Doctor concerned about growth after ultrasound

kellydares · November 2018

I am 7 weeks 2 days and had IVF, so I'm still under the care of the fertility clinic. They do ultrasounds once a week right now. Last week, we had a super clear picture and a heartbeat of 120. This week (a different tech) had a really hard time getting a clear picture, but did measure the heartbeat at 144. However, the babe only measured at 6w4d which is only one day more than last week. My husband and I think it was because she couldn't get a clear image, but the doctor is concerned after reviewing. I'm a mess. I have to call tomorrow to schedule another ultrasound for this week to see if it's a baby problem or an ultrasound problem. Has anyone else had a different tech measure differently/not clearly?

Anything within 5 days at that stage is ok, according to my OB.

Thanks, Marijaa333. I hope it's okay.

I have no advice, but hope everything is okay. And have also heard the same that it can be up to 5 days off since they can be harder to measure that early .
