Pregnant after a Loss

7 Week U/S Didn't Go so Well

I'm a big hot mess right now. Had my 7 week u/s to see the heartbeat. My LO was only measuring at 6w1d with a h/b of 88.  I'm trying to not completely melt down, but I'm sitting at work with tears streaming down my face. When I asked the RE what he thought, he said, "I'm okay with your progress. However, you are definitely not out of the woods yet".  How in the hell am I going to be able to wait 7 days for another u/s?!?!?!?

When the nurse called me back with my beta (7678) and progesterone (14.7), she said the doctor didn't flag it as an area of concern.

Anyone has success stories after being in limbo?

    So sorry I missed that @LeslieM0901- I was bumping from my phone earlier!  Grow little one, grow! 
  • Don't give up hope yet. I was given an ultrasound at 6 weeks at the ER due to a car wreck and there was no heartbeat and the tech said she only saw the egg, no fetal pole. They had me thinking for a week that I was going to miscarry this baby. I had a follow up appointment a week later with my dr and my baby was measuring perfectly at 7 weeks with a heart rate of 132. I was in complete shock. I will be praying for you and hoping for a great ultrasound at your next appointment.

  • In the same boat right now. Went in for an ultra sound and should have been 6 weeks 4 days and measuring at 6 weeks 0 days and had a low heartbeat of 87. My doctor didn't seem too concerned and I am just thinking the best. Our little baby probably just started beating its tiny little heart. Good luck to you!

  • I'm all for hope until there isn't any. If you had late implantation or later on ovulation date than the baby's heartbeat just started and is ok. Early u/s are off as much as -/+7 days. Try to keep hope and stay positive. I know easier said than done:( praying for you!

    I'm going to page @CaterinaC to come here, as she also did IVF and had a very ambiguous first ultrasound. She was pretty prepared to miscarry, but I believe all was fine by the next one.

    Sending you big (((hugs))). Ultrasound limbo is awful. I hope your LO was just behind on a growth spurt and that all will be well next week.
