First Ultrasound

I am about 5 weeks 4 days (give or take) from our 3rd IUI round. My first ultrasound is in 10 more days but feeling extra nervous. I never actually thought I'd see a positive since I had a history with PCOS. My symptoms are different daily.

Gender test tomorrow!

I'm doing the genetic testing and gender test and I have questions... likely better asked to my Dr but I'm asking here anyway. I want my best friend to do the gender reveal from this test... who has done the gender test already and can kind of tell me what to expect as far as what my results will look like? I don't ...

6 weeks measuring 5 weeks?

Hello! I had my early reassurance scan today at what I believe is 6w0d. We saw the yolk sac and baby, and a flickering heart beat. It was wonderful!🥰 I had a transvaginal scan to see more detail as it’s so early. The sonographer said it’s measuring 5w0d. For me it’s impossible for me to be 5 weeks pregnant…
