1st U/S Yesterday=Confusion and Tears

curlygurl · February 2010

I had my first u/s yesterday at 5 weeks, 6 days. I knew it was early, and had prepared myself for the possibility that we wouldn't be able to see much, including possibly not seeing a heartbeat yet. But nothing could have prepared me for what we did see.

There were 4 sacs. I triggered with 2 mature follies. Obviously this was very unexpected. Based on how the sacs were placed, it *looks* like both follies released and one split into three, although we can't tell for sure at this point.

There was only one sac with a "healthy" looking yolk sac. There was a second sac with "something" that resembled a yolk sac, but the RE nurse said that it didn't look "normal." The other two sacs appeared to be empty. The nurse stated that she feels that it is still too early to call what will happen. She sent me back for another Beta yesterday (at 27dpIUI) and it came back at 34,889 and I will have another one on Sunday. I go back in for another u/s next Wednesday.

Many tears were shed yesterday. It's hard to describe what I'm feeling, but, I'll try. I cried because I know that if all 4 are viable, I will be faced with a horrendous decision. I cried because if any of the 4 are not viable, I feel as if I've had a loss (even though this may not be technically true). And I cried because I'm terrified of losing all of this.

I hope it's OK if I hang around here as all of this gets sorted out. I could use your positive vibes, thoughts, prayers, or whatever else you have to offer. I'll keep you posted...

Oh my, nothing in this journey can be simple! I'm so sorry you are having to endure yet more tears. I will pray that you will only be given what your body can handle. Many hugs to you and I hope you can get a solid answer soon.

I sorry you got some mixed news. It is early for a u/s, though. I am going to keep you in my t+p and hope all turns out perfectly for you. (((hug)))

I'm so sorry your first u/s wasn't what you were expecting. Honestly, at an u/s this early, you just can't know. And I hate that because of it, you are totally upset.

I will keep you in my thoughts.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. My cousin has quads and when she triggered there were only 2 follies, both follies split she has 2 sets of identical twins. She didn't go on bedrest until her 28th week and delivered at 34 weeks.

I'm so sorry you are faced with all of this. Give your body some time to sort out the embryos and figure out what the healthiest option is, I know it sounds crazy but I believe our bodies know exactly what they can handle and they correct things that jeopardize our safety for us.

As hard as it would be to possibly lose one of the embryos in utero, this may be the easiest of your challenges. I hope that things fall into place for you and that the answers become easy.
