supposed to be 8w. Measured 6w2d. Waiting to get bloodwork done now and going again Monday to see if my pregnancy hormone doubles or goes down. Saw a heartbeat so trying to stay positive, but I just want to melt! Please pray!
My ultrasound put me almost a week behind where I thought I was, so I wouldn't worry just yet! Especially since you saw a heartbeat. Try and stay positive, even though it's hard!
Then that sounds promising! Think about it- if you ovulated a few days later than you assumed (and the average 28 day cycle pretty much doesn't apply to most women, so there's a very good chance you did) and then it took 10 days to implant - you very well could be that far off in your dates.
I measured 10 days later than what I though as well. So I know how you feel, it was kind of a slap in the face to hear your only 6 w 4 d instead of 8, but we heard the heartbeat so we are staying positive! I have read that it is very common. I follow up with my obgyn on Monday so I am interested to see what she says.
When I went for my first us I thought I was 8w but the baby only measured 6w. My dates were just off and I ovulated late. They saw a perfect heartbeat and everything has been fine. Don't worry. Praying for calming thoughts for you.
My first ultrasound put me 5 weeks behind! Talk about a panic attack. I have irregular periods so when I went in for my first appointment they just based how far along I was off my lmp. At my second ultrasound we saw Baby growing perfectly with a heartbeat. My dates were just WAY off. Best of luck!
I went in for my 9 wk appointment turns out baby is only 7w5d. We saw the heartbeat so that was a great sign. I go back in two weeks to make sure the baby grew. I was on bc for 10 years and got preggo with in the 2nd mo so my ovulation might be wayyy off.
I have the same issue! Went in for my ultrasound today and I was told I'm measuring at 6ws instead of 8. Going back in on April 20th. Also saw a heartbeat but didn't get the heart rate. My OB said this is common for women who just get off the pill and get pregnant.
I hope you get good news soon! It could be that your dates are off, like other posters suggested. We thought I was 11w when I went in for my first US, but it turned out I was only 8w! Put me in a whole different birth month.
This gives me hope! LMP put me at 7w1d but baby only measured 5w6d, couldnt see any baby, just a yolk sac. I go back on the 20th...in the mean time Im scared
Hate to be negative, but I had the same experience this past summer and it didn't turn out well for me. I measured behind about a week and a half but saw a heart beat at what the doctor said was 6 weeks. Not knowing it was bad to be measuring behind, I thought I was safe because of the heartbeat. I was absolutely devastated two weeks later at my 8 week ultrasound when they couldn't find a heartbeat and told me that I'd had a missed miscarriage at 7 weeks. I insisted on testing of the tissue from the D&C despite being told it wasn't necessary since it was my first pregnancy. So glad I did because I got some closure. Baby girl had severe form of Downs and Doctor said she likely had a congenital heart defect that would have eventually been fatal -- likely at birth. So, as awful as it was, it was a blessing in disguise.
I sincerely hope things go well for you! Will keep you in thoughts!
I'm glad I found this thread. I went in this week and thought I was 7w5. Measurement was 6w3 but with heart beat of 124. Happy about the HB but worried about the dating - normally I'd assume I ovulated late, but was on a business trip during "fertile window" and given the timing, that would mean sperm stuck around for like, a week!! Anyway, fingers crossed for next appt in a week and a half. Thanks everyone for sharing their stories.
