We have a heartbeat!!! I am so excited and yet it doesn't seem real, even with this little pic of a bean. :)

I got into the office and they immediately didn't believe me that I had an u/s because the receptionist had miscoded it as a "contraceptive appt." I kept telling them, trust me it's not that! I guess they usually do u/s in a lab, so they weren't used to the dr. doing one in office.

Anyway, they finally allowed me to get undressed and get situated, so by now I'm really crying and stressing and my DH is just gripping my hand. So the dr. choses this time to go get a snack and leaves me waiting for 10 min! I could've died. Finally she came and checked me out - she said everything looks good physically and then she started a trans-vaginal u/s. Their screen was crooked, so I couldn't see a thing, but DH could see a little form with a flashing heart! She printed out a pic for us and said it looks great. I go back in for an ob appt in 2 weeks and she said I can hear the heartbeat that time. I was so relieved I forgot to ask for measurements, but she did say the heartbeat was a healthy 160 bpm.

I just can't believe it - there's actually a little heartbeat inside, it's so mind-blowing.

Thank you everyone for your support and positive thoughts. You guys remembered me more than half my own friends and family! I couldn't have survived this day without everyone here.

Many thanks and SBVs to all!

Cassi's going to be a Mom! Woohoo! Keep doing what you're doing lady.

Contraceptive appt? Geez. Most of the women here would have to strain to understand why anyone in the world would even want one of those =)

Yeah, I'm so glad your appointment went well. It's amazing how little things like waiting can be so stressful. So when you go back in two weeks are they doing another ultrasound? Sounds like if they are planning on listening to the heartbeat. How exciting! I'm going see if I can get another one done before my next OB because that's not till 4 weeks. COngratulations

She said we will listen to the hb on the machine and if we have any trouble finding it, she would do a full u/s again. But I am hoping to have another one in at least a month.

I would definitely try to get another appt. scheduled before 4 weeks for your own sanity! :) I am sure they would understand.

Lots of luck....and celebrate because we survived our big days!

Yay, Cassi! What wonderful news--and that's a great hb! I remember how nervous you were about that first u/s, and I'm just so happy that everything went well. How far along are you? When will you have your next u/s? My first was at 7 weeks and the second at 12, and the change in those 5 weeks is amazing, you won't believe what you're seeing!
