[XP from PGAL]
UPDATE: Thank you so much for all your prayers and positive thoughts. Bookish Baby has a heartbeat! He/she was measuring 6w+3d with a heart rate of 119 bpm.
I am happy to have passed this milestone, but my PGAL brain just will not quit. I know I'm not out of the woods yet, as my last 2 losses occurred after we'd already seen a healthy heartbeat on ultrasound.
Based on LMP, I *should* be 6w5d. I wasn't temping this cycle, just using OPKs. But based on past cycles and OPKs, I think it's likely I ovulated on day 15 of my cycle, which would put me at 6w4d. If that's true, then today's measurements put Baby Bookish only a day behind. The rational part of my brain says today's U/S was in the morning, tiny measurements can be inaccurate, etc, etc.
But then my PGAL brain clings on to that number, 6w3d, because that is exactly what I was measuring at what was supposed to be my 7-week ultrasound with my last pregnancy in November, with a HR of 113 bpm. The doctor was optimistic that time. But then when I went to the ER 2 days later for bleeding, there was no heartbeat and baby was still measuring just 6w3d. So I guess my brain is stuck on that crappy date measurement. GAH! I hate PGAL brain.
Today I'm pregnant and I love my baby...
I go back next week Thursday (Feb. 5) for a follow-up ultrasound. Grow Baby Bookish, grow!

Hi lovely ladies. If you have some prayers or positive thoughts to spare, would you please send some my way? I have my first ultrasound tomorrow. I'll be about 6w5d. Before this pregnancy, I had 4 first trimester miscarriages in a row, so I'm a bit shell shocked. I want to be hopeful, but am also afraid of getting more bad news. Thank you for any support you can spare!
