Update

So I went for the follow up ultrasound today. She pretty much immediately found the gestational sac. In my uterus where it belongs, so that was good.

What also was good, was she was explaining to me everything she sees. Usually the techs don't tell me anything, they just send it over to my doc, who then gives me the results.

I get the usual, "Are you sure about your dates?". Yes lady, I keep really good track of my cycles.

She's looking, and she tells me she sees a yolk sac in the gestational sac. And also a freshly formed fetal pole.

She takes some pictures.

Then she says to me, "You see that flicker, flicker, flicker? That's the heartbeat."

Whaaaaaaat.

I went into this fully expecting to be told I've got a baby in a tube and I need emergency surgery before it ruptures. Or at the very least, an impending miscarriage.

Was not expecting a heartbeat at all.

Now, we are not 100% out of the woods. By my dates (which are on point), I should be 7 weeks, 5 days right now. But the ultrasound today is putting me at 5 weeks, 5 days. Had i gotten pregnant 2 weeks later than I think I did, i would have gotten a positive test before I even ovulated. Which is impossible.

But for now, everything looks good, and we just wait to see how things progress.

She didn't give me a picture, but she gave me good news, so I'm ok with that. But here's another one of Emma anyway.

Here We Go Again

I had a doctor's appointment today.

For a pregnancy confirmation.

I should be 7 weeks 4 days today. But my uterus is seemingly empty. She found something she said she thinks could be a yolk sac, but it's so far off she can't even figure out where it is.

So, I may be having another miscarriage (this would be my 5th now), I may have an ectopic pregnancy, or nothing could be wrong and they just can't find the baby.

Tomorrow I go to Maternal Fetal Medicine for a more detailed ultrasound to figure things out.

I don't know why this keeps happening. It's taxing and stressful.

I'm hopeful that baby is just playing hide and seek, but I'm prepared for the worst. This waiting game is the absolute worst though.

Emma's good btw. She is currently jumping on the couch like a maniac, living her best life at 2.

Here's a picture of her eating her birthday cake.
