Hey ladies. So I had my first appointment today and it didn't exactly go all that well.
I am supposed to be 8+1 today so I figured we would see a heartbeat but neither to doctor or the midwife were able to find one. Midwife started with an abdominal US, saw what she thought was the baby but no HB so moved on to a vaginal US. When she still couldn't find anything she called the doctor in. She was complaining about the machine she was using so maybe it was just a crappy picture and things will change. The doctor could see the yolk sac and maybe the fetal pole. But commented the yolk sac was oblong and not round. Which of course then he was like oh but that could be ok... But I have a feeling it's not.
He said he thought I might only be 7 weeks. To which I said... But I confirmed O with temping, got my positive on 12dpo with negatives days 10 and 11. So I can't be 7 days off. It just does not logically make sense. He was still like, well we'll just see. The midwife was a bit more realistic (after he left the room) but still hopeful. Which I appreciated.
I got betas drawn today and will again on Friday. Repeat US scheduled for next Wednesday. Limbo til then I guess.
I'm so sorry it wasn't more reassuring news. I know the waiting game must be so tough. I'll be thinking of you and hoping your bloodwork and next U/S will give you positive confirmation.
Just got the call about hcg. It was 94,000 yesterday. Which tells me a whole lot of nothing.
I'll get the second set drawn either tomorrow night or Friday morning. Of course I am going out of town with my mom for tonight and most of tomorrow.... So we'll try to make it back early enough on Thursday night to get to the lab before it closes. Its that or I'm getting it done in the morning before work.
I've been thinking about you a lot since I saw your update on this in the grad thread yesterday. Praying so hard that everything turns out okay. I can only imagine how scary and frustrating this must be.

I am really sorry to hear about this. I have gone through the same issues with doctors about dates and timing, it is extremely frustrating and stressful. I will hope for the best for you.
