Hi,
I had my first ultrasound today, at 8 weeks 1 day. I'm pretty sure of my dates, as I was using an OPK and keeping track of periods. (LMP day 1 on Christmas, due date October 1). There was no heartbeat and baby was only measuring 6 weeks. I have been spotting today, but today was the first time I was spotting and it wasn't too heavy... light brown.
Any chance this is anything other than a miscarriage? The doc said I just have to wait and see. I feel like 2 weeks off would be a lot at this point. She scheduled another ultrasound for next Thursday but that's a long time to wait. Anyone have experience with this? Would I get more responses if I posted this somewhere other than first tri? I don't mean to be a downer but my DH and I only know so much and I need opinions. I'm going crazy over here.

Re: Ultrasound today -- Not good???
I didn't know that OPKs could be positive without ovluation. My first positives were January 20 (took a few tests, of course!)

PgAL and PAL always welcome...With your positive pregnancy test being so early, it seems like you should be a little further along. I will keep my fingers crossed for you! If there is one thing I've learned in all of my time lurking and participating on the bump, it's that crazy things have happened. GL, soxfan!

I am going to share my story and it will hopefully give you some hope:
1st US: 7 weeks according to LMP-baby measured 5w6d couldn't detect heartbeat
2nd US 2 weeks later: baby measured at 6w 5d with strong heartbeat (only grew 6 days worth in 2 weeks!!)
3rd US 6 days later: baby measured at 7w4d with 140 bpm (grew correct amount)
4th US: baby should've been 9w5d based on last measurements, measured at 10w4d!!
It appears our bean is catching up, and my doctor has now officially admitted that she might not have gotten accurate measurements in the early stages as being off by 1mm can mean a whole week off!!!
Good luck and I hope this gives you some hope! And stay off of google!!!!!
