Fetus at 5 weeks : ok this is complicated but i had a scan today (it is 8 weeks since lmp and the doctor thinks my sac and fetus should measure at 6 weeks) they said that the sac was empty and that it is a blighted ovum. when i came home i was thinking about it and i think the dates are not right. this is how i worked it out. i last ovulated on feb 22nd(cd18) and assuming that it takes 5 days to implant which would take it to 27th feb then the fetus should be size of 5 weeks tomorrow, so i am asking a) does this

Fetus at 5 weeks : Is it normal after an early pregnancy misscarriage to still have symptoms of being pregnant 5 months after?

Fetus at 5 weeks : yesterday i had brown discharged that turned into spotting that has cleared up.(at this moment). I called my doctor right away and they won't see me till i have heavy bright pink/red blood. They say dark red/brownish blood is nothing to worry about yet.

Nausea that getting increasely bad this past week. To t

Fetus at 5 weeks : I went to an ultra sound on tuesday where i was beleived to have been 7 weeks pregnant. At that rate i should have saw a heartbeat. The ultra sound tech said she saw the baby and the sac. What date does the doctor go by with being able to see the baby. I'm 7 weeks pregnant if i go by my last period. But the fetus should be like 5 weeks. Does that mean that the baby doesn't have a heartbeat.. i saw brown blood today. I have all the pregnancy symptoms still. My nasaus just started kicking in bi

Fetus at 5 weeks : I have a 3.5 tumor on my cervix, I have endometriosis. They have placed me on steriods.

Fetus at 5 weeks : At about 5 weeks i had a slight bleed went to A+E told i was still pregnant had a scan and was told it was too early to see a fetal pole or heartbeat so had to go back yesterday had another scan and was told that there was a fetal pole, the pregnancy had progressed but there was still no heartbeat. I have not had any more bleeding since and have to go back next week but was told to expect the worst i am very scared this is my 4th pregnancy and nothing has happened like this before Any advise

Fetus at 5 weeks : I had a scan done this afternoon. Gestational sac was 27mm. Fetus measured 5mm Could see the heartbeat but he did not tell me rate - he said would do it at next scan in 2 weeks. Does this all sound as it should be for around 6.5 weeks?

Fetus at 5 weeks : doctor told me to wait for 1 week . am i still pregnant

Fetus at 5 weeks : has performed 2 vaginal ultrasounds already (5 weeks and 7 weeks). on both occasions, he has looked for triplets. he will shift the wand around and say things like "oh, hold on... let me make sure there's not a third one in there..." or "wait a minute.. let me see if there is another one..." he has done this 2 times, during each ultrasound. is he seeing something that might indicate a third in there? or just "checking"? i forgot to ask him and i am curious as to whether there are specific intr

Fetus at 5 weeks : okay i'va had some health problems most would call minor....so i went to the gyno....he said i have a cyst it eill go away...pain got real bad so i went to ER they said its a bladder infection (ran a urinalysis) gave me an anti-biotic and said within 4 days symptoms (pain) should be gone today is day 5 i still hurt and now worse than when i went in.......i had a appt with my pcp as instructed from ER he saidit may be caused from a pre-pregnancy when a fetus begins it causes pain such as the on

Fetus at 5 weeks : this is my third question on here regarding my situation. i lost the fetus this morning. i was wondering what the recovery should be like with a missed miscarriage? i think the fact i knew there was no heartbeat on wednesday woke my body up to the fact its gone. i had carried it 4.5 weeks. and the cramping started yesterday, i passed it today. but am still bleeding. how long does the bleeding last? when my menstrual periods be normal again? when can i have sex again? how long does the crampi

Fetus at 5 weeks : The doctor said that the baby is 6 weeks and 3 days old, but I have only known her for 5 weeks. Could the estimate be off by 2 weeks???

