Congrats!! I knew it would be good news for you!!
Congrats!!! That's wonderful news :)
Halleluiah!!!!!! So happy for you!
just want everyone to know.. i went to the doctor today and they saw a heart beat!! =D
I went in on monday the 9th and they saw the gestational sac and the yolk sac which was the same day i had my beta hcg test done. The week before they could only see a gestational sac with a small white dot. it just freaks me out. every time i go in, i think i'm going to see more, and it's always a let down.
I agree with Heather5; if you are correct in calculation, then today you are only about 5w5d and usually they cannot see anything until about 6w and they don't expect to see the heartbeat until about 7w - give or take a few days. Most doctors won't schedule the first appointment until 6 or 7 weeks or after because they usually can't see anything yet. Based on your numbers everything sounds great! Be happy, relax, and enjoy! I bet next week you'll be able to see more on the sonogram! Good luck with everything and keep us posted on how it all goes! Stay positive!
I'm not sure about the levels and how they correspond to how far along you are...but if your doctor's right and you're only 5 weeks, then it's too early to see the fetal pole. It's usually is not visible until sometime during the 6th week (which is also when the heartbeat normally shows up on an ultrasound). However, I'm a little confused about how long it has been since they were first able to see the sac. Was that on the 9th when you had your last beta or later?
