Hi, I am Jess and this unfortunately is my first post. I am currently 6 weeks pg today (well hopefully).
Over the past week I have been kinda given the run around. I done a pg test just over a week ago and Sunday last week I had some bleeding after a couple of days of cramping, I ended up going to my local hospital and after staying in the emergency ward for 6 hours finally got seen to. A few more hours later I got to see a Dr in the early pregnancy clinic and he fone an internal ulstrasound and couldn't see anything. He straight away assumed that it was ectopic and sent me off to have the methotrexate. I was not having that and asked for a second opinion. Later that night I got another ulstrasound and there it was, the sac right where it was meant to be, a bilnd man could've seen it.
Since then I have had numerous blood tests and my hCG levels are rising. I went back on Friday to my clnic appt only to see this same Dr that said it was ectopic. He was extremely apologetic, but this time he told me he couldn't see anything int he sac and that it should be absolutely visible by 5 weeks, on Friday I was 5 weeks and 5 days. He also went and cancelled my other ultrasound appts on me that were with anyone else because he told me he wanted to be the only one to do them.
I had antoerh appt there today and made sure I didnt have that same Dr. I got 2 other lovely Drs and I told them my situation they were not impressed. They done the scan and said I MAY have a blighted Ovum but until Monday next week there will be nothing to worry about and that even up to week 10 it is hard to tell.
Now after a very long story I am just curious as to whetehr anyone else has experience problems with the sac looking empty? I have never had such early ultrasounds with my previous 2 children so I don't know when it is normal for the fetus to be seen.
Sorry about the long post.