Fetus at 5 weeks : this is a follow up from my previous question 'first ob visit goes wrong'. i've done research, and talked to the doctor. and i know its theres only a small chance my fetus is still alive. but i need to know if anybody has had a same or similar experience. 12 week ob visit, ultra sound says 7.5 week old fetus. no heartbeat. i know there should be one, but i've also heard that some cases the transvaginal cant pick it up that early in some people. and i was bad with the pill, so my ovulations and

Fetus at 5 weeks : i was supposedly 12 weeks pregnant, i was so excited to go and get my ultrasound today to hear the heart beat. and then she found the baby, it as the size of a seven and half week old fetus. no heartbeat. i was bad with the pill during conception, missed a couple, and then my following period was way early etc.. i dont want to get my hopes up for my ultra sound next tuesday, but my ob said there was a chance i just really wasnt as far along as a previously thought. the first day of my last pe

Fetus at 5 weeks : So Im suppose to be getting my wisdom teeth (all 4 of them) removed on Tuesday because they are impacted and trying to come in through my back teeth since I have no room for them to grow in normally and Im in a ton of pain. It is okay to go through with the procedure even though Im 4-5 weeks pregnant?? Please no sarcastic answers. Ive been pregnant before and never had to go through any dental work until now. Someone please help.

Fetus at 5 weeks : I started bleeding 2 days ago, bright red with big clots, went to the ER and they did a u/s that showed a active healthy appearing fetus with no problems that they could detect.. I bled for 10 hours and slowed to brown with big brown clots now. I went to the ER again today since I still am having the brown bleeding w cramping and they just basically sent me home saying the fetus was growing good and to just stay on bedrest.. It is so frustrating NOT knowing what causes this bleeding and worryi

Fetus at 5 weeks : Two weeks ago, I got my results back from the u/s saying that I have a blighten ovum- no evidence of a fetus inside. The doctor says that most likely I am no longer pregnant. However I need to go and take another u/s on Tuesday. Last night after having some chinese food, my stomach started to turn. I felt awful for around 5 minutes. I couldn't sleep all night, because I had consistent lower back pain. The pain wasn't as bad as period cramps though! For 2 days now, I had mild bleeding-bro

Fetus at 5 weeks : I went to the doctor today because I was experiencing some lower back pain & very small amount of brown spotting (which stopped in a matter of half an hour). They did a physical exam, and my cervix is closed (which is a good sign). My hcg levels went up appropriately ( last Saturday it was at 600, today it was 2500), which is another good sign. However the ultrasound they said was inconclusive because only a sac & yolk sac was detected, not a fetal pole or heart beat. They said it could be too

Fetus at 5 weeks : I just found out that I am about 5-6 weeks pregnant. I have done some research on the effects to the unborn fetus, and it says usually the scan doesn't harm the fetus? Is this true? Can their be any other problems or effects that all the radations will have on my unborn fetus? Can anyone help me find some anwsers ?

Fetus at 5 weeks : Here is my story: I found out I was pregnant On January 25 in Feb my HGC was 644 a week later it risen to over 1500 4 to 5 days later it risen to over 2300 not a great incline, but an incline. In Feb I also started spotting some brown some red not too much just a strand here or there... and all together not enough to fill a pad. I had an U/S in March 4 The docs first told me that there was no baby my body absorb what ever was there and I WAS miscarrying! On March 5 My personal doc call with

Fetus at 5 weeks : before any1 reading this goes all moral, telling me im a murderer, if that is your opinion, please dont answer, i need help, not judged i had a baby 5 months ago, and i think i might be pregnant, ive was exteamly stupid and hadnt yet chose what contraception i wanted, but me and my partner have decided that we cant have another baby, we have a 2 yr old aswell. i have been suffering post natal depression and just started to get help for it. if i am pregnant, i will be getting the abortion pill

Fetus at 5 weeks : Here's my situation:This maybe TMI I got pregnant on Jan 5th it was our first try and we conceived(we were lucky) I had a u/s at 8 weeks and the fetus wasn't developing and no heartbeat I had a d&c on Feb.15th and only had a Very Little amount of bleeding Then on Feb. 17th a brown(dark) discharge for maybe 3 days(not alot) My Dr. said I hardly had any bleeding during the procedure which was good. I had unprotected sex 9 days after the procedure and probably 5 times after Then on Saturday Mar

Fetus at 5 weeks : I went to the doctor this week to hear that I possibly have a blighted ovum. However, I need to go back in 2 weeks to get another u/s done to confirm. According to the ultra sound it states: intra-uterine gestational sac. Sac size corresponds to 5 weeks 6 days. No fetal pole. There is a yolk sac in place measuring 8 mm. The yolk sac is larger than one would normally see and this is suspicious for a blighted ovum. Suggest follow up study in 1 to 2 weeks. According to the doctor based on

