Nervous Wreck w/Updates

[Harris06]

I am a nervous wreck, once again. So I had my first u/s and it was not what I expected. I was measuring 6 weeks but the tech said that she thought that I was more like 5. Let me interject here that they did not do a transvaginal but a regular abdominal ultrasound. They had me drink 32oz of water an hour before so that my bladder was full and they did an abdominal one. Ok so the yolk sac showed up, she said that everything looked good. I was not able to see the screen but DH told me that although you could see the sac you could not see anything else. Also, there was no heartbeat. I was upset on the way home but I shook it off because we were going on vacation this past weekend and leaving that day; we just had to run home and pick up the dogs and we were off. Anyway, so I had a good weekend, keeping positive and all, and I called today and left a message with the doctor that I had a couple questions regarding my u/s last Thursday. About an hour ago I got a call (call back I am not sure) that they got my u/s results and want me to come in on Friday for another u/s to detect the heartbeat. That is all that was said and it was the nurse I guess who called (the girl to took my info last week and myurine) and told me that so I didn't ask her my questions because the way that she was talking I don't think that she would have known. So here I am trying to stay positive but am going crazy because I not only have not had a super lot of symptoms but at an u/s where I was measuring 6 weeks there was no heartbeat. *sigh* I want to cry like my daughter is doing right now. I have not had any cramps, bleeding, nothing like that so I don't think that I should really worry just yet but in the back of my mind....

Oh and I am going tomorrow to get my blood work done so I guess that will help too? *sigh* I am making myself sick.

UPDATE: The doctor just called me back from the message that I left this afternoon and she said there is nothing to worry about at this point and everything looked good. She said that there was a yolk sac and there WAS an embrionic pole *whew* and that everything looked good. She said that I was exactly 6 weeks and no days so it was probably too soon for a heartbeat (That puts me at 6wks4days today and 7 weeks on Friday at my u/s). They sent me to the hospital across the street for the u/s because she said that sometimes they can't get women a timely appt with their u/s tech so since I was sent to radiology over there they are not allowed to read the results and all so that is probably why the tech was being vague. All in all, I do feel better, a little nervous still but not nearly as bad as I was. I am always such an optomistic person until I get pregnant and then I go crazy. haha I drive myself crazy so I am sure all my worrying drive DH crazy too. haha 

UPDATE: Well today, 10/16, was my ultrasound and we got a heartbeat!! WOO HOO!! I was SO relieved! This ultrasound was done at my doctors office with their tech as opposed to at the hospital in radiology and it was a MUCH better experience! She showed me everything, made sure that I could see the screen, did a transvaginal (thank goodness! I told her that they just did an abdominal at the hospital and she was like "Well that's why they couldn't see anything" like, "duh!" haha), and answered all of my and my husbands questions, she was the kind of tech I am used to and love. So we saw the baby, which looks like a jellybean, and the heartbeat, which was 131 bpm. Since she was able to actually measure the baby it turns out that I am 6 weeks and 5 days (I told my husband that I feel like I am never going to get out of "week 6" because they keep pushing me back. LOL) which makes my due date June 5, 2009 (thanks for not kicking me out!! If it makes any difference my daughter came 2 weeks before her due date so this one very well may too!! LOL). I feel MUCH better!
