I just returned from my first u/s (6w 2d by LMP) and we have a heartbeat! The sonographer at the RE took lots of shots and said that everything looks fine. The HB was 121, the baby measures 6w 4d (which is right for ovulation) and my cervix is a good length. The whole cervix thing is an issue because I've had 3 D&C's in 18 months, so they like to monitor it. I didn't take a printout of the picture because it just gives me something to obsess about. Maybe next week?

She also said that yolk sac was regular and the sac was a nice smooth shape which was all encouraging. I was worried that the sac looked the shape of a banana on the angle she needed to see the baby but she said that it just conformed to the shape of the uterus and I shouldn't worry about it at all. It was nice and round from another angle!

As you can see I was ready to panic about anything I could find. In the end I am only anxious because the baby is so tiny!! I forgot what the 6 week u/s looks like... a little pip.

I do have 3 cysts (2 on the right and one on the left) but they are normal and even reassuring because they also help with hormone production.

I am scheduled for another next Friday because in two of my m/c the loss has actually occured before 8 weeks.

Am I crazy... I am now MORE worried. Its like its real now.
