Another first u/s post (PGAL)

Well, we had our first u/s this morning after doing early betas two weeks ago which I had hoped would ease my mind a little but it seemed to do just the opposite! Based on my last "period" (which was a c/p last month) I should have been almost 7w today, but the gestational sac was measuring at 6w and the baby at 5w6d. The tech was able to get a hb of 107 which she said was good because they look for it to be over 100.

Now, I had prepared myself for measuring a bit behind based on the fact that I had ovulated late in previous cycles and didn't know when I ovulated this time because I wasn't charting... and I know seeing a heartbeat is a really good thing. I just can't shake my PGAL brain and the fact that based on this dating I would have gotten my first positive pregnancy test at 7 dpo. It was super faint and I was using a FRER, but it just doesn't seem possible! I don't really know what I'm looking for here, just a place to vent my fears I guess. DH keeps insisting everything is fine and that I'm just over analyzing things because of our recent loss. Does anyone have a similar experience of measuring behind and having things turn out just fine? Sorry for rambling, thanks for "listening".

    I do not have a similar experience to share, although I am also PGAL.  However, my thoughts are that LO's can easily measure days ahead or behind.  Don't think of the age of your baby in literal terms.  You could actually be 6wks, but yo

    I know how scared you are... I had a miscarriage last November, so I'm terrified this time around. I went in for my first ultrasound on Monday. Since my last period I was about 7 weeks 3 days, but they measured and the baby was at 6 weeks 1 day. We heard

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement and good thoughts! It's nice to have a place to turn to with other women who have had similar experiences to help calm my fears.

    Aww please try to start calm. I totally know that's easier said than done. You'll be in my thoughts. Fingers crossed that the next u/s is fantastic!

    with my DD I got my BFP around 7 or 8dpo. It was super early. And I was charting/temping. So I'm sure of that.
