It seems wild but it's definitely possible!!! I'm going in tomorrow for my first ultrasound. I will be exactly 6w1d from lmp which was on 2/3/19. I ovulated on cycle day 18 and we only had sex the two days before O. So I know they can live in there but in your case I guess they are super survivors! Congratulations!!

Good luck tomorrow! How are you feeling? Has morning sickness set in yet? I’m usually so so sick by now but I’m feeling totally great except a little bit tired . I go in again the 25th for another ultrasound and am trying to be prepared for news either way. It’s hard to feel like this is progressing when I’m not sick!

I've never been pregnant before, so not sure what to feel. I did have a CP around the first of the year but it ended very early with no symptoms. This time i'm not feeling any nausea but i am very tired, sore boobs, and hot all the time. I am still taking my BBT and it's remained high since O and even gotten higher over the last couple of days. For the first time i had a tiny bit of brown spotting last night when i wiped. Of course i freaked out, but i read that that is pretty normal? I haven't had any more. My appointment is today at 10. I am a total wreck. I don't know what to expect and my husband can't make it to the appointment because of work so i will be alone. I'm 6w1d today so although logically i know they may not be able to see anything on the ultrasound, i know i will be devastated if they can't see the embryo. I've been praying so hard to see a heartbeat. I'm 41 and high risk due to my age. We had gone to see a fertility specialist at the beginning of last month to start talking about IUI and IVF because we had been trying for 5 months on our own without success. Well somehow we got pregnant on our own and i cancelled the next fertility appointment! I found out on 3/4 with a confirmed HCG on 3/5 and have just been trying to be patient until I could get in for this first appointment. I'll try to update you this afternoon after my appointment. Please think positive thoughts (and if you pray) pray for me! Thank you!!!!!

@cbeal all we saw on ultrasound was a tiny sac but it's too small to measure anything. We went over my dates and she thinks I'm closer to 4 weeks rather than 6 because even tho I got my LMP on 2/3 I didn't ovulate until 2/20. I'm going back in a week for another ultrasound to check again. I was thinking are you sure your period that you had at the beginning of February was your period or maybe it was implantation bleeding and you actually conceived early that you thought? That might explain the mystery of the super sperms...

Very strange, but all sounds possible!! I don't have experience with this, BUT I do know every pregnancy is different!! I've been more nauseous with one pregnancy than my other, so it is very possible you have a perfectly healthy baby!! Especially if your levels are rising so well! Hope your next ultrasound shows that all is well, I'll be thinking of you!!

I've had a missed miscarriage at 19 weeks and a CP 4.5-5 weeks before, so I KNOW how hard it is not to worry about another loss when experiencing them in the past... but really hoping the best for you!

Thank you for your thoughts and words! This baby business is just so much drama isn’t it?! I cannot fathom a MM at 19 weeks - that is unbearable. I’m so sorry. My MM was at 10 weeks and it was rough so I truly cannot fathom. I opted to do cytotec at home and forever regretting not having a d&c . I’ve never experienced pain like that in my life.

I was so sick with my daughter from seriously conception until I was 20 weeks. My two boys I was sick by 5.5 weeks and threw up daily and felt sea sick 24/7 through about 13 weeks.
With my surro baby I had moments of nausea but generally felt pretty great ! Which is so interesting. I literally experienced my friend’s pregnancy and not my own! With this current pregnancy I have not had the crazy smell aversion, cravings, or sickness NEARLY as much. Every day I keep thinking it should hit but it hasn’t. My next ultrasound will be Monday the 25th and if there is a 7 weeker with a HB in there I will legit FAINT . ????????????

5 Myths About Recurrent Miscarriage
THE LAST THING YOU NEED RIGHT NOW IS BAD INFORMATION

In case you're one of the numerous ladies (like me) who has encountered intermittent pregnancy misfortune (RPL), you have most likely heard a great deal of deception about this medicinal puzzle. I realize I did. A few people revealed to me I didn't have to request medicinal help until I lost three pregnancies. Others said in the event that I could simply quit worrying and ingest boatloads of kelp, I'd be ensured a full-term infant. Indeed, even my specialist disclosed to me that I could keep away from future unnatural birth cycles by taking child ibuprofen and progesterone supplements. (Two additional premature deliveries refuted that.

1: You're accomplishing something incorrectly.

2: You should lose three pregnancies straight before observing a specialist.

3: Just take [insert wonder sedate here] and you will be relieved.

4: You should to hold up [insert deplorably lengthy time-frame period] to attempt once more.

5: You will never be a mother.

@cbeal my next ultrasound is also on the 25th. Hoping and praying good news for us both!!!

My doc just called with my HCG result which was 1959 which she said is consistent with what she saw on my ultrasound yesterday and not to worry we are just not as far along as I thought based on LMP and O date!! Keeping fingers crossed and praying for growth at my next scan!

Why don't you think it will be ok? I think you have every reason to expect a positive outcome. You've already seen so much on the ultrasound and those HCG values are so variable from person to person. Also (i've heard cause i'm certainly no expert) that symptoms vary between each pregnancy too. I haven't had any morning sickness and i'm hoping that's not a bad sign! But i do know that my hormones are just now starting to kick in so i might get it soon. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and we can update each other on monday with our results!
