Any answers?

Hi,
Went to the dr last week, got a due date of June 10th (1st day of LMP was September 3rd), went for a ultrasound today due to brown discharge (worse after a bowel movement), pink spotting briefly last weekend and the ultrasound technician said she doesnt think we are that far along (6 weeks today), and that it was the size of a cheerio. She said everything looks good, but she wouldn't say how far we are. GP sent me for blood today and every other day till next week, the ultrasound wasn't in his computer yet this afternoon. We don't see obgyn till next Wednesday.
How far along are you if your in the cheerio stage?
Is this common/normal?
Thanks!

You are probably only 4 or 5 weeks instead of 6. Usually starting at 6 weeks (earliest) they can find a heart beat via u/s

I agree, you shouldn't have to wait that long for some answers. But it is normal for the due date by LMP and ultrasound to be different. LMP is an estimate where the ultrasound is more accurate. Good luck.

No heart rate, she said it was too early.
I'm confused, what do I go by?
She said everything looked good tho.

Was the baby big enough to measure a heart rate? If so, the tech is REQUIRED to measure the embryo for dates.  You can simply call the place that did the ultrasound and get a report.  It's your test.  You're allowed to have a copy of the report.
