6 Cm Fibroid Pregnancy
week 6 no embryo..ultrasound through fibroid (myoma)–can that make it harder to see? Please help!?
Hi,
I am desperate for an answer on this one. I had one successful pregnancy and two miscarriages–the embryo failed to develop. It was just an empty sac. Now I am in the 7th week.
At 6 weeks and 2 days (4 weeks and 2 past known ovulation date), I had my first U/S. The doctor saw the embryonic sac but nothing in it. The sac was also small for the date–5 days smaller. He thinks I may be off on my ovulation date but I chart and know for sure that I am not.
I also have a large (6×6 cm) fibroid near the cervix. The U/S has to go through the fibroid. When I saw the sac image on the screen, it looked clear to me. But is it possible that the fibroid makes the embryo impossible to see yet? I have never heard about this before–only that a retroverted uterus can affect when the embryo and heart beat can be seen. I know that in the 7th week, the embryo should be seen and usually the heartbeat, too. I am sick with worry over this as I don’t know how to faced another miscarriage. Help?
i hope this isn’t the case for you.
i hope it is hust hard to see
was your doc the on who did the u/s you coulld ask to be referred to radioligy…
have them try for a belly u/s (they put the probe on your belly, or vaginally??) have both types done by radioligist.
but docss, and radioligsts rarely make mistakes, they are very careful when the give the sad news about a pregnancy that has ended or didn’t grow right they are very careful before they say i’m sorry.
good luck and god bless
