Early U/S

[NaeNae]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has had an early u/s around the 5-6 week mark?

I thought I was 6 1/2 weeks but at my u/s today there was no hb and the sonographer said I was approx 5 1/2 weeks which doesn't work out according to my calculations.

Has anyone had one so early and seen a hb around the 5 1/2 week mark. I have a feeling I may m/c but the lady said not to worry about it just yet and that everything looked ok in terms of sack placement and uterus lining but I am not convinced.

Has anyone had one and been earlier then they expected and not seen a hb then later discovered everything was ok?

Of course I am trying to hope for the best but I expect the worst IYKWIM.

Cheers All

nae you may have ovulated later than you thought or bubs may have taken its time to implant, are you having another scan in a few weeks?
please dont worry im sure all is ok!

AJP - I have an early Ob appointment on the 29th but aside from that I haven't arranged anything. I am not sure whether the Path nurse will call regarding my results or what will happen I assume I won't know anything until I see my Ob.
I guess anything is possible with late implanting etc, but I just can't seem to shake this darn feeling - could be that its coz things didn't go so well though.

Time will tell, there is nothing I can do in the meantime but play the waiting game and pray that all my symptoms develop into full blown m/s.

I hope everything sticks and develops I really do but you know that little brain voice gets in there and self talks all the bad stuff - I hate that little brain voice so much *shakes fist and said like Homer J Simpson*

Heres hoping x x x

noooooooooooooooooo dont worry------ this one is a sticky okay?? no HB for me until 8 weeks with no.1 nothing but a peanut at 5 weeks

don't stress hun!!

I agree Nae, it could just be too early to see the hb.
Was it an internal u/s? They are more accurate too.
the not having a definate answer is the worst!

I had some early bleeding so we had a scan at 5.5w and saw nothing. A follow up scan a week later had a definite heart beat so it isn't unusual just to see a sac at 5.5w

Oh hun, I know how hard it is at this stage of the 12WW.
Blackduckies (Pam) didn't see a HB on the earlier scans until about week 8 I think and she now has lovely little Poppy. I think CSAB was the same with her little girl. Hang in there Nae.

Thanks BG, Laranna and Willow - its soo good to hear that others had a similar exp.

BG I actually asked the Dr about whether or not the fact that I had been so sick would have had an affect and he said no but you're right when its natural there i sno real way to tell whats going on.

I have a very lucky charm that was sent to me from a special friend OS (a fertility type charm) and she swears by it so I am holding on to some hope that everything is fine.

13 days till my Ob appoint so I will try not to worry too much until I have spoken to him and know for sure.


LSK - OMG 8 weeks sheesh were you just freaking out or what?!!

natural conception is damn hard to predict Nae

i had a scan at what i believed to be over six weeks, measured 5w4d - and we JUST had a heartbeat. heart doesn't start beating til around 5.5 weeks.

it isn't uncommon to not see a HB that early - with a natural pregnancy, ovulation, conception, implantation - nothing is KNOWN for sure like it is with an IVF pregnancy - even my iui cycle, i thought i knew when i had o'd - but i was out by almost five days if my scans are anything to go by!!

don't forget you were sick over the time you conceived, so it's likely O may have been a day or two later than you think, and early scans can be out by up to 4 days - so it's more than possible everything is still fine! hold onto hope hunny...

maybe drop into a few of the LT threads - there are lots of girls who don't show a HB early on but have perfect pg's...

thinking of you hun

I agree, it's not an exact science and often you don't see a heartbeat until after 6 weeks.

I had an u/sound at *about* 6 weeks, 5w4d or something the scan measured, and my ob was *pretty* sure he could see a heartbeat but it wasn't definite and was a bit slow. 2 weeks later we saw a good strong heartbeat.

Please try not to worry, everything might be fine, you're just a little earlier than you thought.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers, I hope this little one will be just fine.

I had an early ultrasound at about 5 and a half weeks and they dated me at about 5 weeks exactly. No HB could be seen or heard at that time so they scanned me again 2 weeks later and confirmed the HB.
