7 weeks pregnant

[Casey_ortiz]

I made an ER visit yesterday because of sharp side abdominal pain. I was given a transvaginal ultrasound. They detected a sac with 3mm yolk sac with no baby. I was told I was 7 weeks-3 days pregnant but haven't been to my first appointment yet because of the wait times for appointments here on base. Has this happened to anyone before? I was told there was a concern of miscarriage because my hcg level is 20,396 but no baby appearing. Could I not be as far along as they predicated? Any info will be appreciated!

from what i have read a 3mm yolk sac corresponds with a 5 weeks pregnancy, plus it has to be over 5mm wit no fetal pole to be considered a miscarriage, keep the faith, good luck to you

Hi there.  Oh, I'm so sorry.  I know that is so disappointing.  

In my area/city, most ob/gyn's don't see you until you are 8 weeks along as normal practice.  The theory is that sadly, about a fouth of early pregnancies or 1 out of 4 end in miscarriage.  And empty sac does happy I'm sorry to say.  The problem is the HCG level and empty sac I believe.  They'd expect to see something growing in the ultrasound you had.  

Never say never, but most likely you are miscarrying.  I'm so sorry.  However, they can easily check that because your HCG numbers will drop.  Are they dropping?  If they don't drop, then that is a good sign.

what is your follow up step?
