8 week ultrasound accuracy
Posted: 12-02-07 08:19am

went to the doctor because I thought I could be pregnant despite having all my periods for 3 months,(I'm on birth control and didn't know if it was possible to still have a withdrawal period if you got pregnant on it or not.) and negative blood and urine tests. I just felt weird and thought that I was prego! I know it sounds crazy, but I'm overly paranoid. So, she sent me for a transvaginal ultrasound and had the tech give me a little anatomy lesson. She showed me my ovaries, the lining of my uterus and even where a baby would be if I were pregnant. So, I felt better when my doc told me that there was no baby there and put me on birth control. Well, now I'm being overly paranoid again (nothing unusual!) because I didn't tell her that me and my ex (we were still dating at the time) were messing around and he wanted to have sex but I didn't, but he stuck his penis in me anyway and I pushed him off! The doc sent me for a blood test the day before the ultrasound and it was negative, and I would have been 8 weeks from the incident in which a pregnancy would have happened. My question is, could they have missed a baby at 8 weeks pregnant on ultrasound. Wouldn't the tech have at least seen a gestational sac? I know the chances are slim, but please help me ease my mind! I've had all of my periods also, they've just been lighter. Any help would be appreciated!
