I understand what you are saying when you say messuring, they messure the sac and it calculates what the size is to get the age of the sac/fetus.
The LITERAL meaning is that you suddenly grew another eye that was only used for measuring.
A second angle measuring 90 degrees minus the first angle.
If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy or placenta previa. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor.
You can use whatever units are printed on the measuring tape - just read the highest value off the tape. Then you can convert it to whatever units you want.Other than that - for instance, if you want to confirm whether the tape is accurate, measuring with ANOTHER measuring tape or some other method - I would use meters.
Just the 1 dimensional distance from one point to another
i had that too, Im currently 6 weeks pregnant and don't have an ultrasound for another 2 weeks
If your OB didn't find anything then that means that you either had a miscarriage or there wasn't anything there from the start. if nothing at all was there then probably no miscarriage unless you had a chemical pregnancy. I had a miscarriage and the ultrasound showed small empty sack, but no baby. It is interesting to note that two or three weeks later i had another ultrasound because of unexplained bleeding and i very much pregnant, everything that should be there was there. A lot of times when ultrasound shows just a sac a number of things can be the cause.It could be you're not as far gone as you thot or you're overweight with fat deposits around your mid or you have a tilted uterus. This is why a lot of OBs these days ask you to come back after a couple of days just to be sure. Check the website Misdiagnosed Miscarriage on the left; stories abound.
I just had this happen. I am 4-5 weeks and had a vaginal ultrasound and nothing showed. The ultrasound specialist, radiologist, er dr and an obgyn all told me that's normal around this time. I went back for bloodwork the next day and my HCG levels doubled. Good Luck. =) They have my "official" ultrasound scheduled at about 10 weeks.
It could be a miscarriage, although bleeding shouldn't be of concern if the fetus is properly developing. I suggest you go see your ob-gyn for another ultrasound in order to find out if the bleeding is serious. Ultrasounds don't cause blood or cramps. Take care, T. Hawk
Contact your doctor right away.it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor.
When measuring one point to another point you are measuring distance.
No!! It could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor.
Injustice.
ok, i can answer my own question now. the answer may help someone else. My daughter was pregnant and passed tissue we thought was a miscarriage. ultrasounds showed that her uterus had shed lining and become thin again. we were told by the doctor it was a miscarriage. she had to return in two weeks to get her pregnancy hormone level checked until it returned to 0. well her level had gone up from 562 to 8000 after the suspected miscarriage. had to go back to the doctor immediately and another ultrasound showed an etopic pregnancy. had to do surgery immediately.

From what I understand, you should see a fetal pole by that time. However, I would go back for another u/s in about a week to see if things have changed or not.
20-25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, but having one miscarriage does not put you at any greater risk of having another. Good luck
