Talk me off the ledge

TheGregory's07

I am so scared, all of a sudden. That when I go in for my u/s something will be wrong. I am not sure of when I o'd so I am not really sure how far along I am. I know that when I go I will be less then when LMP (nov. 7). Now for a vent about U/S they say they go off your lmp but then you go in and then they Tell you your baby is measuring two weeks less and freak you out, change your due date. (This all happened with Ian.) And because I have now had a loss I know they will say something negative. I am so sorry that I am so rambly, I just got scared all of a sudden. 

 

For those that want to know first appt is 1/5, I had a chance to go this week but if something was wrong I didn't think I could handle it. Now I want to call and see if they can squeeze me in. If you made it through all of this you deserve a

*hugs* Definitely call if it will make you feel better.

I was a week behind my LMP due date at my 1st u/s. It was really hard to hear at the time, but now I don't even think of it.

((Hugs)), I was on the ledge last night.  You know my EDD is the same as yours, but I'm pretty sure I O'ed around Day 18.  Same thing happened with my DD too- I O'ed around Day 21, and I think she measured 5 or 6 days "behind" on my u/s, but I made sure to tell the tech and my OB that I knew I O'ed late.

Would you be able to see anything if they fit you in this week?  I also could have gone in this week, but I didn't want to because I wanted to be sure they could find a heartbeat.  According to my LMP, I'm 6 weeks, 2 days today, but according to O date I'm only 5 weeks, 5 days.  I thought that might be a little too early to see a heartbeat, so that's why I scheduled mine for after Christmas.  But maybe they can fit you in a little earlier than 1/5.

I completely understand your panic, I think we all have felt/continue to feel that way. 

I waited until 8 weeks for my first u/s, even though they told me I could come in at 6.  I just needed to be sure that there was no chance of getting equivocal answers.  It was the best thing for my sanity, even though the waiting was complete torture. 

Try to keep yourself busy. The time will fly by, especially with Chirstmas coming up.  You can do it!

I totally understand. I don't know if you've been following my posts but I measured a week small at my first u/s, a few days small at the second, and today, I was measuring AHEAD (all based on LMP). These past few weeks have been terrible and I could have saved myself a lot of worry if I had my first u/s this week. I wouldn't have even known about measuring small. Granted I am glad I did, because it still keeps my expectations in check, but a "normal" person probably would have been better off without the early scans.

((HUGS)) I would call if I were you.

Deeep breath I really think we will spend our entire 40 weeks worrying, but the chances of having something to worry about are so much smaller than we believe.  Big (((HUGS))) and just try to relax and enjoy the holidays. Leave the worrying til later.
