AW-We have a heartbeat!

in Pregnant after a Loss
I called to reschedule my ultrasound because my husband won't be able to attend with me next week and rather than wait an additional week, the nurse asked me to come in today.  I was super nervous but decided might as well do this now. I'm sure glad i did!  We saw an embryo with a heartbeat of 182 thumping away measuring exactly 6w.  I guess I'm now only 4 days behind rather than 6.  My mind feels at ease and I can finally relax (just a little).  My husband made me promise I would not take another pregnancy test or refer to Dr. Google for the remainder of my pregnancy.  I know this won't be the end of the fearful road and I'll never stop being afraid, but this is a good start for me.  

FWIW-I don't see how I could get a 2-3 on a CB weeks estimator and see a heartbeat.  I'll never use those again.

    Great news! MH has lectured me about dr google as well. I know he's right, but it's hard.

    As for the pregnancy test, there's a thing called The Hook Effect. Basically your hcg levels are too high for the test to work properly, giving you a lighter line (or causing the wks estimator to be off in your case). Look it up, it's pretty interesting.

    Congrats on seeing a heartbeat!

    Thank you all!  It definitely is an exciting time and I'm sure the fear won't go away, but I hope and pray that all of us will have more joyous times rather than fearful times.

    @ashris13 @belle3184-Dr. Google is the culprit of a lot of my worries.  There are so many doomsday scenarios about every illness or symptoms.  It'll be hard to stay away but I know I need to for my own sanity.

    @KMW08-I have never heard of the Hook Effect.  I'll need to look that up.  Those tests literally almost drove me into a panic attack.
