Am I getting too much in my own head?

Hey ladies. Ever since last week when I had my first U/S showing that I measured 5w2d pregnant instead of the 7w1d pregnant I thought I was (I'll be 6w tomorrow according to this measurement) I have been anxious. They could only see the sac on the U/S and told me to come back in 2 weeks for another U/S. I was pretty bummed that we didn't see a heartbeat like we had hoped. I guess not having that reassurance has made me very anxious and I've even started feeling like I'm not pregnant. I don't know if all of this is just me getting too much into my own head or if my body is really trying to tell me something.

Re: Am I getting too much in my own head?

  • Do you know when you ovulated? I always O a bit late and my pregnancies always get pushed back, including this one.

  • I went in and all we seen was a sack and yolk sac. She said heartbeats and fetal poles usually develop in the 6th week. They don't like to do u/s before 8 weeks for this reason but I was having some pain and they wanted to be sure it was ectopic. I go back in two weeks for another ultrasound.
  • I have no idea when I ovulated, I realize this very well is probably the reason that I am not as far along as thought I was. The only reason I went to my OB was because I thought I was farther along. When I go back for my next U/S I'll be about 7w3d.

  • I think it's totally normal for your brain to backtrack and try and protect you a bit when you don't see what you expect. But if you don't know when you ovulated then it's totally reasonable that you could have been off. I am waiting for my second ultrasound too after not seeing a heartbeat, and the waiting is super painful. FX time passes quickly for you!

  • Same thing happened to me! My first US all they saw was a yolk sac and no heartbeat. I should've been 6w2d at that one and was totally freaking out. Went back 5 days later and the heart was beating away at 155. =)
  • I'm ready for our next ultrasound! Only 10 more days!
