    Go for the scan, Possums.

    First pregancy - heartbeat detected at 6w5d. This pregnancy, heartbeat detected at 6w3d.

    Apparently with an internal ultrasound they can detect a heartbeat from 6 weeks onwards. It can be a little later if they only have abdominal whatsies (can't think of the name now!), but at the very least, they will be able to measure the gestational sack and see if that's the right size for dates.

    Good luck! We're going away tomorrow, so I won't be able to find out how things went until late Monday night/early Tuesday. I'll be praying for you and thinking of you while I'm away.

    I've discovered the reason behind my anemia... it's kinda scary. Latest blog entry, I'm too tired to post it here as well. Lets just say that I'll be biting my nails until I can contact my specialists!

    Possums good luck with your U/S tomorrow, hope everything is perfect!
    I had a 6 week U/S with my pregnancy for DD, and got a great pic of a dot, and heard the heartbeat.
    Very exciting. Fingers crossed everything is OK and you can start the weekend on a positive note

    My U/S is end of next week, so I am looking forward to it too. Will probably tell our parents after that. No one knows we did IVF, so it will be a complete suprise to announce a pregnancy, esp after them knowing we have been having difficulty conceiving. I think we are probably in the minority with this, but we had to do what made us comfortable and we chose to keep it to ourselves. It was hard on some ways not having people to talk to about it, but on the other hand we didnt get people constantly asking. Each way has its pros and cons I guess.

    I am excited tomorrow is Friday and the week is over, have been so UNMOTIVATED at work!

    Possums - my scan is tomorrow AM - and i'll be, at best, 6w2d - my clinic were more than happy with that....

    Nixon - thanks for the comments hun - my bro and SIL have been with us for everything through this journey so i thought they'd be more understanding. they have been my primary support with DH working away... anyone else, i'd understand them not getting it, but this pair should! ah well, i still love 'em!
