Pregnant after IF

XP: 1st U/S Prayers Needed

Hi there - I had my u/s this morning at 6w2d and I'm having very mixed emotions. For those who remember we transferred 2 great 5 day blasts. I have been gaining a belly quickly and my intuition was sure that they both snuggled in. Well, I was right. Today we saw 2 sacs...and then we saw 3. Apparently, one split. The dr looked concerned. We successfully found a hb in the first sac. The second and third sacs, the yolk sacs were questionable. The first 2 sacs looked about the same size where the third was a bit smaller.

I don't want to be ungrateful for one healthy heartbeat. I'm so happy about that, but i can't help but feel like I'm losing 2 babies right now. I love them so much and can't believe how much love and attachment I felt for even the third that I would never ever have guessed was there. The nurse said it is not uncommon to come back for a second or third ultrasound and find more healthy babies/heartbeats.

Please pray that these babies grow. I don't want to lose any of them.  I can honestly say, I did not want triplets but that egg split for a reason. I know its early and I don't want to be selfish but I just can't help feeling so confused. I thought today would bring about happy answers, not more questions. Thanks for listening and for those of you who pray, please pray for us.

Re: XP: 1st U/S Prayers Needed

  • Hi there!  I actually know exactly how you are feeling!  My first u/s showed two sacs, one bigger than the other.  The second one was so small they weren't sure if there was a yolk in it or not so we had to wait to see it in the next u/s whether it grew or not.  Second u/s was today and I saw the second sac again but it was confirmed that there was nothing in it.  So it was a bitter sweet apt for me today too.  I have one very healthy baby and heard a loud beautiful heartbeat and saw the flicker today!  But you still can't help but feel sad that you lost an embryo that you didn't get to give a chance at life.  I'm sure it will take a few days to mourn and then you'll begin to focuss on the excitement of the healthy baby that is there and growing!  Thoughts and prayers are with you and I wish you luck at your next apt!

  • Thank you so much for all the kind words. I'm feeling a little better today. I've decided to stay positive the best I can until the u/s next Friday, 8/2. I'm hoping that maybe the other one or two were late implanters or that we just couldn't get a good angle with everyone in there. If not, I should know next week and at leasthave a definitive answer. I'm praying for all three as well as if two are not going to make it, that at the least, my one little bean is still progressing.

    Miracles happen everyday.
