Has this happened with you?

Hi Ladies,

I went for my first u/s yesterday and thought I was 8 weeks 5 days. The tech. had to do a trans-vaginal u/s because she discovered my uterus was tilted. All she found was a gestational sac that measured about 5 weeks 3 days. I spoke with the doctor on the phone and given my abnormal periods and abnormal ovulation days, it is possible that we are off on our conception date. I was just wondering if anyone here had gone thought the same thing and seen a baby on a u/s a week later. I have another appointment next Friday and am hoping things are looking alright. My body still feels pretty normal. My breasts are some what tender and I have still not had any morning sickness (which some women don't). Anyone with a similar situation?

I haven't had a situation like yours, but I just wanted to post to say that I am crossing my fingers for a better ultrasound next time. I hope your dates are just way off and that that is it. 

You are in my thoughts. Please update this thread!

I have seen people post about similar experiences. Even I have a 28 day cycle and went in at 6 weeks and couldn't really see anything I had ovulated around day 17 or 18. Fingers crossed for you! Please keep us updated.

Yes, this happens quite often to women with irregular cycles. It happened to me in my last pregnancy. Thankfully I didn't schedule a D and C like my doctor suggested. I can't imagine life without my little boy!

Thank you ladies. My doctor and I are both cautiously hopeful. For now I am going to continue with my prenatal vitamins and eating the most healthy I have in my life. We have talked about what to do next week if we still don't see a baby, but I am making sure my hormone levels are not going up before we make any rash choices.

I would think that your conception date is probably off if you have been having irregular periods.  I had an early ultrasound around the 5-6 week mark, and they had to to a trans-vaginal for me too, in order to get a clear look because it was so early.  I wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure when you go back for your next u/s you will see progress.  Thinking of you, and please share your update!  :0)

When did you find out you were pregnant?  How long ago did you test?

I tested at home on December 1st and got a positive result. The doctor confirmed a positive test on the 5th. So, I would have had to have been at least 2 weeks then, and am now more like 6 if my calculations are wrong. But I was thinking I was 8. So, if I ovulated late and have longer lengths in between cycles, I guess it is possible. But, I am not so sure.

Not that this is really useful information, but for perspective, I also got my first positive test on December 1st. I'm currently 7w2d. I got my positive very early, and it was barely there, so it's highly unlikely that you're any less than 7 weeks or so.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. I would like to think positive but my concern at this point is that I have a blighted ovum and I am losing the pregnancy. It wouldn't make much sense to be that early in pregnancy.

A similar thing happened to me during my last pregnancy.  I was measuring 10 days behind.  Apparently dates are off like that all the time, although for me I have shorter rather than longer cycles so I knew that wasn't it.  If you have irregular cycles it sounds as though your dates just could be way off, which would make sense if you ovulated later than day 14.  Good luck!

As promised, I am re-posting to the thread. Went to the doctors today and only measure 6 weeks. Blighted ovum. HCG levels are falling and I am losing the pregnancy. D&C on Monday. Hope you all have  healthy and happy pregnancies.
