Advice needed!

[drmom]

I was wondering if you ladies could give me some feedback. I went to work today (4w5d pregnant) and one of my u/s techs offered to do a scan...we did a transabdominal ultrasound which showed nothing but a thickened endometrium. Is this a bad sign or is it too early to see a gestation sac on abdominal ultrasound? Trying not to freak out!

In my opinion, it is really early- at 4 weeks, the baby is about the size of a poppy seed! Also, they typically do a transvaginal u/s early on because you can see a lot more that way- they do the abdominal ones when things get bigger and move higher up in your abdomen. I personally wouldn't stress out over that- it's so early! I think your beta numbers are most important right now. Let us know what happens!

I agree with the previous poster. You wouldn't be able to see anything on an abdominal ultrasound so early, which is why many places only do vaginal ultrasounds before 7 or 8 weeks. Also, 4w5d is really early to even see things on vaginal u/s, so don't stress. Baby (and sac) are super small right now. Congrats!

I just had a scan (vaginal) at 6 weeks nd saw a heartbeat of 99. Most dr don't recommend scns before 6 weeks. I was prepared to see nothing and re scan a few days later.

Sending you best wishes

Don't let it worry you!!! It's WAY to early to see anything on an abdominal ultrasound!

i have never heard of doing a transabdominal; trans vaginal girl!!!

Transvaginal done! One sac, right where it should be, measuring 5 weeks exactly, no yolk sac or fetal pole yet, but it's early! Thank you all for your support!
