What an emotional roller coaster!

For those who read my discussion "waiting for a miscarriage," here's an update:

My midwife texted me this afternoon to check on me.  I told her I hadn't started yet (AF) and wanted another US eventually just to confirm everything even though all other signs led to no baby.  She had availability to see me this afternoon and did and US, but she doesn't have a transvaginal probe.  But from the picture on the transabdominal one, my gestational sac grew by 10mm in 1 week.  It still looked empty, but we wanted to look closer so she sent me to get a transvaginal US.  As soon as the probe was in the tech said, "there's your baby!" I couldn't believe it!  There it was!  I saw the heartbeat and everything!  I'm measuring 6w3d, which is what the other US place said I was a week ago.  But this time I could see the yolk sac and apparently you can get a more accurate reading and measure things better.  I knew I ovulated later than usual, but I'm still measuring 10 days later than what my midwife thought going by when I could've conceived and by my hcg and progesterone.  Anyway, THANK YOU everyone for all of the well wishes, thoughts, prayers, hugs, and fx's from my last post. This has been one wild ride and I'm beyond thrilled about my ultrasound today!  That was the most beautiful sight I've ever seen in my life!  My first heartbeat!  <3

Re: What an emotional roller coaster!

  • Yay! That is such a relief! I am still in limbo until next Tuesday, may I ask when your LMP and predicted ovulation was? I moved myself on my app to a week later than LMP because of late ovulation but the transvag even at what would have been 6w3d didn't give more than a yolk sac for me. I'm seeing a lot more often that dr's and clinics are jumping to conclusions too early on with using standard LMP guesstimates.

  • @ShakeUpTampa my LMP was Dec19, so going by that I'm supposed to be over 9w.  But that was my first AF since having a MC (I apparently had only been a couple of weeks along the first time) and had definitely ovulated later.  I usually have longer cycles, 33-36 days, but going by what baby's measuring, I must have ovulated even later, which doesn't surprise me bc of the MC.  But according to my calendar, I should've conceived somewhere around Jan 8-14...I'm thinking maybe I forgot to document another possible day of conception.....idk...I'm measuring far behind what we thought, but there was a heartbeat today at 137 bpm!  Everything else looked great!  So keep up the faith, hope, dreams, good vibes! Last week they measured me at 6w3d, but didn't even see a yolk sac...I was surprised they measured me at 6w3d today, but I did go to a different place and now that you can see the embryo, the measurement is more accurate.  But even at 6w3d, the ultrasonographer said we were lucky to see a heartbeat.  So hold on there girl! I'm praying for good news for you on Thursday!
  • TY @shara1733 it makes it such a battle wondering when we know days we BD and use ovulation sticks and know LMP haha. I love reading good news <3

  • @shara1733 whatttt! That's so wonderful!!! I'm glad you got great news!
    @ShakeUpTampa it's so tricky going by lmp. My dates change between ovulation date vs lmp. I'm wishing the best for you!

  • @feeislove @buttercream_frosting @emwj10187 @jessafishy @lovemaddux thank y'all so much!  I absolutely couldn't believe it when that US tech said I had a baby and everything looked perfect!  Oh it was so great!  <3

    @Mommyamp yes, awful to have backlash.  But I'm PGAL and I understand the emotions you go through when you've had a loss and the last thing you want to hear about is other people being pregnant.  But still, some of the comments were totally unnecessary.  On one hand, they tell you they hope you get your rainbow baby soon, and on the other hand, when you do get pregnant, they can be hateful/jealous, etc.  I'm just trying not to let it get to me.  I really shouldn't let it bother me, but it has been.  I just keep telling myself that my baby is wonderful and the fact that I'm pregnant is too :) Every pregnancy and baby is a miracle, and should be celebrated! :) 
  • Yay what a blessing!!!

  • As I have had a MC before, this made me so happy. When I had mine I felt like people left and right we're popping up pregnant while yes I could say I was jealous I never said a foul word to them I wished them nothing but the best and was genuinely excited for them. I understand it's a sensitive time but I've been there and hurting others doesn't make the hurt in yourself go away. I am so, so happy for you!
  • So happy for you!!! That's a miracle! Praying for your sweet baby right now.

    I think you're misinterpreting the situation. They weren't foul, they just asked her to add a TW. A few others chimed in and said that they were having a rough day and it hurt them to read it without a TW but that was it.

    Then she came here and said they gave her "negative backlash" when really all they did was ask her to follow the understood rules of respect of the community she chose to be apart of.

    I can understand both sides, but I definitely feel for the TTCAL community on this one. If it was me I would've just admitted I should've used a TW and moved on from the situation.
  • Ah, I see. Well hopefully both sides can move past it all and be happy for one another. I can admit I probabaly posted something in the past and forgot to do a TW

    Agreed, I'm sure I have as well! I don't believe they actually had an issue with anything that was posted, just wished it had a TW. From what I understand, she quickly edited the post which TTCAL respected, but then when they came across this thread it ruffled some feathers.
