help! sac at 4 wks??

hey girls... i had my first appt. to confirm my BFP the other day, the dr said i was about 4wks. 3 days. THey did bloodwork and a sono. Nothing came up on the sono, no gestational sac. the tech said it was prob too early then when I talked to the doctor she started warning me of ectopic pregnancies and now I am freaking out.

They took bloodwork wed. and today and I will get the results monday

but now I cant stop worrying something is wrong, especially since the only symptom I have really is sore bbs and cramps. Anyone else go through this? Should you see a sac at 4 weeks? I am so sad

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

I went through this with both of my pregnancies.

I went in, it was just too early - NOTHING in there.

I was prepared for ectopic, spoke all about it TWICE. It's so terrible to have to wait it out, but both times the next time I went in I saw sacs, and the first pregnancy there were TWO!

So now I have healthy twins and a 6 month old.

Hoping the same for you, FM me if you want!

i had an ectopic my earliest sono was about 5w 1d and there was nothing... went back 5 days later and still nothing...

4 weeks is extremely early, im shocked they did a sono at all

I'm so sorry to hear that

thanks for your response. I know, I was just expecting bloodwork, definitely not a sono! I was 16DPO, since I ovulated late this cycle.

Just going to wait it out... thank you for your support

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

i cant stand doctors that even do sonos that early. more times than not there is NOTHING to see... i had a sono at about 4w5d for OHSS cause I did iVF, and my RE wouldnt even show me the screen. he said at that point there is nothing to see. i dont know why they would even put the idea of ectopic in your head, and also dont understand why you wouldnt get your beta bw#s back before next week!! since they did do the bloodwork youd think they would just write stat on it so you could get the info today!!

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

4 wks is incredibly early -- sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not. At 4 wks they saw an empty black sac on my sono (pic in profile) - but I know it's not always the case.

Easy to say, but try not to freak out too much, it likely was just way too early to see anything.

Lots of luck and sticky dust:

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

4 weeks is soooooo early. I don't even understand why a doctor would do a sonogram that early.
I was with an RE and they wouldn't do one until 5.5 weeks, at that point all that could be seen was an empty sac.

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

Crashing:

My OB won't even see anyone until about 6 or 7 weeks.
Im sure you're just really early.

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

I had a sono at 4 weeks and there was nothing there. 4 weeks later I had another sono and there was a baby!

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

I was 5 weeks and they didn't see a sac. A week later there was a HB

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

At my 4 week they saw one sac but my 6 week there were two and they have the same edd so he said I must have been lucky to even see the one. 4 weeks is really really early.

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

4 weeks is SO early....my first appointment was at 6 1/2 weeks, and THAT'S when they saw something...and it was still so small.

Good luck!

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

at 4 weeks you can see a sac but its much more common not to see one, usually at 5 weeks they see the sac. At my 5w3d appt. we saw the sac and a week later the HB.

Good Luck and think positive, it's still very very early.

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

just want to add on to the stay postives.. that is super early . same as many my doc says wait until 6-7 weeks to see/hear anything

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

4 weeks is too early. I went at 4 or 5 weeks too and they did blood work and a sono....saw nothing. I went back a week later and there were 2 sacks. I went from thinking there was nothing to having twins. You just never know. Good luck!!! The blood work is more important than the sono at 4 weeks. I hope you hear good news soon.

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

Same thing happened to me, didn't see anything at 4 weeks, warned me about ectopic, went back a week later and everything was perfect.

Don't worry!

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

same thing happened to me! I have to go back again this sunday to do another sono and make sure they can see something. My OB said 4 weeks was way to early but they did freak me out with all the ectopic explanations. I'm sure everything will be fine when you go back in a few weeks.

Re: help! sac at 4 wks??

I knew I was pregnant and went early on to confirm. They saw something forming but couldn't confirm 100%. Then I went two weeks later and saw a hb. GL
