A huge sigh of relief RE: spotting and u/s

I haven't posted too much on the boards because I was spotting (brown-pink-red once) for over a week and worried that I lost the pregnancy especially when my u/s last Monday didn't show a heartbeat.  Turns out my prayers were answered and there was a wonderful little heartbeat this morning. 

The first u/s I was suppose to be 6w0d had shown a sac but that was it, stated that I was 5w4d (a day after the spotting started).  They told me not to worry, stay on pelvic rest, and come back for an u/s 7-10 days.  Well my u/s was today, I told the tech why I was there.  She tried the abdominal (said it never hurts to try) and as soon as she put the transducer on she said oh you are definitely bigger than 5 weeks, I basically started crying then.  The Dildo-cam was next and as soon as she got it into place she's like "oh right there's the heartbeat but let me check your ovaries first".  Then she zoomed back to the little jelly bean and I got to see and hear that glorious little beat.  She did say that I'm measuring 6w3d instead of 7w0d so they may change my due date. 

I just wanted to give hope to those that may be spotting and thinking the worst case scenario. 

Sorry no paragraphs, bumping from my phone.

  • Thanks ladies!  I just want to shout it to everyone but of course we are waiting a while before telling people especially since the spotting started.  I'm thankful we have a board to tell our good news on.

  • Thanks so much for sharing! I too had spotting last week and went in for an ultrasound at 5 weeks 2 days and there was just an empty sac. My RE said he wasn't concerned because I was so early but of course it freaked me out. I've been on bedrest since last week and my next ultrasound is Thursday. The bleeding has stopped so I'm praying for the best but prepping for the worst. Your story gives me some hope!!
