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.
