I am 5w3d today and went in for my first prenatal visit. I mainly wanted bloodwork done to make sure my levels were ok but since doctors go by your last period that would date me to 6w3d and of course wanted to do an ultrasound. I KNOW that I am 5w3d because I never had a 28 day cycle and my period are somewhat irregular so I have been using OPKs to track ovulation so I know what day I ovulated which is the most accurate when it comes to dating. After she did the ultrasound she said she couldn’t see a heartbeat and that I most likely am about to miscarry since the ultra sound machine was measuring me at 6w4ds and how there should be a heartbeat. She told me before I decide what to do to come back in a week for another ultrasound. Decide what to do?!

Luckily for me I have been on these forums reading all of your experiences and have seen this happen quite a few times where there was no heartbeat but it was actually just too early to see one and you ladies would go back weeks later to find one after all! I was actually mentally preparing myself for this to happen and even told my husband about it before the doctor came into the room. My husband was actually really annoyed and told me he wished we never even came to this appointment since it seemed pointless. Plus on top of it all she didn’t run any bloodwork because I guess she is convinced it’s not a viable pregnancy. I will not be coming back to this doctor anyways for many other reasons of why I wasn’t happy with her but my husband and I are determined to stay positive that it’s just too early and everything will be ok. I’m so happy we have each other going through the same experiences to learn from.
