Ultrasound Question

marygoround · 03-14-2005, 04:52 PM

I'm finally pregnant after 3+ years TTC, and 7 IUI's!

I had my first ultrasound on Friday at 6w5d. It showed a gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal pole, but no heartbeat was visible.

They also thought the baby was measuring a bit small (at 6 weeks, rather than closer to 7), but by a negligable amount.

I am going in Thursday for another ultrasound. I am going crazy.

I know it's possible that they just didn't detect the hb yet, and things could be just fine, but I hate the waiting game.

My clinic hasn't done any blood work, so no idea what my numbers are (I have Kaiser).

Any success stories where the heartbeat wasn't detected early on, but was detected in later ultrasounds?

Thanks, Melissa. I appreciate the response.

I will do my best to keep positive, and see how things go on Thursday.
