This isn't for me, but for a friend. She's had more than her share of pregnancy and ttc heartbreaks. Now she is six weeks pregnant and saw an empty egg sac during first u/s. anyone have this happen and end up with a viable pregnancy?

Did your friend get any news or do a new ultrasound? Thinking of her!

I unfortunately do not have anything encouraging to say except that I hope things work out. Usually at 6 weeks, they should be able to see something inside the sac. I'm so sorry...

@Mrs. Sketchbook: I'm curious as to how this turned out for your friend. I'm going through the same thing right now. My ultrasound at 6 weeks and 4 days showed just an empty gestational sac. They did another blood test and told me to wait another week to come in for an ultrasound (we were either too early or it's a blighted ovum). I'm coming off of a miscarriage from back in June so of course my head is not in a good place during this week of waiting...

@Shantuck: hugs. I had a blighted ovum. My OB said doing betas wouldn't help because they can continue to rise even if nothing is there. Best way to check is via ultrasound

@T.H.O.U.: Thanks. The thought was that the numbers might clearly tell me if things were going badly but of course they didn't. They rose from 5,470 at 5 weeks, 4 days to 22,116 at 6 weeks, 4 days so the waiting game continues. I'm scheduled for another ultrasound on Friday but I don't have a great feeling about this. I'm sorry that you went through this as well.
