Worried sac and no embryo

Hi,  I'm suppovosely 6weeks 6days pregnant.   Started having a small amount of spotting at work on Sunday. And still into Monday.  Went to the DR.   They did vaginal ultrasound and stomach one.  And oh my goodness found three sacks!! They all have been found to be empty they said. :(.  So they did blood test that day and tested today (Wednesday) and called and said the number went down just a smidgen  and they expected it to go up!  So she said just do blood test again Friday and talk about it then    I'm soooo worried !!  And then another U/a scheduled for the 22nd. Next week today.  Please tell me the is hope.  If not tell me that to but everything is so vague.      Nicki

No one addressed that ur levels went down so I will they decrease when ur threatening n miscarriage or have tissue that was the case w me. I had the + pregnancy tests, then I had to get my levels checked ever 2 or 3 days til they finally said u miscarried n have tissue left over n I had to get a DNC. Unfortunately....I PRAY THATS NOT THE CASE. Good luck

Im 9 weeks 3 days and I had an ultrasound that at 8 weeks. I was able to see my baby and she also picked up another sac. She said my pregnancy started off as twins but one of the babies didn't develop. She said the sac would shrink/deflate and it should just pass as blood when I give birth.

I had a scan at 6 weeks 6 days and they could only see an empty sac..afterwards they did a vaginal ultrasound and then we could see some dots and one flashing dot was the heartbeat (very unclear)..I was told at this stage they would have been able to see but it really was only sn enpty sac..hope ures is the same!

Also you could be earlier than you think. For me they went off my last period and scheduled me for what they thought was 8 weeks. but when they measured the babies they were the 6 weeks 6 days. I ovulate later than the normal ovulation window. So you could be more like 4 or 5 weeks even! Which expalins why they couldn't see them

The did a vaginal.ultrasound on me and found my twins 6 weeks 7 days and both heartbeats. They were very, very tiny, but my place has a really high tech machine so I think it depends on how old their machine is to be able to find the teeny tiny babies. In a couple more weeks they should really be able to tell for sure.
