I think we have some people who have ultrasounds coming up so I figured I would get this started now. Please remember to black out all personal information, as this is a public forum and the internet is full of creeps!

Had my dating/viability ultrasound today! Baby is doing a-okay! I got to see their little heartbeat and they're measuring at 6 weeks 2 days so updated due date is October 4th (I'd guessed the 2nd so I was close!)
@knottie14618de9f2519dc7 I had mine so early in part because my cycles are wildly irregular, so they needed to date gestation, but *tw* I also had a scare this week with very heavy spotting so they were confirming viability *end tw* It's totally common to not have an ultrasound until a good 11 weeks in for nuchal fold measurements
So I wasn’t scheduled for my first US until 9 weeks, however at 6w1d I actually fainted at work and went to the ED. My hcg was like 60,000 so they did an US and to my surprise….. twins
I don’t go till 3/4. I wanted to go earlier, they wanted to push it a week. I can only go on Fridays with my job so we compromised and I’m going right at the end of 9 weeks
Successful placement ultrasound!! We were able to see a yolk sac and it’s definitely in the uterus this time!! I know it’s no guarantee for a successful pregnancy but we’ve got a shot this time and I’m so relieved 😭
This was at 6 weeks and 4 days. Due to my last menstrual period we thought I was 7 weeks and 4 days, but my doctor adjusted based off of measurements from this scan. Next ultrasound will be at 10 weeks and 4 days. 💕
@robbinsegg317 So excited for you! I hope this is able to ease your anxiety a bit.
@sandy5693 I feel you on that, as I am feeling the same about my upcoming US. All the things crossed for you!

I go on the 21st at 7 weeks. I had a blighted ovum in 2011 and then 2 weeks later got pregnant with my son. It’s been 10 years so I’m very nervous and can’t wait to have this first ultrasound.
Everything looked normal at my ultrasound today, I am so temporarily relieved. We saw the yolk sac and could make out the fetal pole (I'm 5w4d). And my HCG is at 25000 so things seem to be going in the direction they should be going. I am still rightfully nervous until I hear that heartbeat, but I will celebrate each victory.
Yes, I forgot to mention I go back on 02/23 for another US. Since I'm in an IVF cycle I'll be going about once a week until I'm hopefully ready to transfer to my OB.
I went today for a confirmation US at 4 weeks 6 days. Because I had an ectopic rupture in august. We only saw the sac but it’s in my uterus 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I’m so relieved. I go back for another in 2 weeks
We don’t go for an US until 2/25 and the wait is KILLING ME!!!! I just want to know that everything is okay and going in the right direction. First pregnancy, and so far have no reason to believe that anything would be wrong (no bleeding, no pain), but just nervous and want to know for sure!
I have had very little nausea (thank god) but my boobs are sooo sore!!!! But i guess I’m just looking for a sign from my body that all is well!
knottie4829fe87e2f0ab32 that’s wonderful news! Any chance you might be able to change your username? It will make it a lot easier to tag you in replies and remember who folks are with unique usernames instead of the knottie names.
My first US will be on 2/22 at 6w2d. The wait is definitely killing me. I go in for a regularly scheduled pap tomorrow, so I’m hoping they’ll indulge me and check my betas again so I can have some kind of confirmation that things are still going ok. ❤️🤞🏻🙏🏻
I have to wait 2 more days for my dating and viability US and im so nervous! On one hand im excited but on the other so scared to hear bad news…how do people do this?!
I finally got my first US and blood test on Tuesday this week. HCG was about 25,000. I thought I was 7 weeks but turned out to be about 6+2 at the time. I got to see the heartbeat as well! However, the tech said the first time they counted it was about 120, the second time they think it was 101, but they said it was hard to tell since it’s so small.
I guess my question is - is that normal for the heartbeat and not being able to tell clearly?
@knottieee376626a2bbc6b7 Sounds like things are going great! 101-126bpm is normal for 6 weeks, so sounds like things are right on track. I'll probably measure a little earlier too, since I think I ovulated at CD19.
Also, if you could change your username that would help keep track of you!
@knottie376626a2bbc6b7 I had the same thing happen at my first ultrasound at 6w2d and my midwife said it was likely because baby is so small that it can be hard to get a fully accurate read on the heart rate. She offered for me to go back the next week for peace of mind but since she wasn't too worried I'm just waiting until the first trimester screening.
Mine is haven't me wait too. I'm 4 weeks 4 days today, found out to days ago. Called today and they said they normally do first appointment around 8 weeks and do an ultrasound.
