First Ultra Sound today...
in GP Moms
Today was my first ultra sound. I am 6 weeks exactly today. He said he saw a sac and yolk sac. We did not see a heartbeat yet. RE reassured me that he thinks everything is fine. He said there is definitely a pregnancy in the uterus. He wants me to go back on Wednesday and he says he suspects he will see a heartbeat then. He said because of my belly fat it might take a little longer to see things. :-/
TTC for 18 months. IUI #1 BFP= EDD 5/23/14. Progesterone Suppositories and Levothyroxine started. First U/S 9/27

Totally normal not to see the HB at 6 weeks. Yay for good positioning though!
I'm also surprised they didn't do a t/v at 6w.

I'm with bobcee, was this not a transvaginal ultrasound? I went at 6 weeks this time, had an internal ultrasound and with some squinting Dr. and DH said they saw a heartbeat. I didn't see it. Went back a week later and it was clear as day.
Glad you have a healthy baby in there though!
BFP #5: 3/25/2015: EDD: 12/8/2015.

I am sorry that he said that. That was very rude and uncalled for!!

@jadoreshn I hope you were able to take the information panderp was giving in a positive way. At least now you have the facts, but I still think it was unnecessary for your doctor to bring it up since they were able to see your healthy baby just fine. I hope your next ultrasound shows a strong heartbeat and results in a less (negatively) emotional visit.
Also, vaganus.

He said he's sure everything is fine and that it sometimes takes longer to see things when there is extra fat. It's no secret in over weight. As long as at some point we are able to see that this little one is growing and doing they need I do is all I'm truly concerned about.
Am I disappointed that we didn't see a hb? Absolutely. But I know it's still early.
Do I wish I didn't have this extra weight? Absolutely. But I did lose a significant amount and RE has been very satisfied with the loss or else he wouldn't have let us move forward to IUI. He had no hesitation like he had in the past. Other than my weight in healthy and I'm doing the best I can at being as healthy as I can.
Sorry if people were upset by this tread. I'm sure it wasn't anyone's intention. My panties aren't in a bunch. I'm lookin forward to the next ultra sound.
:-)
Because if you mean doctor, "belly fat" is a common lay men's term for visceral fat. Visceral fat is the fat that all of us have that lie around our organs within the abdominal cavity . This would certainly block sound waves even with TV U/s. It is not poor bedside manner, it's what it's called.
If you mean panda, that's just how she rolls. And she's not at your bedside....that I know of...I'm sure it didn't offend op to learn science
Hope my replay of what the derp said helps you to actually understand belly fat . And that just because you didn't know it was a thing, doesn't make it not a thing.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
Calm the frick down people! It's just the Internet!
