I have had 3 positive pregancy tests. The doctor is not sure how far along yet because I have PCOS and have not had a period in two months. He couldn't find a sac or a heartbeat with a sono. Has anyone had a similar experience? Is it just too early to see right now.

There are many possibilities. It could be too early to see the pregnancy via sonogram, you could have an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy or the doctor may have an outdated ultrasound machine or an inexperienced technician. I would get a second opinion with another OBGYN. I saw that someone mentioned molar pregnancy. In that case, a sac would be present, but no heartbeat. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

He needs to put on his list of differential diagnoses a teratoma with a placental component.
Some gonadal tumors are well differentiated enough to form the hormone. It is my understanding that Lance Armstrong's malignancy was of this type, choriocarcinoma. VERY sensitive to chemotherapies, these tumors most often are.
I also had a partial molar pregnancy, apparently fairly common. Also make sure he looks for tubal pregnancy.
No it is not too early. If you are that far along, they definitely should see the heartbeat.

My daughter had what they thought was a blighted ovum. Check that on your web browser. Hers wasn't actually a blighted ovum. They couldn't tell with the sono, so they went to the hospital for more extensive tests. The fetus had failed to grow after six weeks. It was dead, but not as yet miscarried. Finally miscarried by week 14. You might check the blighted ovum theory though. Sounds more like it.

Get your IVF-invitro fertilization treatment in India .IVF treatment ,IUI,ICSI and Laparoscopic surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges all types of medical treatment andsurgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as some of the surgery including ivf treatment is not covered by insurance.
They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your IVF treatment can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The doctors are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.I recently also read about a chinese couple facilitated by forerunners healthcare were able to get their baby by IVF and a surrogate mother.
my cousin and her husband got their IVF treatment in India through the forerunners healthcare in India and is all praise for this company.She is a known case of PCOS.She is a very happy mother of a baby boy now. She just paid 2500 pounds for the full treatment for which she was quoted 8000 pounds in private setup in UK.I strongly recommend this company to you as they can be of great help to you.hope this helps

Good luck!
