Morning Everyone - I am new to this and at this stage in my pregnancy, I am around 6 weeks pregnant. The first day of my last period was 6/22 and I usually have 31 day cycles. I went to the fertility office yesterday for an u/s so they can release me to my obgyn. Well, the doctor and a doctor in training did a transvaginal u/s and could not find the fetal pole. He looked and looked but found nothing. Both thought they saw something, but when I talked to him again about it, he said he was not confident that was the fetal pole. The gestational sac was large and at 6w2d; however I think that is stretching it completely. I have been trying for over a year now and already have a beautiful 5 year old daughter. I was distraught after I left the doctor and actually called his nurse because I was so stressed. The doctor actually called me back and told me that by now, he should see something and doesn't; which alarms him. He told me I have a 40% chance of having a viable pregnancy.
I go back in a week for another u/s. I am at a loss for words. This pregnancy is so different than the first. I am not throwing up and I have very little pregnancy symptoms, other than fatigue, running to the bathroom all the time and extreme hunger. Some of these symptoms are better; which also worries me. I just don't know what I am going to do with myself for the next week. I am sad and depressed. I just want to know.
If I don't have a viable pregnancy, why haven't I lost the baby? Does anyone have any words of advice?
