The u/s was "indeterminate".
Thanks doc.
In other words, we could see the gestational sac, the embyro sac, and maybe a hiding fluttering thing.
Thanks to you, missing one, for having the earlier comment "why so early?" Without you knowing the result, and you saying that, it really helps.
We have another ultrasound in 10-14 days.
We are not really sure how pregnant I am. According to LMP it would be say 7 weeks, but it's somewhere between 5-6. I do have long cycles, so it's up in the air.
I asked the u/s doctor if we should just keep our hopes up until the next ultrasound and he said "yes" and as he was leaving he said "good luck with the rest of your pregnancy" in a way that sounded, yes, of course the long, long rest of it. Ok, so we are in 'hope-keeping-up mode'.
We next met with the high-risk specialist doctor. She was very thorough and asked lots of questions. I felt comfortable with her and her expertise. The high risk practice is a "team" so you see random doctors (out of 4), but that way everyone is familiar with your case.
She said that in the third trimester we would get weekly NST and we could even get them twice a week if we wanted. And we'll have more ultrasounds. Comfort to our hopeful ears.
Hang in there macadamia! Grow grow grow!
Triple S said I am not allowed to cry until he comes home, and that he was sure there was a blog post to be written!

Try not to freak out... easier said than done, I know. The gest & embry sacs are big deals at this stage. Pre 7-8 weeks you are "lucky" to see a fetal pole.
Sounds like you are in good hands though. Big hugs

That's exactly what I saw last week and I thought I was 7 weeks. Just a sac with the smallest embryo, but no heartbeat yet. The doctor said that was normal, and what he would expect to see at that time. And he thought I was more like 6 weeks. WHo knows. He said he won't know how this is going or not going until 8 weeks, so next week I go back. I have chosed to believe it was just too early. So hang in there.
I don't know why they do those things when the timing is still so iffy...You have to go off the no news is good news theory for now. By 8 weeks then you should be able to see things and then you will have real info to go on.
Try and hang in there, I know it SUCKS ASS, but everyday it'll grow and next tiem you take a peek maybe macadameia will wave!
xxoo
hang in there, girlfriend! It is too early to determine things yet, and the wait is tortuous, I know.
Do all you need to feel comfortable and sane.
The waiting game is hard. The doc is right, it is probably too early. I think macadamia is supposed to double in size every week for the first few weeks, so hang in there.
Hang in there. I know it's easier said than done but you have a lot of people in blogsphere rooting for you and sending cyber hugs your way.

Oops. I can't spell.
((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))
Doubling in size sounds really good. Yes, macadamia was just a single cell a few weeks ago....
I am hopeful, and Triple S gave macadamia a pep talk this evening.
Thank you all for the comments, your support has meant a lot not just to Ya Chun, but for me as well during this very difficult time. I am glad Ya Chun found true friends through the internet.

yeah, when I was preggo last month, they did the u/s at what I was sure was 7 weeks, but we couldn't find anything. She said it was normal and probably too early.
Also, Ya Chun, have you gotten the blood test? You go get the HCG tested and then do it again in about 2-3 days, if it doubles, it's a viable pregnancy, if it doesn't....well, might not want to get your hopes up. Anyhoo, it might help you not be so freaked out.
