Worried about my ultrasound yesterday!

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

So, even though my doctor said everything looked super for how far along I am (5wks 5days, yesterday, the day of my u/s) I am so worried.  I have studied my u/s picture so many times, but I am not seeing a yolk.  And I can't be 100% sure if he said he saw a yolk sac either, I just can't remember!

I'm just being paranoid, I'm sure, but I was just curious if any of you had any input?  We did IVF and  I had a 5day blast transfer on 12/7, so there is no way they are off on my weeks pregnant.  I go back next wednesday for my second u/s.

Any insight would be great!

I hope so :/  Yes, we specifically picked boys; we had hoped to have 4, but my other 2 boys were abnormal, so the 2 healthy boys we transferred.  I feel bad that they wouldn't let us donate the 2 girls we had :(

Have faith & try & relax as much as you can.  I hear that sometimes baby's measure small & then they catch up.  I noticed you always mentioned boys..did you specifically pck boys?

OK, so I FINALLY had my u/s this morning.  I did find out that only 1 of our 2 boys took, so I am very disappointed there, but I kinda figured that was the case.  I am worried about my boy though.  While his heartbeat was good at 117, they are concerned about his size.  They say I'm at 7 weeks today, but he's only measuring at 6 weeks and they want me to come in for another u/s next Wednesday (which will be another ETERNITY!!!) to make sure his is growing.  
I'm a wreck, I've already lost it twice and trying to keep it together and not worry.

I have read on the internet that a lot of doctors do u/s later...it just depends on the doctor...

Yes, good luck to all of us!

I'm trying not to worry but then I find something new to dwell on everyday...it's nerve wracking! I did ivf 5dt of 3 embies. I won't have an u/s until Jan 14...another 2 weeks! I'm on the 2 ww all over again! I'm praying that everything goes well for everyone of us.

[mommyof3andhopefully4]

Mine told me the same thing...he said he promised he would tell me.  So, I need to trust that and enjoy being pregnant and relax for one WHOLE WEEK!  ugh!

I'm praying for you too!  You were IVF, right?  I have a hard time keeping everyone straight!

My heart breaks for all the women that had BFP's and then found out they aren't developing.  I keep telling people I am not far along and anything can happen....I know that is so true.

Let's try not to worry, ok?  LOL  When is your next u/s?

[Alli83]

Yeh mine hasn't either. I don't think mine will until a heartbeat is detected. I just hope mentally I can get to that point. Everything worries me. I'm sure everything is fine if he said it was. My dr told me over the weekend that I had to trust what she says and know she would let me know point blank if something is not right. Just know lots of us are praying for each person on here and praying for the best!

Well, they, meaning my dr. hasn't actually said when my due date is, but, I had my day 5 transfer on 12/7 and my retreival on 12/2.  I found an IVF due date calculator.  Here is the website:

http://www.ivf-infertility.com/calc_preg.php

I filled in the last option, which was the date of the blastocyst transfer.  Maybe I am wrong on the date?  Like I said, my doctor hasn't said how far along I am....maybe I am one day off.  Maybe I was only 5 wks 4 days?  Ugh, who knows.  Tinks:  How far along are they saying you are?

[Alli83]

I thought you went by the retrieval date? On the ivf calculator website it asks you what date your retrieval was bc thats the date the egg was fertilized. It essentially adds two weeks to the retrieval date to give you the due date.

We did our 5dt of 2 male blasts on the 5th and your numbers were much higher than mine (though I'm googling boys tend to be lower).  I won't have my u/s til the 4th, but I'm dry heaving daily so I know there's at least 1 in there cuz it's getting worse daily.  Still doing progesterone gel (yuck) til then.

I'm sure you're on the same paranoid trip as me; I would say don't worry, but that's the pot calling the kettle black, lol!  

You're like me, have kids so know we can carry, but....  I won't worry if you don't!

BTW, how do they figure 5wks 5 days??  Seems like less than 4 weeks...

Keeping you in mind! :)
