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...
Re: 1st U/S Yesterday=Confusion and Tears
that's a lot to handle, so may different ways this could go.
Hang in there, I hope this all works out for the best.

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'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.
This says it well. My thoughts are with you and your little ones.
I wish you peace as your wait for news, wisdom as your process it, and comfort.
Wow, I can't imagine what you must feel like. What an incredible shock!
Sending you T&P that everything will work out for the best. THinking of you hon!
