first ultrasound tomorrow...

[lo]

Ugh, I'm just a bundle of nerves!!  I will be 5w4d, if I go by the date I had my IUI as O day.  I know because it's so early I might just be able to see the gestational sac and yolk sac (I think?).  I know that it's very likely I won't be able to see the fetal pole (ugh I don't even know what that is!) or heartbeat.  But some women do see these things this early, so I'm just nervous if I'm not able to then my mind will automatically go worst case scenario.  I've been letting my anxiety get the best of me and reading other horrid message boards (not GBCN, obvs) and I'm dreading the US and just want to get it over.

I was so cautiously excited when I got a BFP and now...   

Sorry if this is whiny.

Fx for a great ultrasound!

I hope it goes well!

Fingers crossed for a good u/s. FWIW my first u/s was at 5w1d and I was sooo nervous. We saw the gestational sac, yolk sac and the beginning of the fetal pole, knowing at this point we wouldn't see much it was still re-assuring for me. I'm surprised knowing your IUI date they scheduled you before 6weeks, hopefully they'll schedule another one in 2 weeks to check.

Update us tomorrow!

Good, I think! The nurse who did it said everything looked perfect. We saw the gestational sac and yolk sac, and she thought thought this whitish shadow was the beginning of the fetal pole. My hcg was 14575. I go again in a week and she said there will be more to see, including the heartbeat.

Thanks for asking

Hurray! Great news!

[FastHands]

Yay!! So excited for you!

Good for you! I always hate those super early u/s because a single day can make such a difference in what you can see.

My very first US was really just a dark blob that I wouldn't have even sren had it not been pointed out to me, but the RE said it looked just like it was supposed to at that gestational age which was comforting. (It was at 4w5 or 6 days)

And hey, she was right as I have my beautiful DD to show for it now.

Glad your u/s was good. And try to enjoy them. You'll miss the regular u/s when you graduate to 'everything looks normal, no extra u/s needed'.
