est. 6 weeks and no fetal pole or hb???

[sammyjo316]

i went for my first us a week ago and an old lady did it and said i was ABOUT 6 weeks....i went back exactly a week later and nothing had really changed, another woman did the ultrasound this time...but we saw a little tiny flicker on the screen that she wasnt sure if it was a blood vessel or a little heart beat (done trasvaginally)....my period has been crazy lately so im just hoping the old lady thought i was further along than i am? theyre testing my hcg levels now and im worrying myself to death about it. i know if i ever get prego again not to go to the doctor until im around 10 weeks cause its like a lot of these ladies say, its just extra stress we dont need. help?

just keeping everyone updated...idk if anyone really reads this or not but i guess i am sort of venting. i went back for my ultrasound today and there was no heartbeat. i am completely torn apart...its killing me, it feels like part of me is dead...its even worse because its friday and they arent wanting to do the d and c until monday or tuesday, so i know im carrying around a dead fetus. it hurts so bad....any tips or similar stories would be greatly appreciated. its nice to have people to talk to that have been through similar stuff. feel free to email me at ***@**** thanks yall.

:) i went to another doctor thursday and they did an ultrasound and there was a heartbeat :) it was the most beautiful sound id ever heard...i cried like crazy. they dated me at 7 weeks and 2 days. they said that there were still a few things that worried them, they said my gestational sac was irregular shaped but then turned around and said that it could have been the wand since they did the ultrasound vaginally. i pray everything goes alright but it was such a relief to hear that babys heartbeating, anddd it was a strong heartbeat at 160 bpm :D please continue to pray for me. thanks guys! (:

just keeping everyone updated....everything has been going fine as far as i know, no spotting or bleeding...still feel pregnant, boobs hurt, morning sickness etc....so only waiting on the results of my hcg levels monday and i think i may find another doctor if theyre okay considering all the unneeded stress they caused me at such an early stage in my pregnancy.

[sammyjo316]

thank you! (: yall are great!

[anwright]

you are in my prays. I am so happy that you got a little bit of good news. I wish you the best and cant wait to find out with you.

[sammyjo316]

i just left the doctor to give them blood for the second time to compare my levels and i asked what the first level was from tuesday and she said 12000 or something and she said "oh thats really good!" so im trying to remain hopeful and i also informed her that if everything is okay witn my levels that i dont want another ultrasound for a few weeks....just updating :) please continue to pray for me!

[sammyjo316]

thank yall for the responses....it really does put me at ease to hear mothers storys of how they have healthy babies and have pretty much been through the same thing as me. i am going for my second set of blood work this morning to compare my levels, wish me luck....thanks again :) yall keep in touch and i will update. id love to hear yalls updates as well! good luck!

I wouldnt worry too much, even if your dates are correct sometimes its hard to find baby or baby develops differently than others.
I wasnt able to see my daughter (after many scans) until 3 days shy of 9 weeks. They told me the worst and suggested D&C...She is 1 today :) I knew my dates exactly, and also when the finally found her they bumped me up half a week. (LOL, oops. You know your dates too then)
I am pregnant again and with this baby we seen him at just over 6 weeks.
Every pregnancy is different. I agree, stay away aslong as you can. Doctors put so much extra stress on a pregnant mother and in most cases all for nothing.
Best of luck

I know with my latest baby I had a scare early on and did not think I was ready tell I saw that  heart beat. But my doc told me that the date I gave him for my conception date was wrong but I know for sure it is right. That was the only day he said opps LOL. so even now I am going with my date not theres so ya she could have been wrong. I can't wait to see how the test goes hope all is well.

[sammyjo316]

im trying not to worry...this is my first pregnancy and it was totally unexpected but my fiance and i have kinda got used to the idea of having a baby and have even bought a few small things, the wait is whats killing me. do you think its possible that they miscalculated the date since the first ultrasound the woman said ABOUT 6 weeks? thanks for the response...its nice to hear other peoples opinions.

I would try to relax the stress is not good on you. I would wait for the blood test results and then know for sure. hope all goes well good luck you are in my prayers.
