Desperately looking for support or advice!

I’m at such a loss. I went to an OB where they said I was roughly 5 weeks. They ordered blood work and ultrasound, etc. I went to my ultrasound appointment and the tech was confused an to why they sent me there when my levels aren’t that high yet and having grown much. She still took a peek and couldn’t see anything. So she did a transvaginal ultrasound and saw a wee baby sac. That may appear to measure around 5 weeks. But I’ve been spotting lightly for about a week now. Should I be concerned? Scared? Nobody will see me right away. My bf thinks I’m just not as far along as I was told to begin with but I’m so confused and hate that nobody is communicating with me or giving me answers! I just need support or advice!

    There is nothing they can do - so they do not see it urgent.  Spotting is more than likely the cervix being irritated by the ultrasound and/or sex.  There is no severe cramping, you are not filling up a pad, they see it as non- emergent and more as a wait and see, since you were barely even 5 weeks.  They are not concerned because they see nothing to be concerned about right now - and I agree with the tech - what doctor sends a patient that is approx 5 weeks to ultrasound?

    The anxiety that occurs once you become pregnant or even think you are pregnant can be debilitating. You are very early and it is an unsteady time. The waiting game can be grueling so make healthy choices with what you put in your body and do your best to distract yourself in the meantime. The soonest you can get a worthwhile ultrasound is 7 weeks.
