Hi ladies. I'm around 7+2 today, and I had a doctor's appointment because I had GD last pregnancy and she wants to monitor it from the very beginning this time. I figured we would just go over my blood sugars so far, but when I got in the room, the nurse said the doctor wanted to do an ultrasound, too.
As my doc was doing the scan (transvaginal), she kept probing around and couldn't see anything. I started to get really nervous, as it seemed like she was searching everywhere and there was just nothing! No sac, no fetal pole, nothing! She said we were going to have to do a quantitative hcg test, since she couldn't find anything. I swear it was like 5 minutes of dread and thinking the worst before she put the probe down and palpated my abdomen, and then she basically said "Oh, I can feel your uterus already! It's just too high." So she pushed down on my uterus and tried again and lo and behold, there was a sac with a little beany and quick little flickering heartbeat, measuring just what it should. No quant test for me! I think my uterus has just popped a little early, probably because I just had a baby 8 months ago.
Now, though I'm so relieved, I still feel kinda shaky and bad... Even though everything is probably fine, it just... kinda tainted everything, you know? Has anyone else ever had an experience like this? I feel stupid for still being worried...
