 Topic: 6 week scan - no fetal pole
Posted: 12 March 2008 at 11:16am |
|
I just had my 6 week scan and it showed a gestational sac of 6 weeks, a yolk sac but not fetal pole or heartbeat.
My hcg was 499 about 2 weeks ago so I'm really freaking out. They say it is probably just fine but I have to have hcgs done and another scan in 7 days.
So scary! With the miscarriage there was no yolk sac but I was so sure there would be a fetal pole now :(

You are measuring 6 weeks so hopefully that is a good sign. Will they do 2 hcgs before the next scan?

Yes, they said they'd recommend hcgs every 2 days so I'll wait for my GP to phone. The sonographer said they see this all the time and most of the time it is ok (sometimes not).
I just wish it could've been nice and clear as now I know I will stress :(

Seeing a yolk sac is a good thing, though - try to focus on that. I hope it doesn't take long for them to get a conclusive result for you and that it's a good one.

You poor thing. You don't need that. It is really encouraging that they often see that and things are usually fine. Try and focus on the positives - easier said than done!

Like I said in my text, sounds perfect to me! Early scans can vary hugely within a matter of days or even hours. I had a scan at 5w5d with the gremlins and saw only the yolk sac, even with an internal. Had a scan at the exact same gest with this bub and saw only yolk sac on external scan and fetal pole + heartbeat on interal scan. It also depends a lot on the equipment they have and how up to date it is.
Bear in mind that at 6 weeks baby is around 1-2mm, the size of a sesame seed, so it's perfectly normal not to be able to see much. They grow 1mm per day at that stage tho so in a weeks time you should def have a good strong heartbeat.
Hang in there, I know the waiting is the toughest. I'm up for coffee any time if you want a distraction.

My first scan with Ella at approx 6 weeks 6 days was exactly the same.
I didn't know enough to be worried by that, and the sonographer didn't seem concerned by it at all, just told me they'd see me in another 6 weeks for the 12 week scan!
All the best Fiona, I know its impossible not to worry but try not to lose hope okay?

Ive read about this, and most times everything is all good, if you had another scan in say a weeks time there will be something there. The fact that the sac is measuring bang on and you have no bleeding etc is a very good sign 
Try not to worry too much **hugs**

I think that is pretty normal, but still stressful to you all the same.
I hated the waiting, and not knowing.
At my 9 week scan (they put me back to 7 weeks though) they were able to see everything, but that is one more week than you are now.
Hopefully everything will be fine
