I'm 6 wks pregnant & had 1st ultrasound 2day & Dr. saw no baby or gestational sac. Is this common?


Hello there! I recently had IVF for the second time and found out that I was pregnant. My first HCG level was 33 and then two days later it went to a 41. I've been told it is supposed to double every few days, so I was very nervous about this. Then it did double and went to a 131 and then a 321. My Dr. wanted me to go in for my first ultrasound at 6 weeks, which I did today and he didn't see anything at gestational sac, baby or anything. Now I am freaking out and wondering how common is this? Has anyone at all ever experienced anything similar? Please help!

He should be able to see something at 6 weeks. I had an u/s at 4 weeks, 2 days (worried about miscarriage) and we could see where the baby had implanted (no sac or embryo visible yet). Then, at 6 weeks, we could see the embryo and the gestational sac. I would call your Dr. for clarification. I don't mean to scare you, but it could be an ectopic pregnancy, if your hormones are going up, but they can't find the baby (I haven't had an ectopic pregnancy, I'm just telling you what I've read, and I'm not an expert). Hope that helps. Good luck!
