Hi ladies, so glad to back on this board. I had a lot of great support with my previous losses. A little history for you. DS #1 was born in 2008. In 2011 I had a c/p and 2 early losses around 8 weeks , followed by D&C's bc my body would not take care of it on its own. After my 3rd loss I was referred to a maternal fetal specialist who did lots of blood work. It was discovered that I had a lot of anti-inflammatory issues, which was causing blood clots and not letting the babies grow. So his recommendation was extra vitamins, and baby aspirin. And then once I got a BFP I would start on progesterone and heparin shots. Finally in 2012 I gave birth to DS #2. Could not be happier. Love them both so much!
So I found out I was pregnant again and I am now 6 weeks. I started on everything needed as soon as I got a BFP. I had my first ultrasound today and I was crushed a little. My specialist was not concerned at all. He said that he has this every day, people come in at 6 weeks and don't see a fetal pole and a week later there is one with a strong HB. He said I most likely Ovulated later than I thought. Which I wasn't charting, so that could make sense. At my appt we saw a gestational sac and yolk sac that both looked normal. No fetal pole yet. Which is what concerns me. With DS #2 at 6 weeks we saw a fetal pole with a strong HB. So I go back in a week for another ultrasound.
Have any of you ladies ever experienced anything like this? Just really need some encouragement right now. I had the waiting game, it really stresses me out. Hoping to stay on this board and getting know all of you. Thanks for listening. Sorry so windy!
Re: Intro-first u/s today-Nervous!
My first ultrasound was a little before 6 weeks (5 wks 5 days I think) and I also did not see a fetal pole, only a gestational sac and yolk sac. 9 days later the fetal pole and heartbeat were both there
