Answer 1

there is a chance then again it also could have been a false pregnancy

Answer 2

Sound like it can be a blighted ovum

What is a blighted ovum?
A blighted ovum (also known as “anembryonic pregnancy”) happens when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall, but the embryo does not develop. Cells develop to form the pregnancy sac, but not the embryo itself. A blighted ovum usually occurs within the first trimester before a woman knows she is pregnant. A high level of chromosome abnormalities usually causes a woman’s body to naturally miscarry.

How do I know if I am having or have had a blighted ovum
A blighted ovum can occur very early in pregnancy, before most women even know that they are pregnant. You may experience a missed or late menstrual period, minor abdominal cramps, minor vaginal spotting or bleeding, and a possible positive pregnancy test. As with a normal period, your body may flush the uterine lining but your period may be a little heavier then usual.

Many women assume their pregnancies are on track because their hCG levels are increasing. The placenta can continue to grow and support itself without a baby for a short time and pregnancy hormones can continue to rise which would lead a woman to believe she is still pregnant. A diagnosis is usually not made until an ultrasound tests shows either an empty womb or an empty birth sac.

What causes a blighted ovum?
A blighted ovum is the cause of about 50% of first trimester miscarriages and is usually the result of chromosomal problems. A woman’s body recognizes abnormal chromosomes in a fetus and naturally does not try to continue the pregnancy because the fetus will not develop into a normal, healthy baby. This can be caused by abnormal cell division, or poor quality sperm or egg.

Answer 3

I knew a woman once who became pregnant outside of the uterus and the baby actually grew its placenta on her intestines. I think she ended up being pregnant for like 13 months before they dicided it would kill them both to deliver the baby who was still not developed. I hope this isn't the case for you, but if it is similar at least you know you aren't alone. Best wishes

Answer 4

are you sure u are preg. u dont nomaly have any kind of period when ur preg. you may have had faulse labor witch can happen quiet offten. it dont matter if u have sex every 5 mins that dont mean you are gonna get preg. if the docs cant find a baby than 9 times out of 10 there is no baby. but there is a chance u could have lost the baby

Answer 5

Hello:
After "conception" (a sperm and a ovule are united) it takes about 2 weeks before you have positive pregnant hormones. Between 5 an 7 weeks you can find a beating heart with ultrasound. Check with you OB... he can answer more questions!

good luck

Answer 6

Did the doctor ever tell you that you were pregnant? Irregular periods are not uncommon; stress factors in quite a bit.

Answer 7

Have you had an ultrasound?? They can't tell where the baby is from a hormonal test. Go for an ultrasound...

Answer 8

You'd have to have a U/S done, but I'd be careful with that as well. A couple of girls I know have been told their babies were dead when they weren't, and one had already gone through with a D&C.

Answer 9

It might be a blighted ovum. I had the same thing happen to me. You might have to have a d and c performed.I only had the sac and no baby.It may pass on its own, or may have to be removed as mine was.

Answer 10

why are you asking us? this is a question you should be asking a gynocologist.
