Hello!
I'm new here and I just wanted to ask a question before I feel like I lose my mind.
I went to a peri last week and they unexpectedly gave me an ultrasound. The tech said before we even started to not be surprised if we dont see anything because I am so eary.During the exam, she said I am 5 weeks 1 day since LMP and the endometrium was really thick and looked ready for a sac. But we didnt see anything, no sac or fetal pole. She seemed totally unconcerned and so did the Dr. My hormones that were taken a few days before did double.
So at that point, is seeing nothing a normal thing? I am just super super nervous and worried. I have another U/S scheduled with my OB this coming Friday and I think pass out in anticipation.
I really really appreciate your help and thoughts on this....
Best of luck to everyone!

Totally normal!
Hey there!
My next US is this coming Friday. I wish I could buy my own machine and keep at home so I could do it myself !:-)
I just feel so alone because I haven't seen my OB yet (just visits to the office for blood work) and the perinatoligist seemed totally laid back, telling me that I did not even need to come back to see him! The nurses told me that because my numbers went up they way they should have for my HCG levels that I didnt have to return for any other blood work.Where are the billions of blood draws and visits that I expected to have done by now?!
Aghh! And my DH is about to ban me from ivillage because he thinks I am being a complete neurotic crazy lady.
Thanks sooo much for your thoughts on this. You have no idea how much better it makes me feel.
Congrats on the twins and strong heartbeats! That is so exciting! I'm glad everything is coming along so well!
Hugs and lots of luck,
Alexis
Alexis,
LOL - fortunately my DH is as addicted to his computer game as I am to my message boards, so he doesn't really give me
I do work a full time job...it can be pretty stress full, but this week will be shorter because of the holiday on Weds. Woo hoo! But I don't think even the busiest job could stop me from thinking and stresssing over this.
I am praying lots (and so is DH and our friends and family). I just feel better that this pregnancy I am taking medications (Lovenox and BA) so I feel like I have some sort of control over the outcome. I hope it at least bumps my odds up a little bit.
A doppler would be great. Do they cost a lot? (Sounds like they do). Now that you have had three US, when is your next one?
lots of luck!
Alexis
Alexis,
I know - my job is busy too, but I still think about the pg any time I have even a second to spare.