Fetus at 5 weeks : Hi! I went for my first ultrasound yesterday thinking I was 7 weeks along according to my last period. All they saw was the sac...no yolk or fetus. They say it could be 1 of 2 things. 1. I could be very early and ovulated late so that would mean i'd only be 4 or 5 weeks pregnant. 2. I have a blighted ovum. When I had my blood work done last i had a progesterone level of 55 and my hcg level went from 123 to well over 1800. I recently had a miscarriage and I don't think I can do it aga

Fetus at 5 weeks : My sister has irregular cycles, so when she found out she was pregnant a sono was done and the doc determined that she was 8 weeks pregnant, but just a hair smaller then expected so maybe 7 weeks 5-6 days. Today, exactly a week later the baby measures 8 weeks 3-4 days. This tells ME the baby is not growing as expected. My sister has miscarried 5 times and finally had a live birth less then two years ago. Given her history should we be extra concerned? Anybody out there experience this? Could

Fetus at 5 weeks : I know the babys heart begins to beat in the 5th week http://www.babycenter.com/6_your-pregnancy-5-weeks_1094.bc?intcmp=Nav_Global_MyBC_Stagepage Why dont I get to hear it until the 11th or 12th week? Is it too small to hear at 5 weeks? Does it have anything to do with that around that time the baby is considered a fetus instead of an embryo? Thanks!!

Fetus at 5 weeks : i would really like to hear some stories, i seen a amazing picture of a baby that was as long as a pen and survived! i want to know if you know any? 30 weeks pregnant with my first... and its a boy!

Fetus at 5 weeks : Hello. My last cycle was 12/22/07. i was due to come on 01/17/08. The test showed positive. i dont know what to think. i went to the obgyn on 01/15. everything was fine and i was 8 weeks. went back 01/22 for ultra sound. we saw the sac but there was no embryo/fetus inside. the sac was measured and i was only 6 weeks and the sac was where it should be. she said 50/50 chance of a miscarriage. i took blood test for the hormone levels on 1/22 and 01/25. the nurse called me because my levels droppe

Fetus at 5 weeks : I dont know if I'm pregnant, and want to know which of these things can be harmful to the fetus if I actually am (before I can take a test): 1. Vigorous (Turbo Jam Type) Excercise daily. 2. Tight Pants (around the abdomen and hips), mostly jeans. 3. Peppermint Herbal Tea. 4. A glass of wine now and then. 5. Anything else I should avoid that I haven't listed????? Thanks a BUNCH!!! :)

Fetus at 5 weeks : I'm 7 weeks pregnant, (meaning my fetus is actually 5 weeks old) and when I went into dr for my ultrasound sound this week, he told me somethin was wrong cuz he couldn't hear a heartbeat and the embryo looked like it wasn't growing right??? And there's a strong possibility that I could miscarry....I was totally upset at what he was saying. But really confused, cuz I dunno if he accidently had some other woman's chart who was further along or he just had a long day that day.....who knows?? But

Fetus at 5 weeks : My wife if 8 wks pregnant. From 5 wks she's had mild cramping. 9 days ago she had severe pain and bleeding (fresh blood). Took her to hospital and they gave an internal exam, blood test (hCG), Ultrasound and said it's a possible twin pregnancy and she'd lost one. The other fetus was OK, heart beating (161bpm) and hCG levels looked a little high. Another ultrasound and hCG test was done 2 days ago and hCG continues to rise, ultrasound still showed heartbeat. Doc said to relax a little and nat

Fetus at 5 weeks : My doctor ordered a blood test Monday and a blood test today to check my HCG levels because according to the date of my last period, I should be 9 weeks pregnant. However, I wondered if I ovulated late because of CM during that time and later because I didn't have a positive HPT until I was 3 1/2 weeks late (+ was 3 days after a - blood test, BTW). When we did a transvaginal ultrasound, we found a fetus that looked about 6 weeks old. Saw a heartbeat, but the doc said it looked just a tad slow

Fetus at 5 weeks : When i found out i was pregnant i went to an E.R. in texas and they told me that I had a large uterus & that i was only 3.5weeks pregnant. The u/s showed a sac and no embryo. 1week later i went an e.r. in Indiana for lil discharge and they told me that i was 6.5 weeks pregnant and still no embryo was visible. My hcg levels were shooting up and were really high and all my test were +. 2weeks after that i had another u/s and still the same-no fetus, but they didnt check my hcg levels. Im so conf

