I went to the ER on Saturday (I should have been 5 weeks exactly) with cramping and a HR 130. I have never had any bleeding. The ER docs thought my baby was in a tube. So they did a U/S and said that all was good and that the baby was actually 5 weeks and 4 days. When I went to my scheduled U/S on the following Wednesday, the Radiologist thought that the baby was supposed to measure 6 weeks 1 day... she said that there was no heartbeat and that the u/s had not changed that much from Saturday... she called it a failed pregnancy. I went immediately to my fertility doctor, who calculated from my date of ovulation (I had artificial insemination, so I know when i ovulated)... he said that I was 5 weeks and 4 days on WEDNESDAY... but he said you should see a embryo by 5 weeks and 4 days... he said I have a 66% of miscarriage. I have to go back in a week for another u/s... Has anyone else gone through this? Does an u/s really change that much in 4 days?
Its not very common, but it does happen. normally the embryo is visible from 51/2 week onwards. However if you have conceived late in the cycle or if you are not sure about your dates , it could happen that it could be too early for you to see the embryo at 6 weeks.
At 5 weeks pregnant, the baby is only a cluster of cells, and it is very common for women to not see anything at 5 weeks because the baby is only about the size of a grain of rice. If you did see anything, it would be very small.
You can usually see the gestational sac at 5 and a half weeks.
Generally you will be able to see a heartbeat, in some cases you will be able to see the embryos, but not very clearly.
My best advice is go to your doctor who can give you an internal scan to see if there is any of the embryo remaining in your womb.

when you go for your 12 week scan you will definitely be able to see a (very tiny) roughly baby shaped baby on the scan congratulations!
It depends when you have your scan. email me with your dates (see my bio page)and I will explain
Hello, i Had the same thing kind of... at 6week scan no heart beat only a sac, things wear not looking good..... i had a light spotting for a few days no cramps ect and DID NOT pass anything!!! 7week scan bad news everything had gone... miscarriage... (but were i was relay upset) this was all 4weeks ago and i have started with sickness again and i have had a positive PTest so am going to the docs this week.... it looks like i was to early to see on the scan... fingers crossed it may well be the same pregnancy!!!! i am sure you may be a little bit early that 6weeks as at 7weeks it is more likely to see the heart beat..... FINGERS CROSSED YOU WILL BE FINE AND YOU ARE JUST A LITTLE EARLY XX
This happens around the 5th week of pregnancy. But will not be able to see this on a scan until your 16 weeks
I had a ultrasound scan at 7 weeks 3 days, and the pregnancy sac was visible, but my doctor could not find the fetal pole or heartbeat. He said there can be a significant amount of dvelopment from week 7 to 8, and I sm scheduled for another scan in a week's time. He said this wasn't necessarily bad news so I'll just have to wait.
could it be ectopic, though the scan should have picked up abnormalities. See your doctor.
why couldnt they see my ovarias in scan
Hello. I can understand how worrying this must be for you when the doctor doesn't see the foetus on a 5 week scan. But please dont be worried as this is perfectly normal. A fetus usually shows up on a ultrasound when your in your 6th week of pregnancy and sometimes the foetus doesn't become clear till your in your 7th week of pregnancy. I hope this has helped you some. Congratulations on your pregnancy.
If you went for a scan and they couldn't see anything, you might not be pregnant.
They both scan something.They both scan the inside f something that we usually can not see.
