Sending you lots of love! Keep us posted. Will be thinking of you.
Happened to me girly they told me I was probably going to miscarry so I decided to just let my body do it’s thing tried not to stress 1 month later I had bad cramps so I went to the E.R to confirm miscarry and I got the opposite news baby was well
3 replies
Idk if it’s stress or my uterus stretching but ever since I got the ultrasound done I’ve been cramping. All last night as well too.
Well there’s implantation cramps as well girly I’ll be praying for you
This has happened to myself and one of my best friends! And guess what? We both just delivered two healthy baby boys!! We now laugh about it and say “remember when we were crying cause we couldn’t see the yolk sac??” We just both ovulated later than our LMP. It happens :) I’m sure everything will be totally fine and I remember freaking out too, and I look back at that ultrasound with just the tiniest little dot and now I hold my son and think wow! You use to be a dot...now you have legs, arms and my face! Amazing

Y’all are giving me hope 😩💖 Thank you so much for that!
I just went in last week for my first ultrasound thinking I was 6 weeks + 3 & they could only see the sac. I’m in the middle of the waiting game for my next ultrasound on the 2nd. I’m a nervous wreck & wish I could just see this little baby on the screen 😭

I feel you. I’m so scared. Every time I use the bathroom to pee, I check the toilet paper for blood like a crazy person 😩 it’s exhausting to be so anxious and scared.
Ugh I’ve been doing that too. You’re absolutely not alone! Hoping we truly have good news coming our way very soon!
Everything is so scary at this point, sending good prayers your way

Get another one done mine showed like this with my second child at 5 weeks made another appointment at 6 weeks I was able to see it and a lil heart beat

I am. I have it in two weeks.
I don’t have a picture but I had an ultrasound when I thought I was 6 weeks based in LMP but I was told I was 5 weeks when I was there. There was no baby just the sac similar to yours, I’m now 20 weeks and baby is doing fine so far 🤞 it’s really horrible but all you can do is wait and go back in a couple of weeks and hope things have progressed. Just try to stay as sane as you can in the wait! Wishing you lots of luck and positivity x x x

I appreciate that 🥺 thank you so much
Omg you were pregnant with twins and still they couldn’t see nothing at 5 weeks!?! I hope they are both healthy happy bundle of joys 💖💖 I’m so sad that I couldn’t see a baby. I’m glad there’s a sac but I was looking forward to seeing a little peanut in there 😩😭 I’m hoping this is the same for me and in two weeks I’ll be able to see something.
