Hoping this is the right discussion board for this question... I'm new to this!
Had my FET on 2/28. Had first u/s on 3/24, when dr said embryo should be 6.2 weeks, but measured at 5.6 weeks. 1 week later, 4/1, embryo measured at 6.4 weeks, but we saw the heartbeat at 120 bmp. Dr wants to see more growth and hear the heartbeat in 1 week from now. Any similar experiences??? This stuff is crazy-making, I tell ya!!!
I don't have any experience but I wanted to say that I'm sorry you're in limbo. That is never a good place to be. Hopefully everything is fine and baby is just taking its time. It's good you saw a HB.
I’m also measuring smaller than I “should be.” Keep in mind that even though you may know when you ovulated, conception could take a couple days. Also all ultrasounds are off on measurement, the early ones are usually better predictors but I still wouldn’t worry about a few days
my first 2 appt (within 2 weeks) I was a week behind where the doctors thought I should be, but week 9/10 baby had caught up and I was measuring according to my O date. good luck!
@babymine1985 so much easier said than done but try not to worry! It might sound silly but I have a little stuffed animal that's really been helping me through this first trimester. Can you find a token or something that you can hold and wish / pray on? I wish you all the best in the coming weeks and that your little one has a strong heartbeat and good growth for your next ultrasound
