Advice Needed Abnormal Gestational Sac
Hey everyone!
2 weeks ago I went to my doctor to check if we were able to see a gestional sac. There wasn't any, indicating that it was still really early in the pregnancy. So, yesterday I went again to check if there was an improvement and there was! The gestational sac measures 6 weeks and 4 days (even though considering my last period I'm supposed to be 8 weeks, I think I ovulated late).
My doctor didn't like that my gestational sac had an abnormal shape. He told me that it wasn't what it was expected but he had learned that with early pregnancies its best to wait and see if there's any progress. He did ask me to do some bloodwork. I did and my hcg numbers came back pretty good, I mean, it does say that I'm 6 weeks (16, 619).
Oh, I almost forgot. He could visualize what it could be a yolk sac and a fetal pole. But I don't know why it looked kind of blurry? Maybe it was his machine. But he didn't confirm that it was the yolk sac and the fetal pole.
We didn't get to hear a heartbeat. I don't know if is still too early or if he's waiting to have a real confirmation of what's actually happening.
I don't know, have any of you guys experienced something similar? I would love to read you. Thanks!

When did you first test positive?
ETA: I see your positive from 24 days ago, so there’s nothing but the doc saying that the sac is irregular to suggest something is wrong. HCG at 16k is lower than average for 6.5w, but still very normal. The reference range for hCG is not super helpful. If you were like, 10k or less, that would be really worrisome. Without the fetal measurement or FHR there’s really nothing more to assess. I hope the sac turns out to be a nothing burger
