OK, so for anyone who is still following this forum, as always i'd love any feedback I could get. I was actually just telling my wife today how this website has helped me so much personally because we haven't told anyone and I have SO many questions, especially being the guy in this. I feel so distant from everything like my hands are tied behind my back.
Anyway, today wife had her first ultrasound. The tech said the sac diameters look as if the baby is 5 weeks, 1 day old. This is where all the concerns, questions and the
come from...
According to start date of the beginning of last MP, she should be 6 weeks, 5 days... (If you haven't read previous posts, the pregnancy test didn't come in positive until 5 days after the supposed missed period) The doc and others on here have mentioned that she most likely ovulated later than expected, but the last time we DTD before the BFP was July 6th! (July 4th was what we thought to be the big O day)
After seeing the seemingly empty sac at todays ultrasound, the doc said to come back in two weeks for another ultrasound. She said it's probably too early and in 2 weeks we will be able to see more.
Positive news was she had blood work done again and she is now at 14,000 HCG, which is the only thing that seems to be right on track when it's compared to her first blood test she had 2 days after the first BFP (64, 13 days ago>102, 12 days ago>1,000 7 days ago>14,000 today)
Doc isn't giving me the assurance I want that this is normal. I know it's too early to tell, and that she is busy/ does this all the time but I just want to hear "Yes, it is normal to have an ultrasound showing a sac that looks as if she is 5 weeks 1 day pregnant, even though the closest date the baby could have been conceived was 30 days ago....
Has any experienced this? We are very excited, but it just seems like things should be further along. We are telling the first set of parents this week. It would be so great to feel more positive about where we are before telling them... I want to be
and stop being
Thank you all for the support and education these past couple weeks!
