Q: Doctors still can't tell me how far along I am.

I found out two weeks ago I was pregnant when I went for my yearly. I have had three ultrasounds. First was the day I found out I was pregnant and there was nothing on ultrasound. Then I had another a week ago and there was a visible sak but no yolk. Then I had another ultrasound today and still a sak but doctor wasn't even sure she seen a yolk. She keeps telling me I'm to early. I have had weird periods all my life. Never on time. Last period I believe was in October. So we can't even go by my last period. Now my question is, at what week does a sak usually appear and how long after until you see yolk. I'm not cramping and only spot after the ultrasounds. I do have all pregnancy symptoms. And I peed on a digital test 2 weeks ago and it said 2-3 weeks on it. Is it probably to early to see a yolk? Doctor keeps saying maybe I'm just barely pregnant and to not get upset yet. But I didn't like her at all. I'm just worried something bad will happen. I have two child already.

Oh and when I wipe it's not every time I see blood. Mainly if I been up moving around really. Now I read about this subchroninic bleed. I wonder if that's what I have. All I know is I'm in no pain.

Hey y'all. I wound up in er again for some clots and found out I'm 6 weeks 1 day today. There was a yolk sac but no heartbeat yet. My cervix is closed but I have some spotting and a few clots. No pain at all. My hcg level for 5 weeks 6 days was in the 5,000 range. But in my ultrasound they said they seem a small bleed where placenta should eventually be. Said its a threatened miscarriage. But I'm not even needing a pad. I don't bleed on my panties. Only some when I wipe. I have a pic but don't wanna gross no one out. This little clot was smaller than a pencil eraser and it was just one. They told me not to stand for to long and I sex. I see my doc Wednesday. A new doctor. Now. 5 weeks 6 days should I have seen a heartbeat for sure?

If you saw the sac on the ultrasound a week ago, you should be able to see the yolk sac now. Hopefully you are just early and will see the baby on the next ultrasound. It could also be a blighted ovum, where the sac develops and your body produces HCG, but there is no baby. Hoping for good news for you.

Yeah I really hate early ultrasounds. They only reason they did mine was to make sure it wasn't an ectopic pregnancy.

Yeah. They drew blood once two weeks ago. Haven't done it again to check. I don't understand. So I have a appt next Wednesday with a different doctor. Hopefully she can give me answers because this last doctor wasn't even confident while using the US machine. They shouldn't of done a ultrasound so soon it just brought me stress and worry ????

Yep I've got an almost 2 year old who measured the same when I went in with her for extremely bad cramping and I'm 29 weeks pregnant and baby when measured a month ago was estimated at the 65th% for growth.

I'm surprised that they haven't taken blood from you to check your HCG levels. Usually after 2,000 they should be able to see if it is a viable pregnancy on the US.

Thanks y'all. That gives me some hope to hear you were 5 weeks 6 days with only sac. Did the pregnancy go well?

I'd guess you're <7 weeks pg right now. Most dr's who do early routine scans to determine gestation won't schedule it prior to 8 weeks because that's typically the soonest you'll be able to see a definitive baby and heartbeat. You could always do bloodwork to see if your hcg levels are rising in the meantime.

It honestly is too early to tell. It sounds like you about 5-6 weeks. I had an early ultrasound at 5 weeks 6 days and all they saw was the sac. It sounds normal do try not to stress.
