Hi girls, well here is the low down. I finally got in to see my doc and she said..."hey the numbers went up" and I said yes, but they didn't double and she said yes that is why we will do an ultrasound stat, so off i went. And they dont let you see anything, so that was horrible.
The doctor then called me once she got the results and said the good news is their is a sac and everything is in the right place, no ectopic...thank god because i was having some pain(turned out to be a small cyst). But she says that they want me to come back in when I am 7 weeks for another because "parts were missing" and they want to check for a heartbeat. I had no idea what that means? So if any of you do, please let me know. I think it may mean they either didnt see a fetal pole, or couldnt pick up a heart beat? Is that bad? I mean, shouldnt the baby have a heart beat by now? She said it may be too early, but I thought some can be detected by 5 1/2 weeks. I was 6 weeks exactly yesterday and my next us is 1/8. I will be 6 weeks and 6 days, but it was either then, or not for 2 more weeks and I was not waiting that long.
Ladies please give me some hope and some similar experiences. You dont have to sugar coat it, if I am looking at bad news, then let me know.
Thank you so much for your help through this! I just dont understand why I cant have a "normal" pregnancy. :(

Just wanted to offer hugs.
Oh Katie,
Try to relax because most people do not see a heart beat till at least 6 ½ weeks. I know that some people see the heart beat at 5w6d, but those people are out of the ordinary. Also the cyst if it is on the ovary is a GREAT thing! That is the corpus latum and that is supplying the progesterone to the baby till the placenta takes over!
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Thank you both! I am trying not to freak out. Yes, the cyst is on my ovary, so I will take that as a good sign then. I am having some pretty good morning sickness this morning, so I am hoping this means the hcg is on the rise and my baby will be beating soon!
Thank you for the quick response...it is going to be a long week wait for me.

I had an u/s with my last pregnancy at exactly 6 weeks and saw a heart beat and I had one at exactly six weeks with this one and saw only an empty sac.
Thanks Nikki! It makes me feel pretty good that they didnt see anything at yours and now you are 26 weeks! Congrats! I am trying to stay positive the best that I can.
Wish me luck!
Well I called the doc back and she said...that they only saw a sac and I was measuring at 5 weeks and 5 days, which isnt bad because it could just mean that
Katie,
I'm sorry that you are going through this right now...the waiting game is a killer!

Thank you girls! I do appreciate your optimism! I need it! I am trying to stay as optimistic as I can.
Keep me in your prayers this week!
Katie
