After a first scan last week where all I saw was an empty sac and with my Beta's being low, my doc said she was very pessimestic about this pregnancy and I should expect to miscarry.  Well I had my follow up scan today and they saw a yolk sac and what looked like the beginning of fetal poles!  I go back on 11/17 for yet a 3rd scan.  I am now cautiously optimistic.  Both the U/S technican and the U/S doc said so far so good.

I was in near tears on the way to the appt and got nothing but good news!  All the worry and stress for nothing.  

I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Your welcome, try not to worry, im trying not to either. They did a normal scan and only saw the sac so then they did a transvaginal and were able to see more, but they said everything was perfect and i measured exactly. so good luck hun!!

No you will not hear a heartbeat, and you will not see a baby yet. I just had my scan the day before yesterday at exactly 5wks 6days. You will see the sac and yolk and they will tell you if your measuring exactly at where you should be. Don't worry that is normal that early not to see much. I know your nervous i had a missed miscarriage in march and this just makes it hard for me not to worry.
