I just went for another altersound and I am 4 weeks and the doc still did not see anything and they even did the prob the one they stick up u? When can you see the baby in the altersound? Have you ever heard of someone having a altersound at 4 weeks and not seeing the baby? And the baby being OK? I got 3 blod test and it still shows my blood rising if it is a tubal pregnant is your blood still rising? I am just really scard that there is something wrong with my baby.

I don't work in this field. Someone who does can give you more definitive answers.

My understanding is that the embryo and the heartbeat are not commonly seen much before 6 weeks, so I think you've got some time to wait and not worry. Not to mention that many times there are dating errors in determining how long you have been pregnant.

Is there a reason for scheduling so soon? Past history of tubals?

As long as your HCG levels are continuing to rise, I wouldn't worry about an ectopic. By the time the levels drop off, if all is going well, you will certainly have the ultrasound confirmation you are anxious for.

Well the reason why I am so weiried is because I was having cramps about a week ago so the doc tought it could be a tubal pregnant. But something else really grose happened last night I know it might sound really grose but I had a little bit of briown blood come out of me last night and it had a little bit of brown chunks in it is that normal because I don't think it is.

Brown spotting is better than red. And it does happen.

Cramping can sometimes be a problem.

You'll keep checking the hormone levels. They should keep rising. You've got a few nervous weeks probably. But again, spotting does happen. You should get a heartbeat in the next few weeks.

I'm going through the same thing the only thing is I have one ovary and one tub on oppsite sides and I was told I had 13% chance of getting pregnant and I am so it can happen but I had two ectopic pregnancys and it's to early to see were the pregnancys is it's not in the uterus yet well my ph levels say 2 1/2 weeks and they wanted to go off the last peroied well that would be 5 weeks still a week early to see but I'm getting blood testing back this week and hope this is my merical baby! I had a little craping and a spot of blood it make me worried only because of my past and I have free fluid in pelvis so that worried me and a lesion on my ovary well that could have burst or because I just missed my first peroied so fluied can be there when you ovalte!
