    Question First ultrasound, couldn't see much

    Hi all, so im 6.5 weeks pregnant now with number 2... I had a quick ultrasound this morning at the doctors office using his old machine, he saw a sack (measuring 6.5 weeks) but couldn't really make out anything else he said there might be something else there but it is too early to see.

    I am stressing big time, I thought we would be able to see a heart beat.

    Has anyone else had similar experiences??

    TIA

    for my first scan at 6 weeks they couldn't see much so i went back a week later and saw heartbeat arm and leg buds. one week can make a huge difference. dont stress im sure everythings ok.

    I hope everything was fine - I just wanted to say that this pregnancy I had a scan around 6 weeks and showed sack and baby but too small too measure but when I went back at 9 week everything was AWESOME!!! So it can be fine - your dates might have been out slightly too. Mine are about 5 days out.

    hi everyone! Thanks for your care! Everything was.. Fine! Baby's heart beat was 135 bpm, in the right position and measuring just over 7 weeks. The only small thing is i have a large cyst in my ovary but the said its nothing to worry about. Thanks again for your advice and concern.

    That's great news. I'm glad everything was okay. It can be scary when you have a very early scan and can't see much.
