At Thu, 30 Jan 2003, Waneta wrote: Waneta- I am in the exact same situation right now. I had two ultrasounds where they only saw the sac, but told me I was just under 5 weeks at the second u/s so it was too early. My doc called yesterday and said the second u/s was 7w4d, based on sac size. They also think they may have seen the yolk sac, but no embryo.

Did you have any blood tests prior to the u/s? My hcg hasn't been doubling, so I've been worried for a while. But you never know. The next u/s will give you more information. I'm getting another one next week, and hope they got my dates wrong and we see something.

It's so hard to have to "wait and see" in a situation like this. I've been on the Internet and this site non-stop trying to get more information. My thoughts are with you.
