How far did you think you were? They can be off by a few days either way..it's hard to measure something so tiny. As for the low heartbeat, I understand your concern. Try not to stress too much. If I'm remembering correctly, budders on GKU had a similar scare & her little guy is healthy & cute as can be. Good luck with your next ultrasound!

Thanks! I thought I was 6 weeks, 4 days - so totally in the ballpark. RE did not seem concerned at all about the low HB, she just thought it was really early. She thinks by 8 weeks I'll be able to see it all more clearly.

My RE didn't even attempt to measure it on Mon 6w1d. She said it's really early and it is still developing. GL with your next appt

I'd try not to worry too much, my RE wouldn't even see me before 6 weeks 3 days because the heartbeat might not be developed enough. Hopefully your next scan shows a perfectly strong HB!

My embryo measured a few days behind too. My RE said she couldn't actually see clearly where it started and stopped, so she was just guessing.

1. How far along are you? Well, It looks like we are likely somewhere in week 6 now...

2. Any thing new? We did a dating u/s on Saturday that showed a gestational sac and a yolk sac, but no fetal pole or HB. So I had to do betas this week before my OB would order a repeat u/s. Tuesdays beta was 12.984.9 and yesterday's was over 20K (still waiting on the exact number), so it looks like we were just a bit too early for the u/s. Repeat u/s is scheduled for the 28th! Everything seems fine - I just ovulated later than my LMP would suggest.

3. Symptom check? I feel pretty good. A little full or queasy here or there, but not much. Boob tenderness has gone away, but they are still large. I am pretty tired now.

4. Rants/Raves? Sorry I was MIA this week. After the disappointing u/s on Saturday, I was really worried so I thought it best to focus on something other than the pregnancy. Now I need to figure out how I am hiding this from my parents on Thanksgiving and from our friends who are staying with us all next week. Also, I totally don't need my maternity clothes yet, but I am seriously considering breaking them out because they are so damn comfortable.