Fetus at 5 weeks : I took a pregnancy test and it was faintly positive at this point i was 5 days late. I was always hot, which isnt normal because i am always cold. then my hubby and i had intercourse and next day started to bleed and had very bad cramps. By this point went to the Dr. and the blood test was neg. but i started to bleed heavily and lots of blood clots and light colored stringy stuff. so they said i was having a miscarriage and gave my birthcontrol and it stopped by bleeding but continued to have

Fetus at 5 weeks : So here's my next question to all the wise ones? When I have my first ultrasound, the age of my baby (fetus) will be barely 5 weeks. What are my chances of hearing his/her heart-beat? Thanks ya'll. I would really like to see the heart-beat. I have already seen the yolk sac, so maybe I'll postpone my appointment by one more week.

Fetus at 5 weeks : I had a miscarriage approximately 4 months ago. It was a "missed miscarriage" and then eventually I had all the physical symptoms. I was about 4-5 weeks along when the fetus stopped progressing. I know I definitely expelled the fetus. I went to the doctor previous to the miscarriage, thats how we knew we had a possible miscarriage, then had my second blood levels drawn- then we found out for sure it was a miscarriage. I never had my levels drawn after I had the physical miscarriage(I just

Fetus at 5 weeks : I had another ultrasound yesterday (This makes like 6 which is nuts cause Im only 9 weeks pregnant). The doctor was happy to see the baby looks fine, great even and theres a good strong heart beat, but she said she was concerned about the size of the sac. Anyone else seen this or had this happen? Ive tried looking it up online and Im not finding anything, but the sac is measuring 1.5 weeks behind the fetus which is why the doctor says she is concerned. My HCG levels are doubling but its s

Fetus at 5 weeks : (LMP - Dec 21, 7w5d) I have had light brown spotting for the past week. Yesterday I got red spotting and clotting. I also started cramping so I went to the ER. They did a reg and transvag u/s. The dr says I am only 5 weeks pregnant and my hcg level was 6000 - consistent with 5 wks. There is NO WAY this is possible because the last time I had sex was on the 16th day. With a two week swing I would have had to have conceived around the 28th day and sperm can only live up to 3-5 days, 7 at

Fetus at 5 weeks : i was told i am 5 weeks but i took the test on 2-1-08 it was neg but on 2-7-08 it was positve when did i likely get pregant? when i go for ultra sound will it tell the exact age of the fetus? how long after ovaulating do u get pregant?

Fetus at 5 weeks : the blood is below the baby and the fetus heart beat is normal, I would like to know at what point will i feel the baby move, but i have lots of gas pain some of them take my breath away. By the way i lost a baby 5 yrs ago this baby was dead like 2week i don't know if that's the reason why i am in a panic but i really need to know why i am not feeling any movement

Fetus at 5 weeks : Can someone out there ease my mind. I'm 5 weeks pregnant and have experienced no morning sickness at all yet. Am i speaking too soon? I have no adversions to coffee or the like... should i be concerned? The only symptoms i seem to have so far are extreme fatigue, sore bb's and the occassional dizzy spell. I have read around the place that there is a link to an absence of morning sickness and loss of fetus in pregnancy..... Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Fetus at 5 weeks : Like women who get abortions at 19, 22 weeks? (I live in California and you can have abortions up to 22 weeks out here most clinics, 24 at some clinics). And they found out at like, 4, 5, 6 weeks they were pregnant, then suddenly decide at 19, 20 weeks when the baby is halfway developed, therefore, according to people who believe abortion is fine, "halfway a person" (since a lot of people who think abortion is fine don't believe a fetus is a person too) that they want an abortion, that it's th

Fetus at 5 weeks : I feel him moving off and on through the day on some days and then there are days where I dont feel much of anything. It this normal? And when are you supposed to be able to count their movements accurately?

Fetus at 5 weeks : At my last appointment I was told that my baby is already 5-5 1/2 pounds and I am only 33 weeks....How much larger do you think he will get by full term????

Fetus at 5 weeks : Ok everyone I hope you can follow my situation & give me some advice. Last week at my first ultrasound, my gestational sac measured at 5wks5days but they didn't see any yolk sac, fetus or fetal poles yet. Said it was too early. They've been taking blood work, Jan. 16 it was 16,000 then Jan. 18 it was 17,959 then Jan. 23 it was 25,000. Yesterday they did a second ultrasound, the tech said I was measured at 5wks3days so she said between 5 and 6 wks. She saw a few white spots on the ultrasound an
