Ultrasound!

Ultrasound June 18 2008

Funny isn’t it, how an ultrasound can change everything. We thought we were 8w6d today, however, on an ultrasound I am 7w3d. Now, the technician said that it was too large of a gap for her to have made an error, or for it to be something wrong with the little one.

So, we conceived 10 days later in our cycle; which ties in with my counting of days anyway. I wasn’t sure if we were having a 28 day cycle or a 38 day one so we covered all our bases, hehe.

Adjusted due date is the 1st February.

The heartbeat is more than 160bpm and the technician said that she could see no reason whatsoever to worry about viability.

So now that just begs the question, how the fuck did I get a positive pregnancy test, seeing as how I wasn’t using an early, sensitive test; and seeing as how I actually tested 9 days past ovulation; 5 days before my period was actually due.

I can only attribute it to higher than normal HCG levels, but I haven’t had a Beta done, so who knows.

    cool.

    I dunno how you got a positive result that early either. Pregnancy tests never worked for me before 7 weeks!

    Congratulations – this is wonderful news.

    Forget the dates I had 5 days difference on early u/s between my non identical twins conceived by IVF at almost the exact same time.

    When I had my ultrasound- at 7-8 weeks and later on is was up to week. They are talking mm’s still.

    Yay for a heartbeat

    PS uterus’s always look weird on ultrasounds – and with bladders and other squishy bits pushing them out of shape don’t worry your pretty head – it’s all normal.

    Yay! Congratulations! It’s all so exciting!

    I remember with James they were always off by at LEAST a week whenever I had an ultrasound from the last ultrasound before that…crazy cycling does not make it easy to predict due dates. =)

    By the way, my latest post is definitely inspired by your pregnancy test post, that one got me thinking a lot! πŸ˜‰
