First scan, earlier along
Hi, I’m really nervous. We just had my first scan at what I thought was 7 weeks, but they think I’m actually only 6 and 2 days. They couldn’t really see the fetal pole but yolk and gestational sac looks great. They want me to come back after Thanksgiving.
With my first, it was the same thing. They got a heartbeat, said it was weak and to come back. She’s now almost 2 and healthy as a can be. Please ease my mind for those that have been here before that this pregnancy has a good shot. I’m so attached. I’m so nervous and anxious.
The doc said he sees this with ladies whose cycles are longer like mine and thinks we are just 3-4 days behind in development which would make sense why they don’t see the pole. I have no history of miscarriage, IVF, not at risk I’m considered a low risk pregnancy. I have all the symptoms, sore boobs, nausea, exhausted, mild cramps I feel perfectly healthily pregnant but I’m terrified to come back and something is wrong. Please send us good vibes and would appreciate anyone’s experiences. Thank you for reading.

I’m in the same boat! Scan on Monday, they think I was 6w6d but no fetal pole or heartbeat. They did see a yolk sac though. I have a follow up scan on 11/27. Super nervous about it too and I hate that I have to wait so long! I do think I’m earlier then that though because I also have longer cycles. 🤞
Sending you good vibes too!
We are literally on the same path! My appt is on the 28th and god I don’t want to wait that long. Last time with my daughter the heartbeat was “weak” so I had to come back and he wants a solid scan so we don’t have that again. I’m glad I’m not alone! I just read a few others on another post had the same thing so I think it’s positive everything else is there. I hope these beans stick for us 💜
I’m in same boat. I always thought I was 1-2 weeks behind what they thought I was. I went in today which they thought was 2 days shy of 8 weeks. I really thought it was 2 days shy of 7 weeks. I had a sac and a poll but no heartbeat. I’m going back dec 4th. I spotted today and flipped out. Then read that the sonogram can cause spotting. I really really wish they would have told me that.
oh wow I forgot about that they didn’t even tell me that either! I really hope you get good news at your next scan. For reference, I’ve spent most of my day looking at forums 😅 and found tons and tons of women who went in early at 6 or 7 weeks and it was just early!!! They went on to have healthy babies so hoping that’s the case for us
Thank you for sharing that with me!!
I’d like to come back and share I am not nervous anymore. I feel SO PREGNANT. I’m legit so at peace because I’m sick as hell 😂 my boobs hurt sooo bad and I am whooped. This was for sure just too early so for anyone going in at 5-6 weeks, please look at my original post and prepare yourself! For those going later, it’s going to be best you are having a later scan for the best results!
I always want to go in early to have that scan of reassurance but to find out they don’t see what they want is so crushing and nerve wracking 😓
TOTALLY! I honestly wish my practice didn’t let me come until later lol because it’s anxiety probably for nothing after reading and hearing countless of stories ending in good things, but they of course treat it as it could go south but could not.
