Early scan issues - Has this happened to you?

[TTC-a-miracle]

With baby number 2 we had an ultrasound at 5 weeks and 4 days and was just an empty sac we had another scan a week later and fetal pole and everything all visible

When I was pg with DS I had an early dating scan as I was unsure of my dates. The sac measured 5 weeks and something days, no fetal pole. I had a scan about a week and a half later which had grown the appropriate size and had a heart beat.

I see that your ticker says you are 8 weeks 2 days, are you certain of your dates?

Not certain of dates, as I was on clomid. Im hoping i was just too early and to re-scan next week. Iv had no bleeding, Some small cramps but not too painful etc and my blood HCG friday was 1812 with progesterone of 25

Shan, waiting for another scan is terrible - the longest wait ever! If you had bloods last Friday, ring your doctor and ask whether you can have some more done today (and get a rush on the results!). If the pregnancy is not viable, you should see a decrease in your HCG, but if it is viable and was just too soon for a fetal pole to be seen your HCG will have risen. It will give you a pretty good indicator of whether the pregnancy will progress.

If you were only measuring 5 weeks, I would be inclined to wait at least a week and a half before another scan - 6 weeks is still very early to see anything.
