For those who need this...

I went in for an ultrasound at what I thought was 7 weeks. The tech could only see an empty gestational sac, no yolk sac or fetal pole. She said I was actually measuring 5w6d and it may just be too early to see anything. We rescheduled for +3 weeks to do another US.

I was a nervous wreck everyday while I waited, I just knew I had a blighted ovum. I couldn't wrap my head around how I could be less along than I thought given how early that would have meant I got a BFP (3 weeks).

I spent way too much time googling and even looking for similar experiences in this group, just to try to calm my worry. Most of the time that backfired and had the opposite effect.

Well today was the day, I had our second US. I was over the moon when I saw our little baby and the strong heart beat inside that once empty sac. Such a relief and joy!

So, just because I know I could have used a story like this three weeks ago, here it is for someone else who may need it. ☺️
