@knottie... Mine from about 5.5 weeks looked basically the same and was told the same thing about the heartbeat. They were not at all concerned. I hope that makes you feel a little better.
Ouch those are cruel comments I'm new to this app and I am worried because I had a chemical pregnancy in April of this year I know you can't see much it's too small but they had me do a ultrasound early because of the risk of miscarrying again. Please don't judge badly on someone if you don't know their story. ..i have two living children and one miscarrage
Because I am on progesterone and my doctor can't hear a fetal heart beat yet they see it but can't hear it and they are having me go back in Tuesday next week even they are not sure so I was asking for opinions about what other moms went through at the same amount of weeks to help me be less worried ...if I remember correctly I wasn't trying to ask for a clinical judgement I was asking if any one else had issues like this around 5 weeks.
I know it's small I know it's hard to tell but I've read that progesterone can mask a miscarriage and delay bleeding progesterone can't prevent miscarrage only make it harder for a woman to know she is miscarrying that's why I'm worried that's why I'm on here to get some hopefully good answers instead I receive bad comments, I was asking for opinions and reassurances instead I receive harsh comments that people suggest I am not smart. So can anyone please be serious and help.
Please, if you're truly serious and not just trolling us, go to the ultrasound thread and maybe contribute a little so we can get to know you. I'd also consider changing your username and picture if you're serious about joining the board and being a productive member of our society.
I am not really sure I want to join anymore probably considering deleting this app cause I was hoping for friendlier people but of course what do I expect this world is going down hill full of non considerate people who think everything is a joke
I'm sorry you are feeling worried and scared knottie. However, its pretty early to hear a heartbeat before 6 weeks, so if your doc says he saw it, that sounds like a good sign. We like to get to know each other here, because we are more than a forum, we are a community. Please change your name, because when we see knottie#### we feel like you are just passing by and we don't have a lot of patience for that. Read the read this first section, introduce yourself, and lurk a while. There is a whole thread for ultrasounds, but I stress again, we can support but we cannot give advice. If you lurk a bit and stick around, you will see we are a fun group of ladies.
@jenniferwolfe1 If you had posted this to the Ultrasounds thread (easy to find, it's pinned at the top of the discussions) and shared your story, you would have gotten a lot of support. Instead of checking if there was a thread on your question, you started a brand new one which isn't how The Bump forums work. You also asked for medical advice which isn't allowed and we can't answer. If you asked if anyone else had gone through this - in the correct thread where everyone is already discussing their ultrasounds - you would have had a completely different experience. People tried to point you there and point out that asking medical advice isn't allowed but I'm not sure that's registering with you.
If your doctor didn’t seem concerned, you shouldn’t be concerned. I’m not a doctor or a sonographer, only a mother, but, I’ll play. 5 weeks and 6 days is still early, and already being able to see the heartbeat is great. I would take that to be a good sign for now. Things can always change whether it be in the beginning, halfway through, or during labor and delivery. Any concerns you have, I would suggest you speak to your doctor. This is a really great group of people with so much knowledge and advice, and had you read the “Read Me First” post, introduced yourself on the Intro thread, and then posted your ultrasound and question in the ultrasound thread, you might have had a better response. You get what you give.
It’s stupid to request that everyone who wants to participate respect the way the board is run, so it’s easier for everyone to contribute and interact?
@jenniferwolfe1 you are absolutely asking us for medical advice. And you double posted. I know it’s hard but if you don’t trust what your doctor is telling you then you need a new doctor you trust. None of us can tell you what the outcome of your pregnancy will be. Just because I’m on progesterone and about the same place as you doesn’t mean our outcomes will be the same. Maybe they will be. The only thing you can do is wait and do what your doc advises. Pregnancy is a lot of wait and see.
I'm telling you this honestly....try not to read too much into the U/S picture. The more stress you put yourself through, the more stress the baby goes through. Take your doctor's advice, go for a walk, enjoy time with your two children, and pray...if you do that.
