First let me start with saying that I am so p***ed off at DH. I know he worked to 16 hour shifts and a 12 hour shift this weekend, but he knew I wanted him to go with me to my u/s appt. He didn't get home off work until 3 am and my appt was at 9:30. I couldn't get him up. Not sure if I will be speaking to him for awhile.


I started crying before they even started the u/s. I was there all alone. It sucked. I couldn't even really look at the u/s screen. She said there is a hb. I looked at the screen after she left the room and it said 107 bpm and my edd is June 8th instead of the 7th (what I had calculated). She said my gestational sac is irregular shaped and showed me on the screen. I didn't ask for an u/s picture and she didn't give me one so I can't post it. It wasn't completely round. It kind of curved in a little on one side. She also said I have a pretty good size cyst on my right ovary. (That is the side I have been having more pain on.)


That is basically all she told me. Just said she didn't like the way my sac looked. They didn't have an opening for me to see the dr. today so I have one scheduled for Wednesday. I am hoping that they will call when he gets there this afternoon to fit me in.


Well, that is pretty much it. I am pretty sure that I can rule out complete molar pregnancy since there was a hb.

Has anyone had problems with an irregular shaped gestational sac?

[Mommy2Madisen]

I really hope everything is ok, I feel for you! I'm a little nervous about getting pregnant after a PMP, especially since I'm going against dr advice.

Have you done any research online to see if its a "serious" problem that you have a irregular shaped sac? I don't know much about it, but I truly hope everything is okay!!

[MeganMomof5]

I'm sorry your DH didn't go with you...I've BTDT

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about irregular shaped sacs...I'll keep you in my prayers...I hope they can get you in soon for an appointment.

[funnygal]

Oh, I'm so sorry your dh didn't go with you today. That was mean... I don't know anything about an irregular shaped sac, but I'm holding out for you. I hope your dr. calls soon and that you can get in and talk to them about everything.

[*~ Joni ~*]

Fingers crossed for you! It seems like I've seen lots of u/s pictures with sacs that aren't perfectly round I'll go look for some. Anyway, sorry about your DH not going. He'll regret it, especially when this baby is perfectly healthy and he missed the first u/s

[okiliz]

I totally understand your fear of a first ultrasound and I would kick my hubby's butt if he missed it.. Believe me I deal with that a lot, my husband is a marine and has missed a few appointments :-( .. I do not know anything about PMP but I had a loss(twins ) 4 months ago and this is our first cycle trying with help since the loss.. I have already informed hubby that he WILL be there for the ultrasound 2 weeks or so after our IUI.. and he WILL be.. had better be.. :-) anyway, wishing you tons of luck , sticky healthy baby dust :-)

[Halfbaked]

I'll have to dig up some of my us pics when I'm home. I thought It was totally normal to be kidney bean shaped, thus the reason we call them beans.
I'm sorry about your dh. It must be a guy thing. My dh has done the same thing. I hope you get more promising news from your dr. Kup

It's normal for the baby, but not really for the gestational sac.


I'm sorry your husband didn't go with you Lisa! I make my DH go with me to all my first ultrasounds, so I'd be really angry if he missed one.

I can't answer your question about the sac, since I haven't had an ultrasound that early. My earliest was 7 1/2 weeks with Erin, and so the sac shape didn't really matter.

I hope that your bean's heartbeat remains strong! It's early for seeing a heartbeat, so that's a good sign!

[tobi4]

Lisa, I agree with you, you should be mad. With everything you and DH have been through, it should be HIM being motivated to go to the ultrasound. He had no idea what the outcome of todays u/s would be and he should have been there to support you whether it was good or bad news.
Thats one of the requirements I have to ttc. My partner best be as involved in all of the prenatal/ttc stuff as I am, or it wont be happening. Equal partners. I hate that sometimes its left up to the woman! Its his baby too, just because we carry it, doesnt mean it becomes solely a womans responsibility!!
Men are so selfish sometimes.

