Had my scan today

[africaqueen]

Well i went for my scan and i am a lot earlier than i thought, as they could see nothing in the womb, other than the lining is thicker than usual. They scanned my tube for ages too and deffo nothing in there, so i am overjoyed at that! They said that i have a lil cyst with fluid on my ovary too and that this is a good sign as it stays there in early pregnancy to help bubs along the nurse that seen me is the same nurse that dealt with my ectopic and she said all the signs are great and she highly doubts this will be another ectopic. She said ultrasounds are good but not good enough to pick up something so tiny at this stage. She said it seems to her that the bleeding which i thought was af was infact implantation bleeding, as she has seen many cases where women have bled heavy enough to believe its af. So she thinks im more like 4wks pregnant, hence the hcg level a few days ago. I am disappointed that im 2wks less than i thought but thankful my tube is clear and that the nurse has great confidence in this being a uterine early pregnancy
So i will have to change my ticker, seeing as im nowhere near 6wks! lol.
I have another scan on the 15th and she hopes to see a tiny sac by then, but she said even then they may not see anything. Every pregnancy is different.
Sooo another 9 days to wait. Grrrrrrrrrrr

Enjoy being pregnant hun its soo hard - I was misdiagnosed with an ectopic at the beginning of this pregnancy and mine too was a cyst that they saw.

Im now over 11 weeks and every day is a struggle but im getting there.

So pleased its not another ectopic. Did they take more bloods?

 

[africaqueen]

Thanks girls.
No they never took anymore bloods. She said they will do that after i have my next scan. I have all the signs of being pregnant and she is happy with the results so far

AQ, I'm so pleased for you. I know it is still unsettling not to see anything, but as you know, it is far too early to see something. The good news is that you made it through one milestone. You got your scan and got good news. Next milestone in 9 days. You can do it!

I also think it is good news that they aren't freaking out and taking bloods or insisting on another scan in a couple of days. Clearly they think it is progressing properly as well. How exciting!

So nice to hear your news it all sounds very positive, you should be able to quite a bit of change in 9 days time. I had one today too and I thought i was 7+1 but in fact I am 6+1 but was able to see bubs with the little heart beating and that will be you soon. Hope its a quick 9 days till the next scan.

Thanks Heart tree
I have been thinking that myself. If there was cause for concern they would be concerned as they were very good last time and it was the same nurse.
She said 'sarah if im not worried, dont u be worried either'. She said she has dealt with lots of ectopics over the years and that this points to a uterine pregnancy of the earliest degree. I pray she is right. I am going to trust them and put my faith in god and wait for great news. It is hard though. I keep being silly thinking they may never be able to see our bean...

Hi hun. Thanks.
They used a Vag US and still nothing. She said they are good but not that good if i only implanted 2wks or so earlier. she is hopeful of seeing something on the next scan and i pray whatever is seen is in my womb xxx

SO very glad to hear this! We are bump buddies! I'm 4 + 4. I have my first appointment on the 15th as well! I don't think they will do a scan, but I'm hopeful I will still be preggers by then (lost my first to a chemical on 4 + 5). I'm very scared, but hopeful at the same time. Let's definitely stay in touch!

Hi! Yes deffo keep in touch! I am also terrified but hopeful too. What a mixed bag of emotions! do u have children already? this is my 2nd pregnancy but we have no kids xxx

 

[chippyslady]

I am totally with you! No kids yet, TTC for #1! It's my second pregnancy after a chemical at the beginning of May. I keep going to the bathroom to check for blood. It's so nerve racking! Sometimes, I can easily tell myself that this is all in God's hands and I can relax, but other times, I am just really scared that this pregancy will end up in a loss too. I'm praying for all of us though!
