1st visit disappointment **UPDATE**: Patience is virtue!

Based on my period I should be 7 weeks pregnant, but I have irregular periods that usually run longer, so I figured more like 6 weeks. On the ultrasound today, he said it looked more like a 4-5 week pregnant ultrasound. He said it was a perfect circle and everything, but because it doesn't line up with my dates he's concerned it may not be viable. I don't know how it could only be 4-5 weeks if the last time we had sex was August 16th. I'm going back next week for another, and he should be able to tell me viability based on growth. He also took my blood for a progesterone check. I really don't know how to feel right now. I want to be optimistic, but I just don't see how it's possible that it's a healthy pregnancy.

UPDATE: Just got back from our second ultrasound after waiting a long, long week. Heard a strong heart beat, and the little booger grew as it needed over the past week. I finally have a due date - May 17th! Wahoooooo! Pour the champagne! I mean...wait...the La Croix.

    I lost a baby also. Just know that there is nothing you did wrong or can do. Many times it's due to the cells not working properly but until you know don't stress yourself out. Rest and take care of yourself! Hugs! I wish you the best!

    I don't understand. It's a perfect diamond ring, and there are plenty of 6 week diamond ring ultrasounds on Google. Do I have a worst case scenario doctor? This is going to be the longest week of my life.

    Perhaps he is going off of labs? I have to take progesterone supplements. Maybe he is being overly cautious.

    ::hugs:: I'm sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Hopefully your doctor is just overly cautious. It is possible to be right around 6 weeks and not be able to see a baby on the ultrasound yet.

    Your post stuck out to me because I also have gone through a bit of a scare. According to my LMP, I'm 6 weeks. I had some spotting and cramping and in a state of exhaustion panicked on Saturday night. After speaking with my Dr. I decided to take a trip to the ER. Bloodwork showed my HCG levels at 9800 but the sonogram only showed an empty sac. Basically, I left with no clear answers and was more of a wreck. Monday, I went to see my Dr. and she did a sonogram. Still, saw nothing and gave me the whole "this might not be the right pregnancy for you, you didn't do anything" etc. She sent me for repeat bloodwork on Tuesday and was due back in today. I thought I lost the pregnancy. My symptoms have subsided a bit and I just wasn't optimistic. My anxiety all stemmed from not knowing anything definite. I just wanted to know! Well, I went in today and the second the sonogram tech started, I saw something in the gestational sac! There it was! A tiny little embryo AND a heartbeat. It was a real WOW moment. Now, the Dr. and tech both said this was way better than they anticipated because my bloodwork wasn't great. They started me on progesterone because my levels are low. They also said that my HCG levels weren't great but didn't get into details and don't want me to go for more bloodwork. Knowing that the HCG range is so wide and the fact they don't want me to continue to go for bloodwork, I am trying not to focus on those numbers and focus on seeing the proof with my 2 eyes. They were still a little concerned but told me to be "cautiously optimistic". I will go back in 2 weeks to see. I am hoping to stay calm because the past 5 days have been awful!

    So, sorry for my rant, I just thought maybe hearing a hopeful story would help. I know I am not out of the woods but from tons of reading, I am sure strangers things have happened. I feel like it's important for your mental and physical sanity to try and think positive thoughts but be realistic as well. Sending positive vibes and hope you get great outcomes!

    YAY! This happened to me too - thought I was 6-7 weeks, I saw my OB and there was nothing there. Maybe a slightly thicker lining. We were terrified... Thankfully according to our HCG levels our OB estimated us at 3 1/2 weeks. Zoom forward to today, when I was supposed to be 5w2d, we were expecting the worst and ended up seeing our little dumpling and the heartbeat!!! We measured at 6w2d so we have the same EDD!!

    Best of luck to both of us, my next appointment is 2 weeks from now and I'll be 8w3d. So excited now :)
