**TW** I'm out

Update - I'm out, thank you all for being so friendly and supportive while I was here. I hope you all have healthy pregnancies.
There had been no fetal growth and still no heart beat. I started cramping and getting lower back pain yesterday too. Good bye for now.
*******************
I don't even know what to say. I just came home from my first u/s. My baby was measuring at 6 wks 2 days. I should be 8 wks 4 days.
They couldn't find a heart beat.
The u/s tech and CNM tried to reassure me by saying that it is possible I ovulated later than I thought and that I really am only 6 wks along, and that the heartbeat just isn't visible yet. They did a blood draw to check my HCG, blood type, and I think progesterone. (I wasn't really listening by the end). I'll have those lab results tomorrow. I get more bloodwork done on Friday to check the HCG. They are doing the bloodtype because I don't know mine and they said that could be a factor (would that be the Rh +/- ?). I have a follow up u/s on Monday to see if there are any visible changes in position/size or a heartbeat.
If the pregnancy isn't viable, they will give me another week to try to miscarry naturally.
I don't ever skip periods and they are fairly regular (cycle length between 25-33 days with 29 being my average). I've been tracking that on paper for nearly 5 years, so I know how long my cycles are, but I don't track ovulation. IF I did ovulate late, I don't see how I could have gotten my BFPs on 9/9 and 9/10 like I did. One of them was in the afternoon and all 3 were strong lines. If I'm really 6 wks 2 days now, backtracking to 9/9 would make me 2 wks 4 days, and that doesn't even make sense to me.
I'm just waiting. My parents should all be receiving the announcement letters today (in fact my sister just texted me), and I just can't talk to them right now. I don't know how to pretend nothing is wrong, but I don't want to involve them in my follow up appointments because I don't want to answer their questions.

I know I should focus on my class readings, but my mind keeps wandering. I called the clinic and left a message for them to please let me know when my lab results are in. One of my friends is going to come up and keep me company this weekend (I told her about everything). That doesn't help me right now though.
I'll update here when I find out more and what the final verdict is on Monday.
