@FlamingoGirl13. I really do appreciate all the advice as talking about it helps. I will keep telling myself that things are fine and that there is nothing to worry about.

@Beaut1ful38. I really hope things are well with the baby for when you go back in. How are you feeling otherwise?

FlamingoGirl/ sorry typing fast on my phone. Ok so she did a ultrasound she saw the fluid sac then over some was another black spot she said well that looks like it could be it. But I don’t understand why the fluid was over some and then a spot. So she wants me to come back next week to see the progress.

Dragonfly- I’m feeling fine just scared. Let me see if I can post a good pic it’s hard to see

Ok so left of pic (but middle) with some crosses she said could be baby ...next to it is fluid sak. She and I.m are thinking to early and the fluid she couldn’t see very well bc it’s early. which was hard for her to see from the beginning She kept moving all around. What do you think? I don’t even want to think the worse. I have no symptoms of eptopic pregnancy. Don’t even want to say that word!!!

Hi beautiful, that looks like a normal healthy pregnancy sac for gestational age! I see the fetal pole and what could possibly be the yolk sac. The small amount of fluid is called free fluid and is not a concern, your body will absorb it. Congrats!!! Pretty soon you’ll be able to see the heartbeat, although right now it’s too early.

Photomama- thank you so much. You just made me feel relaxed now. I have been googling all kind of things trying to match. Which will just stress me out I know. But I am actually calm right now after reading a lot of others going through the same on other previous old posts from different websites, but then the worring kicks back in. DH says let’s not talk about it bc he was getting emotional now. So I started researching on my own. I do feel like everything is fine!! Just have to wait for wed ultrasound. I will be 6wks and 2days then. We should see something for sure then right?

@Beaut1ful38. I don't know how to read ultrasounds but if photomamma is right and I am sure she is, then there is no need to worry. I know, its easy said then done; look at me, I'm a worry wart lol. I moved my ultrasound appointment to Tuesday as I am worried that something might be wrong but I am sure everything is fine and have worried myself for nothing.

I was a fertility nurse for a long time so I have some experience with ultrasounds in relation to gestational age but I’m definitely not a diagnostician :)I now work in Neurosurgery but am hoping to find an L&D job! :) So anyway, free fluid is very common in early pregnancy, as well as little cramping pains. Nothing to be concerned about unless you’re seeing bright red bleeding.
I cannot say definitively that you will for sure see the heartbeat at 6w2d. Most doctors expect to see it at the 7 week apt. Chances are you’ll probably see it, though it is a bit on the early side so I’d either reschedule a couple days later, or just go in next week knowing 6w2d is early.

@Flamingogirl I ovulate approximately cd 15 on average

I attached my daughter’s first 5 week ultrasound if you look really close you can see a little line which ended up being the fetus. I had
free fluid as well and it went away. (The small black blob was the gestational sac, the tiny little line was the fetal pole. The u shaped little blob was free fluid)

Photomama- thank you for sharing yours. I think I see what your saying. I thought of changing my appt to 7th week. But she did put me at High risk pregnancy so I am thinking maybe just follow her schedule. I will just go in that day knowing that I might not be able to hear the heartbeat just yet.
I hope you do get a job at L&D!!!

@photomamma. Thank you for sharing your daughter's ultrasound and sharing some information about cramping and bleeding. I wish I could read those as I see the black circle but other than that, I can't see the fetus pole or the free fluid.

@Beaut1ful38. How are you feeling this morning? Feeling a lot better today about things?

As for me, I woke up numerous times throughout the night and super tired this morning. Thank goodness day is my Friday and I am thinking of taking the Tuesday off so I will have a 5 day weekend and Tuesday is my ultrasound at 8:30. I am feeling a lot better since Monday with things, I just hope the chills goes away soon. Also noticing that my nipples are getting sore so that's a good sign I think that things are progressing smoothly.

It's nice to have your knowledge in here photomama. I see the gestational sac in both of the ultrasounds you ladies have shared but can't make out free fluid of fetal pole. I've never seen ultrasounds this early in a pregnancy so I find that quit exciting. I hope you are feeling reassured Beaut1ful. I'm glad you are getting a long weekend dragonfly! It sounds like fatigue is setting in for you, which is also a positive pregnancy sign!

I started taking EPO last night. The bottle says to take 3 a day so I'll try and do that. I'll definitely take 2. I'm interested to see how it changes my cm.
