One week until my first ultrasound. So hopeful that everything looks ok this time! Last time (in Feb) there was an enlarged yolk sac and low HR. Please please please be different this time! 🙏🏼
@kimberly810 We could see sac with yolk sac. They like to check early to make sure baby is in the right place. Also, see how many are there. Then, 6.5 weeks is to see heartbeat. My R.E. hands you off after that.
@momof3qtpies, were they able to see anything at 5.5 weeks? I wish I could have done 5.5 and 6.5, although I’d probably be a mess if I didn’t see much (or things didn’t look ok) at 5.5 weeks. I just want to knowwwwww already!
@momof3qtpies, that would be nice if I had an ultrasound at 5.5 weeks. I would be going in now! I have to wait until 6.5 weeks. 😭 but now that I’ve matured to the IVF ways, I think it’ll be good for my sanity. I will just worry if there is something actually wrong by 6.5 weeks as we know it should be Ok by then. This pregnancy is so different. I don’t feel as debilitated and tired. Hope that’s a good sign!
My doctor does ultrasounds at 5 1/2 weeks and 6 1/2 weeks. You have a long wait. I was always more relaxed when appointment were not close. Day before, I would start to worry. That gets better though once you can feel the baby moving.
@kimberly810, I think everything will be fine! And I too seem to have less symptoms this time. Some nausea but not a ton of queasiness. Overall pretty mild. I did gag suddenly after trying to satisfy a cold stone craving. Lol! Then I heaved occasionally as we drove home. Lol.
You know what I was thinking? That you and I may not have worked because we were very overstimulated with OHSS with the fresh. I think especially since we are PCOS ladies, our bodies were flooded with hormone. It’s nice in some ways because we get a LOT of eggs, but I think it hurts us in a sense that our bodies are not at the optimal hormone level to sustain a pregnancy very well. I think my estrogen was over 5k I think? I forgot. But it was super high. And I know my body was so full of sugar. And well, you know sugar from Gatorade is the enemy for anyone with PCOS. Soooooo... all of this long windedly telling you that your baby will be fine! You had excellent excellent eggs! And this one survived the thaw! So I can’t wait to see your ultrasound! ❤️
@momof3qtpies, I hope so!!! Tick tock, tick tock... July 5th is forever from now. Wahhhh. A week and 3 days. Hahaha. Thankfully I’ve been super busy! And it’s nice feeling something. 😊
