Hello everyone.

Here are the results of the US. They found one gestational sac and a yolk sac but could not detect a heartbeat. The RE was hoping to see more. But he said it could be a little early as I'm at 6w2d. I know the heartbeat can be seen at this time so I'm really bummed out.
I have to go back Oct.2nd. for another US. Nine more days of torture.
I'm dealing with a migraine today so I'm not going to write more.

I hope that you are all doing well...that Renee had her trigger shot last night and is on her way to a BFP!

Much love to all.

Val - Some ladies don't see a HB until after 7 weeks so it still might be a little too early. Hang in there I am sure your little bean is just fine. Sorry they have to wait so long to do another U/S.

Val
I did some research before I said anything more because I dont belive in giving false hope. Everything I read tells me that it really may be too early. I know you probably realize that a HB is detectable at 5.5 weeks, but that is so rare and requires very good sono equipment. If you were at 7 weeks adn heard no HB I would have allot less hope. Even 6.5 weeks can make a huge differnce becaause evry day is so huge as far as growth goes this early on. Your only 6w2d, thats still early.

I know waiting aanother week or so is got to be the friggen worst!! I realize its has to be really tough on your PMA right now, so know how you feel, but this is thetime you have to try extra hard to be positive. You have every right to feel down, but all Im saying is you have evry reason for hope too!

Big Hug girl.......Haang in there
Sending you a HUGE HUG!

val- Don't give up hope yet. I was 6w5days yesterday and they really had a hard time finding the heartbeat. Even when they found it it was really hard to see the baby. It can also have to do with how the baby is positioned.
She had me rolling to one side then the other. It sucks you have to wait 9 more days but this gives your little one more time to grow and be seen. We are all praying for you. Hope your migraine goes away soon. They are never fun. Take care. lots of hugs your way.

Val - sorry to hear about your day today. We had a similar first u/s @ 6w5d for my last BFP so I know that the next 9 days are going to feel like about a year to you. I hope your outcome is better than ours was. Did they measure your hCG? If so you may want to run it by Ghost and see what he thinks. Hang in there hon!

Hey Val- So sorry you couldn't hear the heartbeat. Like all the ladies say -- it is still early! And it's great news that you saw the gestational sac and a yolk sac, and that everything is in the right place (no ectopic).

So keep the PMA and know our thoughts are with you.

slfleming1 - congrats on being an Aunt. That is too funny. My sister had a child last Thursday. On Wednesday they still didn't have a name and my sister was considering Bryce but couldn't think of a middle name. I thought of Bryce Jordan or Bryce James. My BIL was against both because he says there is no BJ's allowed. :lol: They ended up naming their child Tyler James. It is just weird how I came up with the same name.

Good morning girls,

Thank you all for your words of encouragement! You all made me cry. Thank you for caring so much. Yesterday was a really tough day for me and the migraine didn't help at all. I still have a little bit of it and wonder how long my head will keep hurting.
I'm feeling a little more optimistic but very cautious. I just want to see my bean and its heartbeat. I did a lot of research yesterday as well and I know that not everybody sees the heartbeat so soon. The gestational sac looks beautiful though, like a big tear drop. I'll just have to find the patience to wait.

Renee~ Good luck on ER!!! I hope you get all the mature eggs they can get. Let us know how it goes.

SueQiwi~ How are stims going for you? Have you had an US and E2 done? Wishing you the best as a low responder buddy. I know you are going to do great!

Toobee~ I'm sorry you have to deal with such bad ms and OHSS at the same time. Can't be easy. And as much as we want these babies, it's never any fun to go through all that. A couple more days before you see the babies and their heartbeat. YEAH!!!

slfleming~ Congrats on being an aunt! Enjoy your visit with your nephew!

I'm going to head to work otherwise I will fall asleep again. Already took a nap this morning and feel like I could sleep some more.

Have a wonderful day!

Val I just happened to pop in - wanted to see how everyone is doing, and I read your post about not seeing hb yet. If you remember, I went through the same thing, although my situation did not turn out well, yours still can! It is still early! I will really be praying hard for you in these next days - one of us has to get it this time, okay? I related to you so much, and our circumstances were so similar - all I can say is I am really pulling for you. Hang in there and stay positive.

Val~Do not despair--your bean is safe in there! Keep the good thoughts flowing beacuse I know you will see a healthy heartbeat next time. We are all with you--feel the hope flowing!

Renee~I am so excited that you triggered! Good luck at egg retrieval! Let us know how it goes--I am hoping you get tons of healthy eggs.

I am still stimming along. The meds are giving me headaches and making me cranky--but I feel so hopeful this time! I will have my first bloodwork on Saturday (Friday for you guys--we are a day ahead!) I just keep visualizing a dozen healthy eggs!

Hey ladies, great news on my beta today. Given the doubling every 48 hours rule, I expected it to be at least 3600. Well, it was 9383! I feel like I'm just on the verge of morning sickness. I may have to take a quick business trip before my US next week and I'm rather nervous about administering these doubled PIO doses to myself.

Renee - woohoo! Hope the ER went well. Do keep us posted.

SueQiwi - the stims will be done and you'll be at ER before know it.

Hope all is well for the rest of you ladies!

Kerpupples~ WOW !! That's fantastic news!. I hope those double PIO shots go without a hitch. You are one brave woman to do that. I CAN imagine what your butt looks like. Did you transfer two embryos?

JDC~ Thank you for checking on me, thanks for your kind words. I was thinking about you today and what you went through. I hope I get to see that gorgeous heartbeat too.
How are you doing? Are you going to start another cycle?
I feel close to you too as our situations were so so similar.

SueQiwi~ Can't wait to hear about your baker's dozen!! I know the are growing strong in there.
Thank you...I feel the hope flowing. I'm talking to my little beanie and cheering him on. That I know he's in there growing strong and that he will show his pretty face and his strong heartbeat. I hope I can keep that same attitude every day up until then. I can't change or do anything else.
So I will choose to be optimistic and put all the chances on my side.

We haven't heard from a lot of ladies...Amanda, JJJake, Stefanie, Hoping4. I hope you are all doing well during your pregnancy.

Chris~ Thank you so much for sticking around...that's absolutely wonderful! I hope the wait is not long. But it will be so worth it as I see a BFP in your near future!

The baby is screaming for food as my dinner is just about ready.


Much love and tons of hugs to all! :D
