**trigger warning** update on me

[wells2010]

So, as you know, I got a BFP on Friday (CD 41). I took a different test on CD 35, which was BFN.

I have no clue when I ovulated because I wasn't keeping good track of anything due to the craziness of the holidays and traveling. I usually ovulate late by at least 2-5 days, if at all (PCOS).

Today, I had my first OB appointment. They drew a beta (which I should get back by tomorrow afternoon) and did a dating US. The US showed nothing-- no yolk sac, no gestational sac, etc.

I'm thinking this might be a CP. Also, my ovarian cyst is growing back from August and is 2cm.

I follow up with more betas on Wednesday (I really think I am going to call out of work for this) and then next Wednesday for a follow-up appointment and another US.

The rational side of me is understanding that this is not real, but my idealistic side still has some hope. With DD2, I was way off on dates and during my 1st US only had a fetal pole and no HB, when date-wise she should have been bigger. I guess we shall see what my betas look like this week.

Just keep your fingers crossed for me.

Based on when you got a BFN and then a BFP and that you ovulate late, you're probably only 4ish weeks. It's too early at that gestation to see anything. I'm sure that it's hard to not worry. Hopefully your betas will give you a better idea how far along you are and that your next u/s will provide more reassuring news. ☺ Hang in there and thinking of you!

ETA: Did the doctor mention anything about your uterine lining being thick? That's usually a sign of very early pregnancy when it's too early to see anything else.

I didn't see her after the scan. It was my OB office, so the dr isn't in the room with you.

Keep us updated! Praying it was just too early and for good betas!

I will be keeping you in my prayers that your betas double!

Crossing everything for you. I agree with other posters that it may be too early since you might technically be 4 weeks even with your long cycles.

FX for you! I'm surprised they did an ultrasound so early (about a week after a bfn)- really hoping that you get good beta results and see something in an ultrasound in a couple of weeks!

We're they very concerned about the cyst?

I don't think they were concerned about it. If its >6cm, they look to remove them because there is a higher risk of torsion. I'm sure I'll need to get follow up US's periodically. I had a 1cm cyst for years and then was getting weird symptoms and it had grown to over 10cm. It was big but luckily they didn't have to take my whole ovary. A friend of mine had one the size of a soccer ball and had to get it removed while she was pregnant. Talk about scary!

+1 to this. I got my BFP a few days before you and I'm only 4+4 now. I'm crossing everything that it was just early and betas look good!

FX for you! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

wells2010, I am praying hard for you that it was just early. Keep us updated!

FXed that it was just too early!

I'm starting to feel silly for freaking out. I think part of it was the US tech had zero personality. She had a thick accent was was like "NO BABY IN THERE!"

I'll just have to be patient and see what the betas show.

[wells2010]

So, my betas looked pretty good: 970 and 2175. I'm anxious to see where I am dates-wise. It seems it was just way too early for an ultrasound. I'm hoping for continued good news and I thank you all for your support.

[LittleStarSweeper]

I'm sorry the US tech was so blunt with you. She really should not have made that comment. 😠 Not cool.
Still keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Yay! Those are great betas. FXed you see a sac and more at the next ultrasound!
