Pregnant after IF

U/S: What to expect

I meant to call my nurse to ask her this, but she is out today and I don't like the back-up nurse.   What should I expect at my u/s tomorrow?  I will be 5w5d.   I know I should see the sack, but anything else?  I'm just trying to prepare myself.

Re: U/S: What to expect

  • At 5w1d we saw one gestational sac and one yolk sac. At 6w3d we saw two heartbeats. So you'll see something between that :)

  • You'll be looking for a tiny little yolk sac inside the gestational sac.  Here is a pic of mine from 5w3d -- the small "black hole" looking thing in the middle is the gestational sac.  And the tiny little white spot on the bottom right of the sac is the yolk sac.

  • Also, they will be checking to make sure that it's in the right place (i.e., in your uterus and not ectopic).

  • At that point, all we saw was a black hole aka the sac.  But I was measuring behind. 

    There really isn't much to see at that point, but don't freak out if you don't see much.  Next week you will see a lot more.  I'm still amazed that in those first few scans we saw basically nothing (at 6.5 weeks we still had an empty sac) and now here I am 35+ weeks and there's a baby in there! :)  It changes a lot over the next few weeks!

    Enjoy it all!!
