thank you ladies. My scan wasn't till 7pm (it's 11 now) and I've been so rushed off my feet but wanted to come and update you all (and for any distant future visitors to the thread)She had barely got the scanner on my belly and about 5 seconds later she said "there's your baby and there's the heartbeat". I was just stunned!!
I was so scared and dejected going in. She didn't even need to do internal.I'll upload a picture in a minute so you can see, but (although the picture was a lot more grainy than transvaginal) there was the yolk sac, and a whacking great baby right next to it that was about the same size as the yolk sac! Flickering away. I shed a little tear, and she called my husband into the room to see, I had asked him to wait outside with our son in case it was bad news and I got upset.
So, of course I feel amazing. She did say the baby was measuring around 4 days behind, which is just not possible unless I got my BFP at 4DPO... But I have updated my mental timeline by putting it 3 days back but we'll hopefully get a better idea at the 12 week scan. So I'm now 6+2, and while I wish the baby weren't measuring small, obviously I'm walking on sunshine that it's alive and got a good heartbeat (she didn't say how much just that it was good and I DID NOT ASK - I have had way too much information so far and done too much googling! I know if she told me a heartbeat I would've convinced myself by now that it's too slow etc).
Thank you all for listening to my anxious venting. I am still being cautious about this as we all are in first tri, but it's cautiously optimistic now... Within 5 days we went from a yolk sac + nothing on a transvaginal to a yolk sac and big blinking baby on an abdominal.
congrats!! Wishing you the happiest and healthiest 9 months.
