1st transvaginal Ultrasound was done by a Nurse Practioner at Drs. office on 11/8 - machine dated me at 6w 2d when I thought I was only 5w 4d. Fetus and sac were visible, with no detectable heart beat (might be a tad too early.)

OB ordered a level 2 transvaginal Ultrasound at the hospital on 11/9. Technician could not see fetus at all, although the sac was clearly identifiable. This machine has higher resolution, and should have been able to locate the fetus. OB and I are sure I have not miscarried yet.Levels are still going up, and I have not passed any tissue.

OB wants me to come back to his office next week so he can do another ultrasound himself. Has anyone ever had a similar experience? If a MD could respond that would be great! While I am realistic about the chances of this pregancy not being viable, I am hoping against hope! Also, could you comment on the accuracy of machine to machine? I am very scared!
