[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last week, an in office ultrasound confirmed an empty gestational sac that measured 6 weeks, 3 days.  I am 38, 3rd pregnancy (2 healthy babies for first two), and it was a vaginal ultrasound.  She didn’t check my hcg levels at that appt but I’m nauseous, tired, and have many pregnancy symptoms.  I have a 10 day follow up ultrasound to confirm.  I may have ovulated a week late, so my 7 week appointment may have been 6.  The doctor seemed pretty convinced it was BO, wherein we would need to discuss a D&C, pill or natural miscarriage.  Thoughts on those?  Or, was anyone surprised to find that there was a healthy baby on a follow-up ultrasound?  This 10 day wait is torture![/quote]

OP here.  After a long 10 days, the follow-up ultrasound showed a baby (heartbeat, fetal pole, sac).  Still in shock, but very happy.  I am a week behind what was originally thought.  Although the sac originally measured 6.3 weeks, I was only 5.3 weeks.  At that time it can be difficult to see anything and I also have a tilted uterus that may have contributed to difficulty with an early ultrasound.  I appreciated all of the helpful comments, and want to share in case anyone is searching this thread/issue in the future.   [/quote]
