Thanks for all the good thoughts, ladies. The scan didn't go very well. I have a gestational sac and yolk sac measuring 5w6d, but he couldn't see a baby or cardiac activity. RE said it could be the placement. The sac is high in my uterus and hard to see, plus my c-section scar makes it harder. So, we could be a day or two behind, or the baby may have stopped growing. I'll get my betas back tomorrow, and have another scan on Monday to see what's going on. I'm trying not to lose hope, but it's tough right now. We used OPKs and I got a very early BFP at 3w1d, so my dates are pretty tight. If this doesn't work out, I'm not sure I have it in me to try again. We may request a Friday scan so I don't have to suffer through the weekend in limbo. Depends on how my betas come back.
I promise to check back in with you ladies later. I hope you're all doing well.

birch113, thinking good thoughts for you and your little bean. Hopefully just a bit too soon. I know other people's stories are just that, but the same thing happened with me and my DS. I went in at 6 weeks and no baby or cardiac activity. I went on vacation with my husband, worried like hell and a week and a half later there he was. I'm hoping for the same result for you!

birch113 *sigh* super super big creepy hugs. I had the same thing in Feb. I am praying that things were just not in the right place to be seen and you were early. I wish I had magic words to make this less disheartening. My heart goes out to you. I completely get the it might be to difficult emotionally to try again. But remember there is always light at the end of tunnel. Make that decision when needed..for now try to de-stress. I would absolutely ask for a scan on Friday. So many hugs.
How are you doing physically? Emotionally? Physically just feel nauseous all the time but no MS, yet. Emotionally, just want my daughter here too.
Any appointments or milestones this week? None, next appointment is next week!
QOTW: It's May, which means I've got summer on the brain. What are you most looking forward to this summer? Getting to wear short sleeves and sandals again. I lived in Florida for 4 years and Arizona before that, just moved back to Pennsylvania last August. Readjusting to the seasons, just ready for it to be warm again.

Huge hugs birch113. I hope your little guy/gal is just a little bit slow to start. I don't know if this helps or not, but at my first u/s (5w4d--2 days before you) all I saw was the yolk sac and gestational sac. I went back the week after that and we saw that little flicker and the little tiny embryo next to the yolk sac.
Anyways, I hope your betas are on point and your next u/s shows a strong HB. These early ultrasounds are so nerve wracking.

First time posting in this thread
TTC for 2 years / dx pcos / finally pregnant with metformin. Healthy pregnancy, DD born 11/13. MMC 10/15 @10w5d.
EDD 12/4/16
9 weeks 1 day!
Physically the nausea is still nonstop. Meds and peppermint oil helps a lot. Emotionally because I'm having this symptom it helps me "feel" pg, but I know I'll get more anxious as next week approaches. My 10th week was when I started spotting and cramping in my last pregnancy which eventually led to a MMC and d&c.
No appointments this week.
Looking forward to grilling out and going to the farmers market! I cannot wait for fresh tomatoes, corn on the cob, and making homemade ice cream. Not excited about the heat (I live in MS). I will survive but it's not going to be pretty being pregnant and sweaty lol.

Well ladies..I wish I had wonderful news...but I have more like uneventful. I am technically 6w2d today and well I went in and my Dr. was like oh well there is the sac and the yolk everything is right on schedule for 5-6 weeks. Which is what I am based on my Ovulation. Sooo...my dr didn't give the MC talk she just said it looks viable and in two weeks she can definitely say we will hear a HB. I am a skeptic and was like are you just being nice right now...cause I need real. But I am going to stay optimistic and hope that it was just early. These are the times I wish I would of found out I was pregnant like 3 weeks after my missed period.
The next US I will be right where I was this Feb when we realized there was no fetal pole. So it will be that milestone.
I hope to still be in the running. sdgal bring one home for the team.

I started bleeding on Saturday, and had a miscarriage. I am bidding you all farewell, and wishing you the very best. May your pregnancies be as uneventful as possible.
