6w4d Pregnant. No yolk sac on ultrasound

[junebug25]

OK so i had to go to the hospital yesterday because i had some very mild bleeding. The Dr. did and exam and said that the bleeding had stopped and my cervix was closed. He did an HCG test and it was at 10561 (one week before that it was at 3592). He sent me for an ultrasound to be safe and found the there was a gestational sac that measured what would be normal for 5w4d, there was no yolk sac or embryo.  The Dr. didn't really say much to me other then i should go back in 1 week and have another ultrasound done. I am really worried now that i have a blighted ovum.

A little history: My  LMP was Nov.18th. I got a positive HPT Dec. 5th and had a HCG test done Dec.16th. that came back at only 15. My dr. told me it was so early and to wait 2 weeks and come back again for another HCG. I did and that test (Dec.29th) came back at 3592.  

PLEASE HELP!!! I am so worried!!!

I had an unsucessful pregnancy the first time. So the second time my dr kept a super tight watch on me. I didn't see a heartbeat until around 7 weeks and my growth was fairly small at the beginning. I am now 22 weeks with a healthy (and very beautiful) little girl from that second pregnancy. Hang in there - it takes a while sometimes. Be patient and know that you are experiencing normal things. :)
I hope it all works out well for you hun!

With blighted from the past it either decreased or just disappeared with me but this time in all honesty it did not automatically get stronger which is why I still worried until I found out apart from the frequent urinating it stayed roughly the same.
I understand your fear hun, there is no worse feeling in the world but hopefully it is the same as what I had with this little one and in a few months you will be looking back
Goodluck

I am sooooo happy to hear you had the same thing!! I have a question for you. Did your pregnancy symptoms only get worse after you were told you had a blighted ovum or did they stay the same? My symptoms seem to be just getting a bit worse( i am nauseated today now.) I have read that with a blight ovum your symptoms should start to decrease.

Thank you so much for your help and kind words! You don't understand how much it means to me, I know i try to tell myself it was just really early but it is so hard not to worry, i just wish i never got that ultrasound done now!!
I think the internet is my worse best friend because i read about all these other people that saw "a heartbeat,embryo and yolk sac," so soon and i could not even see anything. I have a feeling that i implanted a week later then i thought because of what my first HCG levels were at.

I would definitely go back in 1 week for the follow up ultrasound.  It is possible that there was an error on the part of the tech, or ur dates are off, or even the chance that at less then 7 weeks everything is SO small & by going back if it's progressing you'll see the difference.

Good luck & keep us updated :-)

I have previously had blighted ovum on three occasions, with this pregnancy I was told at Nine weeks that it again was blighted ovum as I also had mild bleeding and no embryo or yolk sac was seen only the gestational sac. I am not 25 weeks with a beautiful baby boy this is the same pregnancy. I would not worry although I understand your fear as myself experienced it only a few months back. But it can be normal

Sorry there was a typo. I had a positive HPT on Dec 15th not 5th