[martilynne]

I would be mad at DH too, shame on him! I don't know much about irregular shaped sacs but I thought I'd show you my u/s from my pregnancy now at 6 weeks, he measured 5w6d at that scan and his heart rate was around 105 bmp if I remember correctly. I was nervous about the shape of the sac at the time too but it obviously wasn't a problem as I'll be 30 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I also had a cyst on my right ovary that was bigger than the baby for my first few scans...it is gone now


I hope that your appt goes well and thank goodness that this isn't a full molar pregnancy! Congrats on seeing the heartbeat!!!

[TTCin2010]

I hope all goes well.

[Celena]

I *think* that the sac is ok because they dont neccisarily have to be perfectly round ya know? If it were to looks like a deflated balloon with no heartbeat then I'd be worried kwim (that's called a pseudosac)... it's good that y'all saw a heartbeat already! I think that if anything you can call your doctor's office to see what they said, tell them how conccerned and upset you are then they might give you some more info before wednesday. Or beg them yo have your doctor call you because with your history you're terrified.

I know with my ectopic I had 2 sacs one in my left tube and one in my uterus that looked like a deflated balloon which is weird a few days before it was perfectly round and we saw the bean in there.

[Halfbaked]

Ok, Here are the early u/s pics I have. I didn't get one until 9 weeks with my first but all the others are there

This one is 5w2d, they told me I was probably going to miscarry, but I didn't. No HR yet


This one is 5w4d, no HR yet


This one is 5w4d as well. You can see the sac isn't even close to round but they say a HR of 95


This one is 6w1d, You can see the HR there. 117


And this one is 6w exactly. It's very kidney bean shaped. I don't know what the HR was


The baby just looks like a blob in all of them and the sacs are all different shapes but they all turned out fine. Honestly, unless there was no heartbeat, or even no fetal pole, I wouldn't worry.

[LisaG825]

Thanks ladies.

Nurse called back and said dr. said everything looks fine for as early as it is. I have an appt. with him on Wed. so I can actually ask him in person about the sac and everything.

Like I said, we can rule out complete molar, but partial molar we can't.


I am still mad at dh. I am not even going to tell them what they said. If he asks, I am going to tell him if he wants to know anything then he can come to the appt. on Wed to find out.

[msshamis23]

Awh Lisa. *hugs* I would be really angry at my DH too.

When I was pg with my ex, he worked early mornings and got off early enough that I could make a doc app for afterwards so he could come too. I always made sure that I did that. But even so, he would get off work and take a nap, completely forgetting the apps.

It's hard--and this is going to be the same song sung for years and years, and to still be sung for years to come. Communication. Though you may not want to talk to him, let him know how frickin p*ssed you are!

[LisaG825]

Amy- He knows how mad I am. I called him an a**hole on my way out and slammed the door. Needless to say our clock is in a bunch of tiny pieces on the floor. I know he worked a ton this weekend 44 hours in 3 days. He should have gone right to bed when he got home about 3:30 (instead of after 5) or he should have stayed up til the appt.

[ldovey83]

Lisa I am glad that the ultrasound went well and your DR said everything looks great.. That is great news..

As for your DH I don't blame you one bit. I would be madder then mad.. HUGS...

[ohnicole]

Lisa I am so glad that the u/s went so well!! Celebrate a little, honey

As for your DH, I know how frustrating that can be. My DH missed my follow up appt after my D&C because he forgot about it and left his phone at home that morning so I couldn't reach him. Needless to say, I was FURIOUS, and I don't think I spoke to him without screaming for days. Hopefully he will get the picture and you guys can talk it out eventually. It really sucks when they aren't there for you

[RoadToDallas]

Yay !! Haooy everything is okay, and im mad atmy SO also. my appointment was supposed to be today and because of him i had to reschedule , got into an argument and all.!! UGGH i was so upset and im not speaking with him either.. BUTT im soo happy everything is going good

My DH works a lot too and works strange hours. He does the exact same thing!!! I never will understand! He will get outta work at 3:00am but will stay up watching ESPN until 5:30am!! I know how you feel, that was a very important and big day for you guys. I hope he says he's sorry!
