Hi!
I had my very first ultrasound today. What I was hoping would be a very happy experience turned really scary really quick. I had my first positive HPT on 12/15. I had blood work done on 12/17. My HCG levels came back at 98. Unfortunately my LMP stated on 10/8, so that isn't the best judge of how far along I am. I am really nervous. The Doctor told me either I am not as far along as they thought or we lost the baby. I had to have blood work done today and then again on Wednesday. I will get today's results tomorrow but will have to wait until Friday for Wedneswday's due to the holiday. I am not really sure what to think right now. Has anyone else ever been through this?
Re: First Ultrasound - Only a Gestational Sac.
I have irregular cycles myself, and my dates were off by two weeks, so this very well could be your case as well. I'm hoping so!
It is hard not to worry, but I am certainly trying not to.

Good luck
My doctor's office finally called back. My HCG levels rose appropriately. Thank goodness! Now we have to wait until Monday to either see Jelly Bean's heartbeat, or at least make sure the gestational sac is growing properly. I know we are not completely out of the woods, and I will feel much better when we do hear the heartbeat, but I have calmed down quite a bit.
Thank you again for the support. This is our first baby and the doctor I saw on Monday was too honest. She could have lied a little, or looked at my HCG levels on 12/17 and put two and two together that the dates may be wrong. Thankfully she is not my doctor.
