I will only be 5 wks 2 days, so I don't know how much we'll see but my hcg is high enough that I understand there should be a sac. Please, ladies, stop me from googling whether or not serial ultrasounds in early pregnancy are safe. Ugh. Too much to worry about! Praying for a pregnancy that's in the uterus where it should be and a bean that is developing on schedule!

*Ticker/Siggy Warning*

Me: 37 DH: 38 TTC since 2011 DH normal Dx: DOR (AFC ranges from 6-11; AMH 0.16; FSH 11.9; E2 45) 11/13: 1st IVF converted to IUI due to poor response to high dose antagonist protocol (only 3 follies) = BFN 12/13: IUI #2 letrozole + Bravelle = BFP, beta #1 156, beta #2 196 (diff. lab), beta #3 1037; 1st ultrasound @ 5 wks 1 day = 6 mm gest sac; 2nd ultrasound 6 wks 1 day = tiny flickering heartbeat; 3rd ultrasound 7 wks 1 day 10.3 mm embie growing away!

  • Good luck tomorrow! Just go in there knowing you may not see a baby yet and everything will be great! Good luck!

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

    Baby Dust To All!!!

  • Good luck! I had an early one as well around week 5, it was pretty awesome :)
  • Good luck! As long as you go in knowing that you are just looking for a sac and you will be fine. Don't worry about the multiple early u/s either. There are plenty of women on this board and the success board that had them and they are just fine. If they weren't, your re wouldn't do them because it would harm their chance of success. REs define success as a successful delivery, not just getting a positive hpt. FX!

  • @ThoseThreeWords, it's bright red blood with a few tiny clots. So scary. It's less than I had when I bled on New Year's Eve, but more than a panty liner can handle. I'm so over it!

  • Hmmm maybe you have an SCH that they didn't see for whatever reason and the u/s disturbed it and caused the bleeding.  But glad all is well otherwise! :-)  I know how scary those stinkin' bleeds can be, mine was around 5w, as well.

  • Thanks everyone- the bleeding seems to be fading to brown. Maybe it's resolving? I never dreamed being PAIF would be more stressful than IF! Ugh. Keep sending your positive thoughts and prayers to this bean!
