I’ve had a very stressful beginning of the year. We found out we were pregnant mid/late January.

A moment when I should have been ecstatic was actually crushing. Last September/October I had an Ectopic pregnancy and had to take Methotrexate to terminate it.

I thought my tube was damaged and that I wouldn’t be able to have a normal pregnancy. I told my doctor about the positive result and my fears so she scheduled me a early dating ultrasound sound at 7 weeks.

I was terrified. I was starting to get cramping and hadn’t had proper morning sickness or any helpful symptoms outside of sensitive nipples.

I waited and waited for the day. Finally it came and I had this horrible sinking feeling.

We were 7 weeks so I read up on what was expected and I was hoping to hear a hear beat and see the fetal pole.

When we were getting the ultrasound done I remembered that the technician can’t tell me anything and has to send the report to my Dr and I would not have result for another week. 😿

She turned on the sound to listen for a heart beat and nothing. I was devastated.

She left so I could get changed and I just broke down. She came back in and saw me crying. Then she did the most human thing.

“I am not a doctor and I can’t tell you anything concrete but everything seems normal. The sac is in the uterus. You’re just very early.”

It’s not ectopic!!!! I couldn’t have felt more relieved. Still bummed I didn’t hear a heart beat but so happy with the results.

I asked for the photos to be emailed to me which they were. Looks like I wasn’t 7 weeks but I am 6 weeks which pushes my due date to October.

I am still waiting to hear the official report from my doctor and likely need to go back for another ultrasound in two weeks to ensure there is a pole and heart beat.

I am so relieved it isn’t ectopic and I can’t wait to hear our little dumpling in two weeks!
