I went to the doctor last night and had my first ultrasound. According to my calculations I should be about 7 weeks pregnant. The ultrasound showed only the sac but there was no baby inside. The doctor said if i really am 7 weeks there should be more. he said i looked more like 5 weeks. I am scared to death. I went for a blood test today and do another one on monday. and next week i go back for another ultrasound. i cannot sleep and i am just so scared. Has this happened to anyone? is there a chance i am off two weeks on my count?
the waiting is killing me!!!
Re: Scared!!!!!
Try and relax...and enjoy today. Today you are pregnant. And I know saying "don't worry" won't take away your anxiety. But try to think positive thoughts.
after thought.....And remember...odd's are on your side
This! My last pregnancy, I went in and all they saw was a very small maybe-maybe-not yolk sac. I was worried. I cried. I was sure I was further along. I went back a week later to see a strong heartbeat and a healthy little bean! Turns out my dates from LMP were almost a week off, and since he was a surprise I wasn't charting my actual ovulation date. It just took some time.
Don't despair. Wait for your beta levels, and for your next scan. You could just be earlier than you think. FX for you!
This exactly. FX
