My wife is 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant (last period Aug 14) and blood test and urine has confirmed pregnancy.
Since last week Wednesday we have been noticing light spotting occasionally. Sometimes we see tiny clots of blood in her deejay.

We were at the hospital today and paid a lot of money for evaluation.

Doctor says :
1. he has confirmed that no signs of ectopic pregnancy (tubal) .
2. He however said he is unable to see a gestational sac in the uterus. He used a small scanner that I personally doubt its efficacy.
3. He said the only other thing that can cause a non visible gestational sac is a complete miscarriage since he is sure there is no ectopic pregnancy.

Now he has referred us to another laboratory for a scan on Saturday (pregnancy will be 6 weeks and 4 days at the time.)

My question is,

1. shouldn't he be doing a transvaginal scan instead of a pelvic scan as that is more accurate ?
2. Is referring us to another lab a subtle ittance that their equipment is not adequate ?
3. Is it possible to have a complete miscarriage and just experience light spotting like my wife is having? She only notices it when she wipes and even the doc said what he saw during examination is not a cause for concern.

Please advise me as I am really loosing my mind here.

hello sir, first of all... congratulation on the BFP.... you took the right step seeking consultation with a doctor but getting a consultation with a good doctor is very important... the doctor you went to see should know that ordinary pelvic scan cant detect an early pregnancy... i think he knew... reason why he refer you to another place to have a transvaginal scan..... and i also think he did the pelvic scan for your wife to rule out ectopic pregnancy to put u and you wife mind at rest but he should have told u guys that 5weeks pregnancy cant be visible through an ordinary pelvic scan. And as for you wife spotting, many things can be a cause ... it can also be just a minor thing and the pregnancy will just be progressing as normal and the spotting will stop but one cant be sure about what is causing the spotting until a transvaginal scan is being done.... just take ur wife to where you can have the scan done... i am sure there are many place you can go to around your area. i hope all is well... and goodluck to you and your wife.

Thank you very much for your response.
We have decided to do a TVS.

We want to wait till Saturday (6 weeks and 4 days).

At that time do you think a TVS will surely pick it up ?

Thanks for your time.

Most times it is usually that way. As a first time mum,it takes a long time to show. However, if its a second pregnancy the bump usually shows much earlier and appears big.

This is to give an update.
We were at diagnostic center and did a trans-veejay today.

The sonographer said... he is unable to see a gestational sac, he noticed however that the endometrium is significantly thickened.

He also said no signs of ectopic pregnancy.

And miscarriage is also a doubt cos most miscarriages will still show gestational sac except its complete miscarriage of which the bleeding will be heavier and significantly more noticeable.
Is it possible to have a complete miscarriage and not have any signs of it?

He asked again if we had a positive pregnancy test and we told him we have tested thrice in different places and result is positive.

His suggestion is that the pregnancy might be younger than we think, even if my wife last menses was Aug 14 he feels if she ovulated much later pregnancy might be younger and so making it difficult to see a gestational sac even with Trans-veejay.

Now we asked him what could be causing th blood clot, he said there is no sign of ectopic pregnancy same thing the gynecologist said he thinks the clot may be due to changes in the uterus or even from fibroid(my wife has small fibroids) .

The conclusion is that we wait for 2 more weeks and come back for a scan.

Any inputs is welcome.

you should go for the advice of d sonographer... wait 2weeks more for better result... Late ovulation maybe why the gestational sac isnt visible yet. #FingerCrossed

To the glory of God Almighty we welcomed our twin boys on the 31st Aug. 2024 via emergency c section(both babies were breech) at exactly 35 weeks pregnant , though we measured ahead of about 12 days right from our 16 weeks scan. Alhamdulullah Babies and mama are doing very well. Twin 1 measured 2.5 while Twin 2 measured 2.6.

Need to say i was still at work the previous day and it was when i got back from work i started leaking fluid. I was so scared as it woukd be the first time i would see water first during labour and we were discharged on the fouth day. Thank you to everyone for sharing your stories and journey with us.

I pray for safe deliveries for all our belleful mothers.

Mothers are super Heros and Allah Ta'ala (God Almighty) is the Greatest and He is worthy of our Praises and thanksgiving Alway.

Which of the Favours of my Rabb can I deny?

ABSOLUTELY NONE!

if u have strong body... Why not? Go ahead, its safe... But if not, pls dont... I know sm1 dt took paracetamol n unfortunately, lost her preggy... It was really weird, i must say.... D amount of pains i was him wen i was 4weeks gone were unbearable, sneezing, catarrh n blocked nose for about 4more weeks didnt allow me rest... But d fear of d unknown made me refused to take paracetamol.... But in own case, i am kinda concerned about d elevated temperature, why dont u seek a doctor's consultation.... Having temp might not be pregnancy related

thanks so much for ur response. I asked a doc who said i could but fear made me take one dosage which made me felt better. Thanks mama
