My OB asked to see me on 19/09 thinking I would be 6 weeks and ready for a dating scan. When I arrived, she said based on my HCG levels I was earlier than the date of my period suggests. She figures I'm only 5+4 and not 6+1. No surprises, she can't record a heartbeat on the u/s. Even though I know it's totally expected, it's a little concerning to see a little bean with no heartbeat. Now she wants me back in 2 weeks (when I'll be 7+5) to scan and check the heart rate then.
I know there is nothing that can be done if something goes wrong, but it would have been so nice to hear that heartbeat for some reassurance. She said there was a muscle flicker where it will be, so she figures I'm only a few days off. I wish my appointment was the end of this week instead of yesterday. Might have seen it.
So now I'm even more reluctant to share the news with anyone because it's still so very early and although there is no reason to expect bad news, I haven't got anything to sway me positively either.
So in a nut shell, meh.

Ugh. Waiting is hard. It's so common to be off a few days because most women don't ovulate on CD 14. I think putting the ultrasound at exactly six weeks was setting you up for heartache and uncertainty. Here's hoping the time between now and the next scan flies by!

I'm sorry. I will also be 5+4 (give or take a few days?) for my first appointment on Friday. I'm not sure why she wanted to see me so soon. I've been mentally preparing myself for an appointment that early. I hope you have a better appointment in a couple weeks.

Sorry it was a more reassuring appointment. I'm trying to not be too excited about seeing a heartbeat tomorrow at mine...I think all be 6+1 but I might be off a bit. I know I'll still be disappointed though if it's too soon.
ETA: I meant wasn't a more reassuring appointment....oops!

Waiting sucks. I had a scan about 10 days ago for dating that showed a heartbeat at 6+3, so even later this week could have shown you something. Sorry it was not reassuring. Hope the next couple weeks go quickly for you!

I had my appointment today and am in the same boat as you. I thought I was 6w1d but the ultrasound showed 5w3d. No heartbeat yet either...I go back on October 4th for another one. I hate the waiting game!

I hate the waiting game! Argh I feel your frustration! Hoping it's a busy few weeks that go fast for both of us. I had my first morning of sickness today which reinforced something is happening still, but def holding out to hear that heartbeat. |

Sorry to revive an old thread. Just wanted to share that my scan today was great! Heart rate of 160, little arms and legs flapping about, umbilical cord in a good spot. Happy days. Still measuring at 7w+6d.
Got a referral to do NIPT at 10 weeks. After getting those results back I’ll be far more inclined to share my news. Considering telling my parents this weekend given the good scan though.
