I unfortunately do not have an image to contribute but I thought this was the best place to ask a question about the first ultrasound. These (awesome) ultrasound image you ladies are sharing, are they trans vaginal? I had my first appointment today, and they did not have that equipment in the office. She did a regular ultrasound, but seemed to even have trouble finding my uterus (pretty dang sure I have one of those) I have PCOS, so that can contribute to a difficult ultrasound, but knowing it was still early on, very confused why she would try with what she had. I have another elsewhere transvaginally in a week, but she wouldnt even order the bloodwork until after that. I'm confused, concerned, scared and frustrated. Any input would be appreciated. Love those pictures ladies.
It’s very difficult to see anything this early via a transabdominal ultrasound. Most OBs I know wouldn’t even try abdominal at this stage, they go straight to transvaginal. Sorry for the added stress! I hope this week flies by and you have a great ultrasound next week ❤️

@limeferret I had mine done at an imaging center. They did abdominal and TV. Maybe their equipment in the office isn’t as high tech? That’s the case at my dr’s office
I am assuming the equipment is not very high tech. But I am so concerned that she declined to even order the bloodwork until after the next scan. I called the office back in the Hope's that I could at least get a hcg blood test to see if my numbers were on target ( I had a blood test 2 weeks ago) but she said no (receptionist related this to me.) Maybe I'm being paranoid. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. But I'm so worried.
Thank you all for your responses. It means so much having others to talk to in this community.
Dating US (abdominal) taken on Monday which showed the baby measuring at 6w6d (2 days earlier than LMP calculation). Heart beat was 139. EDD is now October 15th.
5w5d showing 2 sacs but 1 is empty. Anyone have experience with this? I've heard about vanishing twin syndrome but would love to hear personal experiences..
My DPs father is a twin and his father's twin passed away a day before our BFP. Crazy how the universe works..
Well we had a spotting scare that had me really panicking yesterday. But we got a scan and our little gummy bear looked perfect! We got to see it wiggling around like crazy, waving its little arms and legs all over. So grateful everything is okay!!
It was great! Meausered 7 weeks 6 days which was right on track with a heart rate of 148. I also got to see the baby via handheld ultrasound (didn't know they existed) at 8 weeks 4 days heart still thumping. I'm so happy but sooo sick. I've lost 16 pounds so far and meds barely work.

I'm loving seeing everyone's pics, and the universal sense of relief when you see the little heartbeat! Here's mine from today, measuring 9 weeks! I would have had to wait until 12 weeks for the first one, but I had some odd spotting so the doctor booked me in to check on lil bug. All is well!
After two very long weeks of waiting and fear I’d lost a third pregnancy I’m back with good news. Baby is measuring 7w4D according to LMP I’d be 8w1D so it’s within a week so they were happy with measurements and HB was strong at 160.
Had our appointment yesterday and finally got to breathe a sigh of relief. Measuring only 2 days behind my LMP date so not changing EDD, but strong 167 HB. Sooo excited for 'Nother Nugget!!!

Baby measured right at 8 weeks plus some days. They are estimating October 155th as the due date. *snip*
@wintersong, October 155th?! I hope you don't go late! 😉
Uuuuggghhhh My phone does this weird thing where it corrects one number to another one. As if people in NYC are messing up the autocorrect with their street numbers. For example, my phone always changes SECOND (the number version) to 22nd ... I didnt actually type the 2 in 2 times there, I only typed it once and my phone decided it knew better than me
Here is my little peanut that we got to finally see today. Measuring exactly 8 weeks with a heart rate of 165! I'm already so in love with this tiny little human growing inside me, it's amazing! Due 10.18.2019
I had my first yesterday, too! So exciting! Mine measured at 7w 5d. I had estimated 8 weeks exactly. We saw the heartbeat flicker and the Dr said it looked good but she also said she wouldn't measure it exactly or tell us an exact rate. Did you hear it? How did they measure it?

Congrats!! It’s such a neat procedure We didn’t hear the heartbeat but we were able to see it on the screen. She then told us she was measuring the heart rate and shared it with us. I wouldn’t worry-every doctor has their own way of doing things and some may not share specific information like that. If she said it looked good, I’m sure everything is just fine!
Little Brussel Sprout waving “HI”!!! (10w5d). Best $60 I’ve ever spent! We watched it wiggle and kick and stretch! They recorded the whole thing and put it on a dvd, which I plan on watching nonstop for the rest of the night. 😍😭😍
I had my ultrasound last week! We got pregnant with #2 with the first try so I was really nervous something wouldn’t be right... like it was too good to be true. But doc said everything looks good, strong heartbeat of 149/minute baby was upside down haha but they said that is ok
Oh so much change! Bottom is from last Wed, measured 6+4 w/ HR of 127. Top is today, measured 7+5 w/HR of 165! My PGAL self is over joyed to have passed my milestones

Such a relief to see the heart beat (160 per min) at my first scan - 7 weeks 6 days.
Continue to grow lil one!
