Lexi, 2 weeks off sounds awesome!!! Get some rest chickadee!
Patiently, June is just starting, I hope you get a June BFP, that would be so awesome! Have everything crossed for you.
Well everyone, the doctor appointment had me scared out of my mind! I met with the doctor, and she explained the process; first a checkup, then the ultrasound, and finally bloodwork. The checkup was ok, except she had to do a pap smear, as soon as she inserted the speculum, she told me my cervix started to bleed. She reassured me, and said it was not from the pregnancy, but my cervix is really sensitive. I know this is true because every time I get a pap smear I spot...
Anyway, she told me it was still early, according to her I am 6weeks, according to the American Pregnancy calculator, I am 5weeks 6days. She said that I may see a yolk sac and fetal pole but if we didn't get a heartbeat not to stress because it was early, she said it's usually seen at the 7 week checkup. Off I went to the ultrasound. As I laid, waiting to get my vaginal ultrasound, I just knew I would get bad news... When the tech examined me, she explained what I was seeing, a black hole = the yolk sac, hmmm I was expecting more? She showed me a round section and said it was the fetal pole, sigh of relief. Then she said "Wait, I think I see a flutter, yes I do see a heartbeat" OMG my soul left my body, I don't think I took a breath... And suddenly there it was, she turned up the volume, and I heard the most precious sound in the world... my baby's heartbeat!!! God does listen to prayers!!! The heart was beating at 112 beats per minute.
I am amazed, still scared, but more reassured, this is just another step forward. I've read that once there is a heartbeat the chance of misscarrying drops and the chance of the pregnancy continuing jumps to 70-90%. Oh I wish it continues to full term, I pray that God blesses me with a healthy 9 month pregnancy and a healthy baby. And here is my lil beanie
the tech said the baby is measuring 5weeks 6days, so right on according to the online calculator
