6w2d ultrasound measuring 5w4d + “probable” yolk sac - looking for similar stories
I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has had a similar early ultrasound, whether the outcome was good or bad. I’m trying very hard not to Google myself into oblivion while I wait for my repeat scan next week.
This was a monitored/triggered cycle, so I have a fairly good idea of when I ovulated. I had an Ovidrel trigger on 7/19 at 9 AM, so I’m pretty confident I’m approximately 6w2d today and don’t think I could realistically be a full 5 days earlier.
My beta progression has been:
8/4 (about 16 days after trigger): 87
8/6: 172
8/10: 521
8/12: 1,138
8/14: 2,318
So the betas have been rising really well, generally doubling in roughly 42–58 hours.
I had my first ultrasound today at 6w2d. They saw:
- Gestational sac, but measuring approximately 5w4d
- A “probable” yolk sac, but apparently it wasn’t clear enough for them to call it definite
- No fetal pole/embryo or heartbeat yet
I’m going back for another ultrasound in one week.
I know that gestational-sac measurements aren’t necessarily accurate for dating this early, but because this was a monitored cycle and I have a pretty concrete idea of when ovulation occurred, I’m having a hard time convincing myself that I’m simply 5w4d.
I’m also struggling with the fact that the yolk sac wasn’t clearly identifiable. At 6w2d, I had really hoped to see more.
I’m not looking for false reassurance and I know nobody can predict the outcome from Reddit. I’d genuinely love to hear any similar circumstance.
I’m really struggling with the wait until next week. ❤️
