Could anybody help me? I am going out of my mind with worry.
I have been trying for a baby for years and up to now have had a miscarriage at 9 weeks and an unsuccessful round of IVF.
To my astonishment I found that I was pregnant the very next month after my IVF cycle. As I am very nervous I went to the EPU for an early scan (which I now regret).
At 5 weeks and 6 days there was a 9mm gestational sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole. I was told to wait 2 weeks for a follow up scan however my IVF clinic did another scan today at 6 weeks 2 days. There seems to have been no change at all (although she didn't measure it).
Should there not have been a change by now?
Does anyone have a similar story that could shine some light onto this? I would love some feedback.
Thank you.

Hi Frenchie. I don't know much about this myself, but there is a really long thread about it in the "pregnancy complications" section. If you haven't already read that, check it out. I think it will make you feel better, as it seems like this is pretty common. The thread is entitled "5 weeks pregnant, no fetal pole or yolk sac" Good luck!
