6 week scan and no fetal pole or heartbeat?
I had a miscarriage earlier this year so the OB said I could have an early scan to reassure myself.  Well this back fired on me because its stressing me more than helping me.  I was 6w2d friday.  I had a positive pregnancy test on 5/25.  They showed me as 5 weeks pregnant on the scan which is impossible based on when I got the positive test.  The tech called the Dr at the hospital u/s into the room and even the Dr said based on those dates (LMP and BFP) it didn't look good.  I had blood work and will get the results tomorrow (had blood 10 days prior so willhave a # to compare it to).  And I have to go back next Friday for another scan.  I have prepared myself for the worse but want to know if anyone had this happen with a good outcome?  Oh the tech did think she saw a flickering and my husband said he saw it too when she pointed it out.  But what has me upset is that that the Dr said what he saw was not a 6 week pregnancy since there was a sac and yolk but no fetal pole.  After the Dr left the room the tech told me not to loose sleep over what the Dr said because she saw a nice healthy sac.  The other thing is she did both an abdominal and vaginal scan.  The abdominal was actually clearer (Same thing happened when I went ot the ER with my miscarriage).  She said it was because of the angle she had to do the vaginal.  She said it was because I had a tilted uterus.  I read somewhere that can effect what you see?
