First u/s (XP CAR)

[megrae12]

We had our first u/s today. I will start off by saying everything is in my ute! However, I'm measuring a week behind, so all we saw was the sac. Of course, I'm on freak out mode. No one seemed to terribly concerned, which was a relief, I think. I go back on the 31st to see where we are. I'm just praying little miracle does some good growing and has a heart beat when we go back. My doc told to go home and grow a baby, some come on and grow LO!!

Ah I know how frustrating that can be! We were measuring a week behind my first U/S (medicated TI - we knew ovulation +/- a day) and my RE mentioned it was probably due to late implantation, plus a day or two makes such a huge difference that early on. Next week we went back and there was a strong HB.

FX your little bean grows steady the next week for you!

FX for great news on the 31st! Grow little one!

hbanana18, thanks for that, I needed it. I'm hoping that is our case as well.

My RE has said that +/-7 days is normal. And I think most (maybe all?) of us here have seen a pretty big variation, particularly between each u/s! Regardless though: grow baby, grow!

FX your baby gets their growing on!

((Hugs)) I can imagine how distressing that was. Fx that your next u/s shows good growth. Sending lots of God thoughts to you--I know how hard this wait will be!!

megrae12 I have everything crossed for you for good news on the 31st!

Good luck on the 31st! I think there are lots of ladies who have measured behind. I agree with previous posts. I was told as long as there was appropriate growth from scan to scan, it is okay to measure within a week of where baby should be. My baby measured 4-5 days behind for all of my early scans (week 5-9).

Thank y'all so much for the reassuring comments. I swear they are keeping me sane.
