Possible loss (TW)

hi ladies, I have not introduced myself yet because I was being cautious until we got in and saw a heartbeat and it felt more real.
Well I had my first appointment on Monday and they did a TV US with the ones they just bring into the room and I measures 5w6d which was very possible and dr was not worried but said why don't you come back in a few days and we should be able to see a heartbeat.
so I went back yesterday (Thursday) and they sent me to the higher def machine and there I again measured 5w6d, there is a fetal pole, and the dr said it had grown and the gestational sac has grown but obviously not as much as we would have expected. So now I have an appointment next Thursday to see if there is any growth. My dr said she's "cautiously optimistic", and I am not completely are about my ovulation date so being 5w6d on Thursday matches up with the week I think I ovulated, but I obviously know the small amount of growth is a concern. 
I just hate being in limbo, and I am wondering if anyone had any experience like this? I have had no bleeding or cramping, and very little symptoms, but I also had very little symptoms with both of my other kids. 
Many insight anyone has I would greatly appreciate!

  • I'm so sorry your in limbo. I know how long these next few days can feel so try and stay busy and cautiously optimistic. With your week estimate being so early I would try not to stress it just yet. Sending you many comforting T&Ps.

    Try to stay positive over the next week if you can.  Sending good vibes your way.
  • I'm so sorry you're going through this.  Thinking of you!
  • I'm sorry. I went through something very similar with my baby being at about the same point, but I was supposed to be 8 weeks. It didn't end well for me but I hope it does for you. The limbo is terrible. My doctor was very straightforward but still said there are times that he was sure that the pregnancy was not going to be viable, only to be very surprised at the next appointment.

  • Thank you for all your replies, I am just blown away by the support I have gotten here. I called today and asked for hcg labs for today and Monday (something to keep me busy between now and Thursday) and the dr said ok. Got them drawn today but I won't get results till Monday. Hopefully they are increasing appropriately

  • I know how this feels, its nice to have support. Just try to keep busy and hope for the best. Ill be sending good vibes your way.
  • I'm in a similar spot.  Nothing about my pregnancy so far has seemed textbook normal.  I have had several US.  My last one we could see the HB but it was hard for them to measure & my dating is behind based on what they could measure (know when I ovulated it was confirmed via US).  My RE seemed optimistic for me,  but I have another several days of limbo until my next check on Friday. 

    FX for a goos outcome for you!  I know how you are feeling & it stinks.  Sucks the joy out of being pregnant.

  • I am in a similar boat. Had my first US today, the baby had a heartbeat and i measured at exactly 6 weeks. Scary thing is that based off my last period, i should be measuring at exactly 8 weeks. I could have ovulated later than than "text book"; which would explain the dates/measurements being off. My dr. Didnt seem concerned yet, but has me doing the 48 hour blood work routine to see if my numbers go up. Limbo'ing sucks. Let's stay positive! 
  • @mattanda2011 how did your labs go?
