My 1st U/S today just made me more nervous!

favoriteblessings · October 2012

I am 6w6d and went for my first transvaginal u/s today. This is my third, so it caught me off guard when the Dr couldn't find a HB today and I was sent home empty handed (no picture). It was really hard for me to see anything except the sac but my DR. said it was probably due to my c-section scarring and he ordered a follow up u/s for next week. In the meantime, I am getting my hormone levels tested for the next 48 hrs. I'm sick to my stomach but not sure if it's m/s or stress! I need some good news!

That's scary. Any chance you're earlier than you think?

Did you measure 6w6d?

Perhaps you O'd later than you think and it's too early on for a HB?

The first time I went in, all we saw was an empty sac. 9 days later we were in for our second and we saw a healthy HB. It's amazing what a few days can do.

It is likely too early, but I'm sorry you're stressed about it.

I understand how scary it can be. My FX for you!

Dr. did say that it's possible that I could have ovulated a little later but I know for sure my first day of last period is correct so I can't be too far off. He didn't do measurements either. With my last two, I was 7 1/2 & 8 weeks pregnant when I went for first time so a couple more days would probably have spared me this stress. I'll have an update on Thursday!

I think it's just too early.

It's very possible that its just too early. I went to my first u/s thinking I was 8 weeks and fully expecting to hear that little heart beating. I left measuring only 5 weeks and barely saw a little bean. Sometimes our dates are off and everything is perfectly normal! hugs

I completely understand your paranoia. My u/s today (at 6wks) only showed a sac and a yolk sac, no baby no HB. I, too, go in for another u/s in 1 week. I keep trying to remind myself that everybody and every baby is different and things progress a little differently, especially this early on. Let's just pray our next visit brings us some relief. I WISH my Doc would have ordered me more blood draws, but they seem to think everything is looking good so far so no reason.

How scary! Good luck and keep us updated!

I'm right there with you. I had the same experience on Monday. I was supposed to be 6w1d and they were only able to visualize the sac, no yolk, no heartbeat. I'm scheduled for my next ultrasound on Friday - he assured me 4 days would be enough time to see something, if there's anything to see. It's so hard to stay positive, but we have to! Good luck, keep us updated!

****update***

went for 2nd u/s today. Tried transvaginal & didn't work so we saw it better on abdominal ultrasound. Dr was able to get hb of 120 but baby was measuring 6w3d and not 7w6d ( calculation by my first day of my lmp date). I'm assuming I ovulated later and that is the reason for the 1 1/2 week difference? Calculating this stuff really confuses me so I looked up my ovulation calendar and according to it, I could have ovulated as late as Sept. 20 and my pregnancy test was positive on Sept. 29th. Dr. does not seemed concerned, and I definately feel pregnant w/ experiencing every symptom mentioned on this board. lol. Thank you ladies for listening to my thought process. To conclude, I'm not as far along as I thought. I get a follow up u/s in two weeks, and I think that is when I will tell my family the good news.
