Positive Pregnancy results but nothing on ultrasound

[Berdy]

I should be about 7 weeks pregnant.  I took two HPT, both positive, had a Quant blood test indicating 4-5 weeks pregnancy.   They suspected an ectopic pregnancy and that accounted for my last two ultrasounds.  My question is - is it possible to have a false positive?  The nurse said I was an anomaly, that she'd heard of false positves but never knew it to be true.  I'm not menstruating, my urine and blood say I'm pregnant, but they can see nothing on ultrasound.  What could be happening?

no...they would still be able to see stuff. like the two sacs. i had an ultrasound done at 5weeks 5 days and there was everthing and a tiny dot....my son

I went in yesterday with pain - I was told it was probably an ovarian cyst.  Anyway, I went in to see the doctor.  He said it was a cyst by feeling on my stomach.  Then he had me give him a urine sample.  That came back positive for pregnancy.  Then he sent me in for an ultrasound.  The lady could see a cyst on my left side, but saw nothing in my uterus.  She said it could be too early to tell.  
I don't know how they can tell that I am pregnant since I just had my period on February 22nd.  
Someone said that cysts can give a positive on a pregnancy test.  Is this a proven thing?  Has anyone encountered this problem?

SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME!!  Hcg said I should have been 5-6 weeks, but transvaginal u/s showed nothing ANYWHERE, so they labeled me ectopic!!  A week later a repeat u/s and they saw sac and yolk, but no fetal pole so STILL couldn't say it was a viable pregnancy....FINALLY 2 weeks later They saw "baby" growing in there and saw and heard heartbeat...140bpm, and I was then by ultrasound 7 weeks 4 days pregnant.  Sooooo, what had happened was I was NOT as far along as the hcg levels showed I should have been....instead of 5-6 weeks I was only really 3 weeks and it was just TOO early to SEE ANYTHING anywhere to begin with.  I am now 10 weeks 5 days along, and first all seems perfect!  HANG IN THERE, time is torture!!!  But, that's all you can do at this point, wait!  Best to you...HUGS!

ALL OF YOUR REPLIES HAVE REALLY CALMED ME AND I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE.

TODAY IS 10/30/09, AND AFTER TAKING 2 EPT'S AT HOME AND 1 AT THE DOC'S OFFICE, THEY WERE ALL +. AND WHEN I HAD THE ULTRASOUND THEY SAW NOTHING NOWHERE. SHE SAID EVERYTHING INSIDE WAS NORMAL, SO MENTALLY I FREAKED, I WANTED TO CRY , BE MAD, OR ANGRY. BUT WITH THANKS TO THE NURSES WHO DREW MY BLOOD, THEY CALMED ME DOWN WITH ALOT OF HOPE. BUT I WAS FRIGHTENED BY THE THOUGHT OF AN ETOPIC, I HAVEN'T HAD ANY CRAMPING IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, I'VE HAD SOME DISCOMFORT OR REAL BLOATED FEELING. AND ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF PREGNANCY, I THANK GOD! BECAUSE NOW I CAN HAVE PEACE OF MIND AND FAITH THAT MY BABY IS INFACT THERE, JUST HIDING, LOL. SO THANK'S TO EVERY1, AND GOOD LUCK AND CONGRADULATIONS TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION.

Hi ,

I had spotting yesterday .so i went to doctor she did a vaginal ultrasound and nothing found in uterus.

she said the baby is not growing so she is recommending to do D&C.

As per my last period i should be 8 weeks 3 days by today.

I am not sure what i have to do ?either i have to wait for 1 or 2 weeks to do another ultrasound or go for D&C.

please share if any body has same symptons

"some cysts can give postive pregnancy tests" No cysts CANNOT give positive tests!! Don't listen to this person. The ONLY ONLY reason you would get a positive test is the presence of HCG which is only produced by pregnancy. Whether you had a miscarriage, ectopic or its just to soon to tell, that is the only way to have a positive test. I am in the same boat. I have had 8 positive preg tests, HCG lvls are high but nothing showed up vaginally or otherwise on my ultrasound either, NOTHING. So i am going back friday to have more blood work and im not letting them do ANYTHING to me until i have major pain.
