A member asked:

I had an ultrasound yesterday at five and half weeks and the doctor said the sac was not attached? could this cause a miscarriage or is that already?

Early Pregnancy: With a pregnancy this early, it is hard to draw any concrete conclusions. You should have HCG done and repeated in 48 hours, and a repeat u/s in the next 2 weeks. Hang in there, but it may take some time to figure out what is going on. Good Luck.
