Okay...what do you think? Here's my story. I went in to the doctors office on tuesday for a regular o.b. check up. My eleven week 4day check up to be exact. She could not hear a heart beat with the doppler. So she scheduled a sonogram for thursday. At the sonogram...they found a gestational sac that measured 7wks. Not 11. And what she "thought" might be a fetal pole that measured somewhat like 6 and 1/2 weeks. However she could not find a heart beat. She believes something is wrong. I assumed my baby is dead.So she calls up my doctor and tells her what she's seen and what she thinks etc. I went in to talk to my doctor yesterday afternoon. And she explained that i could either be experiencing a "molar pregnancy" or i'm off on my conception dates (which could be because my cycles are extremely irregular even though i was sure of my lmp.) Now i would think if it were a molar pregnancy there would be some visible lumpy tissue on the sonogram. Opinions please?

I would just wait for results from the doc. But that's not until next friday! This week is going to be murder!

Its common to skip your period and get pregnant during that new cycle. Which would make you 6 weeks not 11. At 6 weeks its quite common for there not to be a heartbeat.
If sac and pole seem to suggest this is what happened.
They should have scheduled you for a second sonogram next week or so, to see if there has been any growth or change in the embryo.
At this point, I would assume that the baby is simply at 6-7 weeks gestation, and has not yet reached that moment where the heart springs to life. This happens quite often.
You will know soon enough just whats going on. Until then, keep on acting as though youre pregnant, eat right, stay relaxed and provide the best envrionment you can for what seems to be growing inside you.
Worry about how to react if its something less fortunate later.

the sonogram is mostly correct so i know it a mother to worry but don't worry until the next apt.
