Why would an ultrasound last week show an embryo and heartbeat and this week show a empty sac and no heartbeat?

There might be a problem with the pregnancy. Generally I would say the pregnancy is not viable if there was one there last week and now its gone. I had the same issue but waited a week to do another ultrasound and there was a baby with a heartbeat. I have no idea how common this is, but I call my little 20 month old my little angel!

Is an empty gestational sac common at 5 weeks?
I thought they couldn't see any thing until 6 weeks. You might want to wait before you start stressing. At 5 weeks an ultrasound tech. can see a thickening in the uterine lining but a heartbeat cannot be detected because the embryo is not developed enough. It might appear empty to you because there is nothing there but a spec the size of maybe the point on a pen, if that big!So I would not worry.
I have an ultrasound scheduled on the 30th of this month if I am pregnant would they be able to see anything on the ultrasound even though it is only two weeks after ovulation?
If you were pregnant the developing embryo would be about the size of the head of a pin. The embryo is not the first sign of pregnancy found on ultrasound; the yolk sac shows up long before the embryo is visible. The yolk sac can't be seen uon ultrasound until at least four weeks after the last period.
Can a baby be seen on ultrasound at 11 weeks without a heartbeat and be all right?
If the heartbeat is not visible at 11 weeks on an ultrasound, that would be cause for concern. The fetal heart begins beating approx. 22 days after implantation into the uterine lining. An ultrasound done at 6 weeks will confirm a viable pregnancy and you would be able to see the heart beating.
Ultrasound at five weeks show feeble heart beat?
It would be crazy to see any heartbeat at five weeks.
Can you feel your babys heartbeat?
No. You can neither hear (unless at a ultrasound) or feel it.
You are 5 weeks 6 days and you had an ultrasound for the heartbeat which was 100 The Doc wants you to come back in 1 week for another ultrasound to measure the heartbeat again Should you be worried?
No 6 weeks is very early for a scan which is most likely why he would like to see you again in a weeks time.
What are some things that ultrasound therapy would be used for?
Ultrasound therapy is commonly used to check the heartbeat of a baby inside of a pregnant woman. It can also be used for finding tumors or other strange murmurs.
Can a ultrasound show if you are two weeks pregnant?
It is not likely, the most you would see is the gestational sack. The heartbeat cannot even be detected until week 5.
What does it mean when you were sent for a scan and the sac was empty at 5 weeks?
That it's probably too early. I would recommend a followup ultrasound at 7 weeks.
Should ultrasound show embryo at 6 weeks?
My doc recommends at least 6 weeks and 3 days and even so it's early...Would try at 7-8 weeks
Can you hear babys heart beat at 7 weeks?
Yes, I went in for an ultrasound on 09/24/09 and they told me I was 6 weeks and 4 days along. the baby's heart rate was 138bpm and I could hear it with the abdominal ultrasound and the transvaginal. However, every pregnancy is different. Godd luck!
How soon can you you hear your baby heart beat?
I saw my baby's heart beat via ultrasound at 14 weeks and 3 days
