7 weeks pregnancy but only sac is visible

Hi, if counted from my last first menstrual date, then it should be 7th week of pregnancy while I was having my first ultrasound. However, there’s only a gestational sac with size around 1.12cm seen. No embryo yet 🥲 I know that my menstrual cycle is around 33-35 days in average. Anyone has the same experience? Many thanks and hope everyone is enjoying and having a safe pregnancy and parenting journey!

Hi all, Finally I got the answer.. yesterday I had a heavy bleeding with lots of blood clots.. minor cramps also felt as if I am having menstrual cramp.. the bleed continues until today and hasn’t stop.. HCG level dropped and ultrasound showed a shrinked sac.. went to Dr Goh and she said it’s a blighted ovum.. we grieve as a parent to be but it doesnt change the fact that miscarriage is something beyond our control.. Thanks for all the supports and sharings.. this gives me a valuable lesson that pregnancy is tough but worth all the roller coaster of emotions 😊 I am okay and resting well.. hope everyone is expecting have a safe and healthy journey!

Had similar experience... I was informed that there's only 2 possible outcomes..one is miscalculated.. and to wait for 1-2 weeks time to scan again, hopefully something shows.. else.. it could be blighted ovum (a type of very early miscarriage), but it's totally not your fault.. Fingers crossed and hope everything turns out well for u.. this is a very tough waiting period but stay positive..

I went to gynae today since got another bleeding overnight.. US showed the same empty sac and gynae wondered why the development of my pregnancy was so slow.. As to ascertain, I had my blood taken for HCG test and got jabbed progesterone for stabilizing.. I’ll take another blood test next Monday and we’ll see if HCG level is progressing.. if not then it should be a bad sign to the point I should let go of my pregnancy. Thanks for sharing and yeah, finger crossed everything will turn out well.. if not then it’s for the best definetely

I experienced before. i was supposed to be in my 8th or 10th weeks. but doc says i might have miscounted my period days. i said no, as i always marked dates on my calendar each time im on my period. every scan i only see an empty sac. after 1 month of waiting & sac no growing at all, doc says i had missed miscarriage. however, don’t think so much. just wait for the next scan.

I had the same for week 5 and 6, only gestational sac. The fetus appeared during the 7th week, thankfully. It also game me stress while waiting, and I tend worsen it by googling. Don't worry momma, all will be well.

Lmp is not accurate . Happened to me too cs i ovulated late. Supposed to be week 7 bt mine was week 4/5. But at 8 week can see fetus and heartbeat. Now hes a healthy 18 months old
