Can you please post your successful pregnancy ultrasounds that showed a yolk sac? When I was pregnant with my son, I did not see it on the ultrasound. I have had a loss with an enlarged yolk sac. I recently became pregnant after my 3rd consecutive loss. After a lot of reassurance from my OB who stated the current yolk sac is of a normal size, I want to see other ultrasounds that showed the yolk sac. Next ultrasound is in 14 days.
I don't have a pic but mine at 8.5 weeks had a yolk sac. Are you concerned about the size or the fact that there's a yolk sac on u/s? If it's the former, my post is useless to you.
My doctor said everything looks good but after so many losses, I still worry. I guess I'm just concerned. I am roughly 8 weeks. Maybe 8w2d by measurements. This is a picture of the ultrasound. Baby has 167bpm.
I am not a professional at all, but the measurements and the heartbeat sound very promising, and the sono looks good, too! Hopefully you'll get your Rainbow!! But gee, I know the wait till that next ultrasound will be extremely difficult. Hang in there!

I know it's always hard to wait until the next us or checkup. I'm 16 weeks and still get a tad nervous until I go to the dr and either see or hear my baby girls hb. Hang in there!
I just heard my baby's heartbeat this morning!! I'm 7w0d based on my LMP and its 114bpm which the RE said seemed slightly slow but maybe the ovulation was a little later. Googling sounds like 114 is fine... Here's my pic!

I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.
July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal
DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes. Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube. If that doesn't help then move to IVF.
Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help. Doubts I have endometriosis. My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!)
