It went about as well as could be expected. I was measuring within the normal range for gestational age and everything looked normal for now. It's just so early that they can't tell anything conclusive at all. The doctor said that the numbers don't really mean anything right now and that I don't need to worry about the betas because you can't compare one pregnancy to another. I have zero symptoms but he didn't seem concerned. We have another ultrasound scheduled for Thursday, July 30th and I'll be almost 8 weeks. I'm irrationally angry at our families for scheduling vacations two weeks in a row. I don't know if I'll be able to enjoy any of it and I'll just be wishing it away. We are currently undecided about whether to tell our parents what's going on.
Right now I think I have a healthy mix of optimism and realism.
The limbo and feelings of doubt must really suck, but it sounds exciting and optimistic to me as an outsider! Happy that thinks are still moving in the right direction for you and hopeful they stay that way.
Poor wording: the limbo is not exciting. Just being pregnant still.
Chin up! I know symptoms mean nothing, but I'm crossing my fingers that you'll get slammed with nausea while on vacation (because Murphy's Law would dictate that, right) if only for your peace of mind.
TTC since August 2011. After MFI diagnosis and IVF+ICSI, we had DD on July 6th, 2013.
TTC #2 since September 2014. 2 attempts at a FET, my body was never appropriately suppressed. Never made it to the ET. Got pregnant naturally-M/C Dec 14 at 6 weeks. FET 2/26/15...BFN 3/15/15: Repeated SA...higher numbers than with DD. 5/4/15: IUI#1 - BFN 6/18/15: BFP on a break cycle! Due 2/20/16.
Oh and due date is March 12. I was thinking March 11 but they said March 12. My first baby was due March 1 so it would be nice to finally get a March baby.
We had a scare with E early on and MS hit while at the beach, on vacation. It was around 8 weeks so hang in there and keep in mind it's still pretty early to be feeling much MS. I'm happy to hear the doctor isn't concerned, hang on to that.

Praying for you and your March baby. I was supposed to have a March 3rd baby.
sctiger, I hadn't read all the responses, just scrolled for your update. I hope you continue to get positive news . Fwiw, I had more early symptoms with my loss than either full term pregnancy. Keeping you in my prayers and fx for a happy and healthy 9 months.

I'm so glad to hear that things are headed in the right direction and I really hope you are just getting to experience an easier pregnancy. If your doc is optimistic that's great news. I hope you can enjoy your vacation and keep busy until your next US.

I'm glad things are still going in the right direction. I hope you can enjoy your vacation. More hugs, prayers, and continued good thoughts being sent to you!
Lots of hugs, I found it really helpful to repeat those mantras on the Carrying a Rainbow board. Focus on your family and Miss A while on vacation and just breathe.
