First scan measurement

Hi ladies. I had a scan a few days ago at about 7+2. Baby measured 11.6mm yolk sack 4.1mm. Do these sound like healthy numbers? It appears the CRL is average based on some sites but low according to a few. Nothing about yolk sac. I also had blood tests done the same day and would have expected to hear if there was a problem but can't seem to relax.

Thanks ladies.
 
Can't say for sure about the numbers being normal or not because I've always been told I'm measuring so many weeks and days not a mm amount but I have measured smaller than my lmp with all but my most recent pregnancy which is measuring right on/slightly big. And my doctor always reminds me she won't give me an 'official' due date until my 20wk ultrasound as measurements can vary so so so much depending on so many things in the early days. Even the u/s tech I had the last time said she could get a different measurement if she used a different angle with the u/s wand because she'd be getting a different view of the baby and I was 10 weeks along at that point.
 
I see. Thanks. They didn't tell me anthing about measurements I just saw the numbers on the scan print out. Hehe.
I am just a ball of nerves because I apparently missed a call from the nurse and won't be able to hear back until Monday.
 
I hate when that happens! It's even worse for me because my dr is only in a few days a week and every time I've had questions this time round, she's been out. Blah...Hope you were able to talk to the doctor today and things are looking good! Oh and I forgot to mention, my sister was measuring nearly 2 weeks (!!) smaller than her lmp with her son but she went to term with him and had no problems. I've measured consistently a week small according to my lmp with all but my current pregnancy. I have a follow-up u/s tomorrow morning to make sure my uterine bleed is gone and I'll be 14+3 (or thereabouts) so we'll see what this little bean is doing now. Kinda nervous as everyone else I've seen around town or on FB is popping out at 3 months and I don't have anything. No bump, no pooch, no nothing. Even though I know I don't get a belly until I'm like six months along, it's hard to see everyone else getting one early.
 
How did your scan go dear? Been so sick I have hardly been able to move. Doc says everything went well with my scan and bloods although my sugar was a tad.high which surprised the heck out of me since I have had low blood sugar my whole life. Nurse said it could be the giant milkshake and fast food I ate right before the test.

I showed pretty late with my first so I am interested to see how I look with this one. Some days I look 4 months pregnant because of the bloat hehe
 
Sorry I've been MIA. My u/s went horrible. The bleed was gone but so was the hb and my bean had stopped growing between 13 1/2 and 14 weeks. :cry: Wasn't actually too surprised though. As I mentioned before, I didn't have a belly, my few symptoms were going away already, and I even told the DH last Friday that something didn't feel right. (We think that's when the baby died and the u/s growth estimate backs that up.) It's been a rollercoaster of a week since. I requested a D&C as I'm nearly 15 weeks and just don't want to deal with a natural m/c but almost EVERYONE is telling me I need to go the natural route. They aren't scheduling me for a D&C until Tuesday (at the earliest) and I feel the dr is hoping I'll have a m/c this weekend. Just so upset over this whole ordeal and want it over but it's not happening. Hoping things hold until next week but I'm starting to feel like it'll be this weekend. Blah...I've got some pretty good pain meds though and DH is only a phone call/few minutes away so if I need to go to the ER, he'll be here to bring me. So mad at the doctor though and SO SO SO glad she's not my regular doctor. My reg dr was out of town this week, hence my visit with a different dr. My reg dr would have never put me through this and she certainly wouldn't have waited THREE days to call and tell me it would be another FOUR days before they can get me in for a D&C (before insinuating, "if you make it that long" Oh, did I want to slap her.) Will be so glad when this is all over either way it happens...
 
Glad your tests went well though. It's weird because every other time I couldn't stand to hear about other ladies being pregnant or be around babies at all for a few months. Now, I'm like holding babies is THERAPY! It'll be rough this X-mas I think as I was due then but I'm hoping I get another BFP with another rainbow baby before that so maybe it won't be so bad. Can always hope, right? Also hoping to get some pretty major testing done-hysteroscopy to check uterus lining/shape/tubes/look for scarring, NK cell testing, and any other test I can think of before I get pg again. Maybe I'll finally get some answers.
 
I'll be praying for you and sending all my extra good thoughts your way! Hope you have a healthy happy rest of your pregnancy and an very easy labor and delivery!
