HOLY **** are the words for the day!!! GOOD NEWS at u/s...maybe TOO good!
So I was a little panicked when he made me sit there quiet and wasn't saying anything - and then he asked again if there had been any bleeding and my heart sank. He wasn't letting me look at the screen. DH could see it and tried to help me out by saying "It looks like there's something in there"
THEN he asked me "so you didn't use any clomid or any fertility treatments this month?" I was like huh? How many ARE there? I told him I only had ovarian drilling done in July to get me to ovulate on my own and this was completely natural.
It seems the drilling made me ovulate THREE times! That was why there was a delay in development. So far just ONE perfect little beating heart, but in just 6 days TWO MORE sacs appeared! We won't know for another two weeks if they will materialize into something...but based on all the times I've read about the delay with multiples showing up, I have a sinking feeling something might materialize!
HOLY ****! Potentially THREE!!!???! WHOA! This is insane! I went from preparing myself for NONE to THREE?? We'll see - obviously we will be ecstatic for one! I can't believe this! What agony until today!

What an absolute miracle. I agree with some of the others; sometimes I think the doctor do the first u/s's too quickly. Although new mother's are so excited to see the first pictures early, maybe it ought to be standard practice that the first u/s is at 8 weeks. It sure would help new mommies with worry, when they are told on first u/s that they see a sac but no baby. Filling the mother with doubt and fear.
Some doctor's then start talking about a chemical pregnancy and then a D&C, only to find out on next u/s that the baby is developing and growing normally. I do know from reading the Forum's that doctor's are way too quick to talk about D&C. Even in the cases of slow heartbeats in the early stages. Time and time again, it's been proven that there really is a strong, healthy baby in there or babies. Doctor's put mother's through too much needless worry, don't they?
Congratulations, no matter how many babies it turns out to be. We are just rejoicing with you, over your miracle.
All my best wishes for a healthy and happy pregnancy...to you AND your DH. Job well done daddy. His "little guys" grabbed those eggs and said, "Come on guys, you're coming with me to the uterus." "Soft bedding just ahead."

P.S. And tell your doctor to never hide the screen from you again, no matter what he sees. That's cruel. It's your body and your baby(ies). He put you through several minutes of heart pounding fear. Shame on him....

I've got goose bumps all over!!! That is so fabulous!!
Can i ask you what 'ovary drilling' is??
I do ovulate normally and did get pregnant last year with no problem but since my loss almost 11 months ago, baby number two is just not wanting to show :-(
Congrats again and all the best!

hi there can u tell me more about ur ultrasound stories?I'm 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant with IVF I had my first US on tuesday with my regular OBGYN and the Doc only saw one baby bean although for a minute he thought he saw 2 but there was only one...DH and I had a strong feeling that we were having twins, also my Fertility doctor (my IVF doc) had a hunch we were pregnant with twins...so I still have a feeling I'm carrying two but perhaps the other one is hiding somewhere????...let me know what u think...thanks and congratulations!!!!!
Congratulations x3!!! I am so happy you saw a heartbeat. Can't wait for your next update!!!
O - M - G ! ! ! !

Aaaaggghhhh!!!! (that's me screaming with excitement!) I'm so happy for you =) That's what happened with our twins. One sac one week, two the next! I'm just so thrilled for you! What wonderful news =) God bless you & your little ones!!!
wow! Thank you for all the responses! You are all TOO SWEET and I love all the funny comments! I love all the goosebumps and even tears! I don't know how many of you know my whole story (not just the mess of the past week) but it just goes to show, even when you think every chip is stacked against you....NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!!!
I swear everyone in my family has acted so pessimistic except my parents and even my doctor was obviously VERY pessimistic. Everyone had this attitude like "yeah, we'll see if it takes" then it took and my #'s were good but the u/s was bad and everyone acted like "yeah, saw that coming" - NOBODY has been supportive and it has been very hard when even your doctor acts like it isn't gonna happen. But I hung in there and showed them all! As usuk put it - the biggest upset in woman vs ultrasound history!

I had goose bumps while reading your post! I couldn't get to the end fast enough. I am so so so happy for you!! How very exciting! I am so glad that you saw your perfect heartbeat, and now 2 more weeks to see what happens to the other 2. Congratulations mommy!!
Yayyyyyyyy!!!! See you just have to have that 2nd u/s to confirm!! And what a confirmation this was!!!!!!! Congrats!!!
It's so great that everything turned out okay for you. Wow! 3 - That's alot to take in. Too bad that you had to worry so much before you found this out. Makes a person wonder if they sometimes start the ultrasounds a little bit too early. Here's to a healthy and happy nine months however many it turns out to be. Congrats!!!
