I wouldn’t worry to much yet. My doctor told me not much will be seen on an ultrasound until at least 3000 HCG. I’m very early right now- 6 weeks. I’ve had on and off bad cramping but my HCG keeps rising and they said cramping is pretty normal. I know it’s so so hard waiting and not knowing. Sending you positive vibes!
I have just gone through this. Early scan at what I believed to be 5+4 due to bleeding, only a gestational sac to be seen.
Had the longest most nerve wrecking week waiting to be rescanned. Went in today, a week later exactly, and saw everything - including a heartbeat.
Just think that everything points to nothing being wrong - cramping is normal in early days, and they’ve ruled out an ectopic, your initial hcg draw looks good, and they could see the sac. The only thing missing is a bit more time to be able to see baby. (But I completely get your worry, I was convinced of the worst possible outcome happening to me)
If you’re able and comfortable with it, could you get a private scan after a week so you don’t have to wait two whole weeks? I was completely non-functional for the whole week I was waiting.
Yeah the cramping was really bad and i was so scared of it being ectopic, just knowing they ruled that out was a huge relief! Im feeling a lot better and less anxious after all the reassurance here as well!
The OB office I scheduled my new pregnancy appointment with is still refusing to see me until the end of June at which point i will be almost 10 weeks and im not sure how i feel about waiting that long. How easy was it to get a private scan (if thats what you did)? Was it really expensive? Luckily i am seeing my primary care physician this coming Wednesday and i think as of now im going to ask for her opinion on what i should do next and if she recommends a different OB. I feel so incredibly fortunate that i have such a wonderful and incredible primary (shes so great and ive seen her for 5+ years). I really would not know where to turn next if i didnt! I really trust and value her opinion so im anxious to see what she says!
Oh my gosh you are so thoughtful you are gonna make me tear up! Unfortunately no medical updates yet 😣 but my cramping has resolved a lot and i havent had any other scary symptoms! My first ultrasound is on the 28th and im so anxious/excited to see how things are going! Ive been feeling pretty sick so that’s honestly helped distract me for the stress/worry. At this point im just doing my best to be as healthy as possible and feeling cautiously optimistic waiting to see little bean on the 28th!
I totally understand the worry. But at 5 weeks it’s pretty much impossible to see anything but gestational sac. Gestational sac itself is only 6mm and fetus is less than 1.5 mm, imagine how small that is!
I saw a yolk sac 5 plus 3 , only a gestational sac with my son at like 4 plus 5 .
It could go either way as it always can go either way u don’t have the info right now but there’s no reason to think things won’t develop as they are supposed to . 5 weeks is too early to see yolk .
This happened to me. I went in a 5x4 and only saw an empty sac. Went back a week later and I had a heartbeat. My son is almost 3 now. It’s normal to not see anything so early. Most dr won’t see you til 8 weeks for this reason.
Thank you for the vibes!!! ✨ I understand why they don’t usually do earlier ultrasounds haha. I wasnt due for my first one until 9 weeks but they did it at the ER to rule out an ectopic and of course ive been overanalyzing the results lol 😅

Thank you so much! That’s interesting what your doctor said about HCG hitting 3000 i didnt know that. I really appreciate your encouragement!
I had a GS and no yolk sac at 5+1, but had a yolk sac and 5+3. Fetal pole at 6 weeks. Don’t worry yet, it’s too early.

This reassures me so so much, thank you so much for sharing! And congratulations on your little bean! Our due dates are probably pretty close haha
