My u/s

..Red.. · #1 January 16th, 2009, 04:19 PM

I finally was able to post about my u/s. I guess that my betas went up because they left the monitor on so I could watch this time. Again it was vaginal, so in with the wand. I just hate the gooey feeling you get after them. Ugh.

Anyhow, she sticks in the wand and there is very little to see. I mean I didn't see what was seen last time, but this was like a slightly flattened jellybean. Not much to see at all. I started to feel my heart sink. I said it doesn't look very good does it. She measured the sac to see if there was growth, but didn't say whether or not she saw any..

But then she says, but you know, I think I see a little flicker. So she zooms into this little booger thing inside the jellybean. And there it goes. Flick Flick Flick.... It was measuring 118-119 bpm. She said that's typical for just starting out. I don't know. I did just read something about early prognosis and hb, but since I don't really know the real gestation I am not going to get siked out.

I got one picture, but again it doesn't look like much. I'll try to scan it in tonight and post it.

YAY for a h/b!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you, I been waiting for an update from you all day, I'm happy that you were able to see the h/b. You are pretty early, so there isn't much to see, my first u/s wasn't much either, I could just see something on the screen but it was very hard.
I'm so happy for you!
