Early ultrasound? When is it too soon?

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
I had a transvag u/s today by a doc I went to see for a 2nd opinion regarding my low progesterone level. He did the u/s but was unable to really find anything...said, "well I'm not feeling very confident in my u/s skills today." Thought he could have found the yolk sack but thought it looked more like a cyst on my ovary vs a sack? He scheduled me for a regular u/s tomorrow. But I am only 6w3d pregnant....isn't this too soon to see anything either way? Also, I have a 35 day cycle and ovulate closer to day 21 so even though I'm 6w3d I feel the development of the baby would be more like 5w3d. I keep getting bunk doctors who don't want to be strait forward with me. Does anyone know anything about these ultrasounds? How worried should I be that he did not find anything today?

  • Hey it really is too early to see anything! I had an us last week and they didn't see a sac or anything but confirmed I was pregnant through a beta test. Now I just have to go back to make sure my hcg levels are going up!
  • My doctor didn't want to do one before 14 @ least

  • Thanks for the comments guys...its amazing how reassuring a few comments can be! This is so scary! Is anyone else constantly freaking out about miscarriage! Ugh!
  • I saw a fetal pole and a heartbeat at 6+2. But if your dates are off or if you ovulated late it could be too early. Good luck to you!
  • Yes!!! I had one on Oct... so any cramp or loss of symptoms makes me crazy!!!
  • I had one at 6w3d and saw a sac and when she amplified it as large as she could you could make out a baby and a heartbeat of 120bpm saw the heartbeat clearly but was very hard for the machine to read it took a few tries. Good luck!
  • Good news! Still preggers :) My progesterone level has gone from 4.7 to 36, HCG level doubled in 48 hours, but ultrasounds are just measuring me behind at 5w2d, according to my last period I was 6w5d, but this explains why they had a hard time seeing much on the u/s. They did see the gestational sack and yolk sack, but no fetal pole yet...too early they said, no worries! Thank God! We are celebrating tonight!
  • Good, at 6w they'd be able to see the heart beat, and its only a 4% chance of mc when they do. Congrats.
