First ultrasound

There was one gestational sac in my ute, right where it is supposed to be.  We could see some yolk sac, but no fetal pole and no heart beat.

My RE is still cautiously optimistic.  He said that with IUI, the day I actually O'd could be off by a day or two and that it was still early.  I thought today was 5w6d, but it could be only 5w4d or 5w5d and this early a day makes all the difference in the world.  He ordered another beta and I should get that result this afternoon, since the lab had not picked up the tests for today yet when I left. 

I go back next Thursday for another u/s.  So, not the awesomeness that I was hoping for, but not so bad that I cried, and back to waiting.

ETA:  Thank you for all the well wishes, T&P and support.

Re: First ultrasound

  • Well, that's still better than the possible alternative.  I'll keep sending the baby growing vibes in the direction of your ute in the mean time!

  • Ugh, the waiting must be so tough! I wish you had been able to get more definite information today, but it sounds like you have every reason to be optimistic! I hope the beta results will be encouraging, too! Thinking of you!
  • The wait must be so frustrating. I'm sorry it didn't go as wonderfully as we all had hoped. Like Raynes I'll keep sending positives vibes to you and your baby. Keep us posted!

  • I'm not sure if you saw my reply on GP, but it could be too early to detect the heartbeat. We weren't able to see our LO's h/b until almost 7 weeks, so try not to worry too much. You know you'll be in my T&P's and good luck at your appointment next Thursday.

    I did; thank you so much for shaing that.  It helps the emotional part of me - the logical brain already know that it was too early.

    I totally understand, I was a mess for the week between appointments. No matter what anyone says, it's hard not to worry, but hopefully knowing it was just too early will give you some comfort. (((hugs)))
