HollyDay Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 As I recall, I could not see a great deal at 6 weeks. I have not had a molar pregnancy, but mine were high risk, complicated and I've had miscarriages. I share this so that you know I do empathize with you..... Both my hcg and progesterone levels were so high with my first dd, the docs did a couple ultrasounds looking for twins! She is 14 now....

I am a little nervous because I had a molar pregnancy earlier this year. I don't know about HCG levels, but here's my u/s pic at about 6 weeks. Not much to see for the untrained eye, however, we could actually see and hear the heartbeating in that little tiny speck :) It was very encouraging after two miscarriages. http://seasonsoflearning.blogspot.com/2010/07/here-i-am.html Good luck tomorrow!

Wendi Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I think at 6 weeks all you'll see is a pulsating white lima bean. That's what my ds looked like the first time we saw him, which was around 6-7 weeks. I hope your ultrasound shows all is well! Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I don't know about the numbers either, just wanted to send a :grouphug: your way. You've been through a lot this year. I hope the ultrasound is full of wonderful news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancollins Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thank you all for your support and prayers! I really love having this great group of women to come to for advice! Tina were you 6 weeks exactly on the ultrasound or 6 weeks and a few day! Thanks Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 You should probably be able to see, as someone said here, a little pulsating heart. As for hcg numbers (and I used to know more about those when we were in IF tx), alot would depend on what your first beta was as far as your numbers doubling (or more) every 2.3 days. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 We had a mc too...so I can empathize. Numbers seem to be in the normal range if that's helpful....but DON'T RELY ON THAT. At six we saw a bean w/a tail, lol. Definitely could see a heartbeat. Praying....keep us posted!!:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*~Tina~* Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Tina were you 6 weeks exactly on the ultrasound or 6 weeks and a few day!

susancollins Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thank you all your prayers and kindness are so dear to my heart.

Osmosis Mom Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thank you all for your support and prayers! I really love having this great group of women to come to for advice! Tina were you 6 weeks exactly on the ultrasound or 6 weeks and a few day! Thanks Susan I have been 5 weeks and able to see the small rice-speck and see heartbeat. Also, about this far along when I saw it with my twins. I have had several pregnancies when I got this early u/s. Will be thinking about you, Susan.

Jennifer in MI Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I was able to see a heartbeat at exactly 6 weeks. I'd been having bleeding and after three miscarriages, I was SO scared. But, she's now 4 1/2 years old!! They did tell me that I may not be able to see a heartbeat yet at that point yet. So, if you don't see one, don't panic yet!:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancollins Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 They were able to see fetal pole and embryo. I am measuring 5 weeks and 6 days! We didn't see a heartbeat but the doctor thinks everything looks encouraging and he wanted me to come back in on the 29th but I will be on my cruise .I will be coming back in on the 6th of December! Please keep the baby and I in your prayers. What gestational age did most of you see a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) I am fuzzy on this, but I don't think I've ever seen a heartbeat before 6 weeks (many pregancies). With the twins (most recent pregnancy) we saw what you just saw at just under 6 weeks and then saw the heartbeats at 7 weeks and maybe one or rwo days. If I wrack my brain, I would have to say that with all pregnancies, we saw heartbeats between 7 and 9 weeks. Twin pregnancy was monitored more closely b/c of my progesterone levels. Thoughts and prayers - sounds to me like you are doing great! Edited November 18, 2010 by MariannNOVA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancollins Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thank you Mariann and all the others for prayers! Please continue to pray for the baby and I . Thanks Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Yippee!!!!! That's VERY encouraging! I remember my midwife did not want me to come in until after I was six weeks along because we may not see a heartbeat until then. I was just 6 weeks when I came back in and we did see it! And, on a happier note, where are you going on your cruise!!?? We LOVE cruising!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancollins Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 We are going on our cruise November 28, through December 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Will they not give you another u/s, say Wednesday? I know how much I worried, that is why I am asking. I actually went to a local clinic, it was a spinoff of the Right to Life clinics that were around in the 90's. They did a free u/s. Just a thought to give you peace of mind. I know I saw a heartbeat after m/c at 6 weeks, 5 days. Will keep you in prayer. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
