Pregnant after a Loss

UPDATE. Will I ever learn?!?

I have my first u/s today. I'm nervous, of course, and anxious to see how things are progressing.

So what did I do? Scheduled an u/s for 3:30 PM. What the heck was I thinking? This is my 5th pregnancy so you'd think I'd know better.

Tick tock tick tock. Hoping I can keep my nerves in check for the next 5 and a half hours.

UPDATE: I had my u/s. It was okay. I was 5w5d by LMP (I wasn't charting so I don't know exactly when I ovulated) and the gestational sac measured 5w4d and was a good shape. I had a large corpus luteum cyst which my OB said was a good sign. The part that has left me uncomfortable and worried is that they didn't see a yolk sac yet or fetal pole. OB seemed unfazed, but PGAL brain is not fun and I'm really worried about a BO now. Two glimmers of hope: I know from past pregnancies that I have an extremely tilted uterus and also the u/s equipment was really old and grainy. It was transvaginal, but the image was really fuzzy compared to other ultrasounds I have. But I still really feel like I should have seen SOMETHING in the gestational sac :(.

Of course, next week I'll be out of town and cannot go in for an u/s. A follow up is scheduled for 5/15 when I'll be 7w5d by LMP. Yet another 2ww...

    I hope it goes well. I was thinking the same thing this morning - I wish my appt was in the morning! But I couldn't swing it. Only 5 more hours now...

    Oh, I'm glad he can be there. My DH is coming too and that really helps. If only we could fastforward, though!!

  • The wait is so hard. I hope time flies by for you. Can you go a little early and stop somewhere fun before like get a yummy treat or walk around a store (anything to pass time)?
  • Waiting is the worst. Sending you lots of good thoughts for a great scan!

    Good luck!! I totally get the waiting too--mine are always afternoon also because dh wants to go and would rather work in the morning than goto work later. I'm just thankful he's with me.

  • Don't give up hope just yet!!! At 5w5d all they saw on my mine was a sac. I don't know how I made it till my next appt at 8weeks. I was convinced it was a BO, but I am now almost 30 weeks with a baby boy!! I know the waiting is so hard, and it's hard to stay positive. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that your next appt shows a cute little baby with a great hb! ((Hugs))

  • Thanks! I'm trying not to go off the deep end. Logically, I know it could easily be fine because prior to 6 weeks ultrasounds are truly a worthless mind f*&$. I had even told myself that I was not going to look for anything beyond a sac in my uterus.

    My OB almost apologized to me yesterday because even though he promised he was no more concerned about me than any other normal pregnant lady, he could tell I was upset.

    I just have to get through the next 13 days and I'll have an answer.

    Your OB isn't worried, and it's early days. It's too bad you have to wait two more weeks to check again, but I hope the time goes by more quickly than you expect. G/L!

    ((Hugs)) I'm sorry you didn't get to see more. My first u/s with DD was at 5w4d (going off O day) and we only saw a sac measuring about 5w. I was totally freaked and was so sure things were not going to end well. We went back at 8w and we had a little gummie bear with a HB who was bouncing all over the place!

    It's still really early and a lot can develop in just a few days. Hang in there! I hope you get to see a little bean with a HB next time!
