I have been in the biggest funk! I'm not in a bad mood. I just feel like a zombie. I don't want to be at home because life just drags on. I'm tired (because I'm pregnant, or so I think) and being at home is not relaxing because I have to be in a constant state of cleaning, cooking, or entertaining. All I want to do at home is lie on the couch or in a bed and sleep the next 2 days away...but life must go on. It's the waiting that is terrible. I just want to know one way or the other!!!!
In the meantime, I've been on google of course reading about every similar story. It's driving me nuts but I can't help it. I'm an addict! LOL. The good news is that I hear more positive outcomes from my situation than negative ones, for instance....
This one:
Tilted Uterus and Early Pregnancy
Yes, many medical sites say a tilted uterus really does not affect an early pregnancy. However, based on the many stories at the Misdiagnosed Miscarriage , we think it might but only if you allow yourself to be diagnosed with a miscarriage too soon
If you are newly pregnant and have been told you have a tilted uterus, you may not see your baby as early as other women with ultrasound. As a result, a number of women who do have a tilted uterus are misdiagnosed with miscarriage. In fact, many women report their gestational sacs looking empty until nine or ten weeks. While a tilted uterus does not affect the baby in any way, it can affect when the baby is seen.
Keep in mind, if you have a tilted uterus and are diagnosed with possible miscarriage, your chances of miscarrying are the same as everybody else.
Just know that with a tilted uterus, you are more likely than most to be misdiagnosed.
I believe every woman deserves to have no doubt before having her pregnancy ended.

this one:
This is from a girl in the same situation I found on a message board
o fetus, empty sac at 7 weeks- help!
So I found out on April 14th that I was pregnant, I had been reallly tired and had sore breasts- so I took a test that morning. I had an ultrasound the next day because I had no idea how far along I could me. They said that the sac measured 5 weeks 1 day. They could not get a fetal pole. 2 weeks later (April 29th) I did another ultrasound and they said the sac measured 7 weeks, but there was still not a fetal pole or heart rate and saw a "questionable small yolk sac". They also said it could possibly be a "blighted ovum" where the fetus does not develop. I had my HCG levels checked on May 1st and they were 39,000- which I'm not sure what that tells. Now I have to wait until May 9th to get another ultrasound. While I wait I still feel super pregnant (nauseous, tired, sore breasts) but am SO scared that the baby didn't develope and I'll have a miscarriage.
Has anyone had something similar happen? Maybe I'm not as far along as the sac measures? Is there any hope??

This was her update a couple weeks later:
Update: On May 9th I had my 3rd ultrasound. The baby is fine! I have a healthy 9 week old baby with a strong heartbeat. I have a tilted uterus, so maybe that made it hard to see before! If anyone has a similar situation, don't give up hope!!
THERE IS HOPE!!!! But I'm trying to stay realistic
I went to labor and delivery today for more blood work to test my hcg levels. I'll go back in on Monday for the ultrasound.
PRAY!!! I feel confident. My faith is strong that whatever the outcome, I will be ok.
love,
liz
