What Causes Empty Gestational Sac And Bleeding At 4.4 Weeks Pregnancy?
Question: I am about 4.4weeks pregnant, I developed spotting and went for an ultra scan which shown that my baby collapsed empty gestation sac. A day later I started bleeding. I was advice by my doctor to go for a 2nd scan the next day. I am afraid I don't want to believe I hv lost my baby after 3yrs of waiting.
Brief Answer:
Scan does not show a fetal node.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Avoiding the scan will not change the reality. If the gestational sac is empty then a repeat scan is advised to see if at all there is any growth of fetal node or the sac is detaching or not. Even if you do not go for a scan the bleeding will continue and eventually the sac will be expelled on its own. Please do not worry. It will not do any harm to you. The loss of pregnancy at such an early stage is usually due to chromosomal defect that is incompatible with life.
Do not lose heart. You will have a successful conception next time.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thanks so much, what can of medicines can I take, and how many weeks do I need 2 stay before sex again? Thirdly, I was advised by my doctor 2 go for evacuation? I am not to comfortable to go for it. Can I just take medicine and the abortion will be flushed completely?
Brief Answer:
Do not self medicate yourself.
Detailed Answer:
The abortion pills are given to expel the products but these need to be taken under the guidance of your gynecologist as it can be associated with serious side effects.
It is best to avoid having sex for 6 weeks so that your body can regain the strength to conceive again.
You can consult your gynecologist for the pills.
