hi i went for a scan on 23rd july 2012 and i worked my dates out to being 6 weeks 6 days but when the lady checked she said i was 5-6 weeks pregnant but did see the fetus and sack and the heart was beating so i am very confused at the minute i did a clear blue pregnancy test on the 6th july and it came up pregnant 1-2 weeks but when i did a doctors test it came back negative so i did another one on the monday that came back positive so put another test in at the doctors and that came back positive so now im confused how far i am but some scans they cant pick it up in suprised that they didnt tell you to go back in 1-2 weeks hun

And of course you can find tons of information just by completing a simple Internet search using any of the major search engines.

Good luck to everyone! I am in the same boat as you - 4w4d by ultrasound but I thought I was 8 based on last m cycle only seeing g-sac no fetus/heartbeat and my Dr is making me wait two weeks before even allowing me blood tests for hCG levels bc she doesn't want to worry me if this will just end in miscarriage (most pregnancies do at the stage I am at).

Doing some research and praying has relieved some of my worry and I'm at the point of "whatever happens just happens" - and I hope it will do the same for you.

I hope this helps all of you with your questions.

There are a few different reasons you may be experiencing these results.

1. It is too early to tell, plain and simple. Ever wonder why some Dr's won't schedule US until 8 weeks - this is why. Until you are truly 6-8 weeks (not by your calculation but by g-sac/fetus size) will you be able to see anything definitive such as heartbeat or fetal poles. Even then everyone is different and that includes you and your baby so maybe it might be 10 weeks for you and as early as 5 weeks for others.

You may have also heard the "best not to tell anyone until you are past 12 weeks"... this is because the chance of miscarrying is much higher until you get into your 2nd trimester. so be smart, relax, listen to your dr and your body and don't tell everyone you know until your past 12 weeks.

5. Information on hCG levels
"Caution must be used in making too much of hCG numbers. A normal pregnancy may have low hCG levels and result in a perfectly healthy baby."

I hope this helps all of you in determining what you are experiencing. Please remember that the best approach to knowing what is happening with your body is to do research, listen to what your body is telling you, and relax/pray/meditate/whatever works for you best and gives you comfort when you are worried.

Thank you for your post i am 5 wks 3 days today and had a ultrasound trans vaginal due to very light spotting and all we saw was a gestational sac and yolk sac. I am very nervous I had 3 miscarriages two years ago before having my son.

I m really really stressed can someone  help me out of this stress.
