6 days behind on first U/S
I'm looking for hope and positive stories please ? I've had a loss before when measuring behind so I know the worst that can happen. I had my first ultrasound today at 7w6d and I'm measuring 6 days behind. We saw a strong heartbeat at 138. I'm waiting on next steps from my doctor but I'm hoping to get some positive stories here from you wonderful ladies! My rational brain is telling me this is totally normal because I ovulate very late but this is not a rational time ? thank you in advance!
Thank you ladies! I knew I could count on you to talk me off the ledge ??
Doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about! When I had my first scan, I thought I was 6 1/2 weeks but I was only measuring 5 1/2 weeks. But there was a heartbeat. That was three weeks ago. I haven't had another scan yet, but I still feel healthy and I think everything is going fine. I guess I just ovulated late!
I measured 6 weeks 2 days on my first u/s. The heartbeat was 137. That was 5 days behind. My doctor wasn't too concerned, but since I had bleeding the week before, he scheduled me for a second u/s 2 weeks later. When I went back I was still measuring the same 5 days behind and the heartbeat was 156. Baby looks great. Doc said it could be because of length of cycle. I got pregnant shortly after ending birth control and didn't have many periods while using the NuvaRing.
I hope this helps. :-)
@jsim my doctor called me today and she isn't worried at all. Didn't even schedule another scan in 2 weeks. Just my regular NT scan at 11 weeks. Taking it as a good sign ? good luck to you as well!
