Ultrasound Today
Sonogram today showed the baby and showed a heartbeat!!!! They couldn't hear it, but the saw it. I am so relieved!!!! I cried again during the sono and afterwards, like a crazy sobbing cry. It looks like according to measurements, I am actually only 6 weeks, not 7. I guess that would explain why my beta numbers seemed low? All in all, it was a good appointment, but I can't end this journal before telling you that my clinic reached an all-time low with its bedside manner today. So the doctor that I like the least was on duty, and he performed my ultrasound instead of the sono tech who usually does it. When he came into the room, I was like, oh no. He speaks very very broken english (chinese is his first language), and his english is so bad that sometimes I really can't understand him and he sometimes even has the nurses translate. So in he walks, and tells me he is doing the scan since yadda yadda something about miscarriage. I start freaking out and said, wait, what?! I gather from what he's saying that since last week they didn't see a baby or see a heartbeat, they were worried today they would see nothing and that I miscarried. He warned me that today they might show this. Luckily, as soon as the wand went in he told me he saw a baby and the heartbeat. I mean, really, I could have done without the m/c warning speech!!!!! Seriously, where is the bedside manner here!? Anyway, I go back in a week. I know today was a good appt, but I don't want to get overly confident here since I know I'm still in a very very risky time period and anything can happen. But, I'm choosing to remain positive and enjoy the fact that things seem to be progressing along well so far. I am soooo hopeful that I have a little fighter in there!!!

I am so happy you had a good appointment today. Your clinic definitely needs some bedside manner training! Grow baby grow!!
Yea, grow embie grow! So happy for you (despite the crappy re). You\'ve totally got the right idea, enjoy today!
Yay for a heartbeat! Boo for a MC warning before the exam started! WTF! But glad things seem to be progressing. Can not wait to hear the good news after the next one!! XOXO
Omg what a dope that Dr is. I\'m sure you have given yourself the speech enough, he doesn\'t need to give it to you also and right before your sono. You most certainly do have a little fighter in there and I can\'t wait to read about your next update/appt!
Thanks everyone! Vanessa, you are totally right, I have given myself \"the speech\" plenty of times, so I really didn\'t need it from the RE again!
Thanks Dr. Sunshine for raining on my friend\'s baby parade. Ugh! I swear you\'d think the professionals in one of the most sensitive professions would get it.
Congrats on seeing the heartbeat.
It really blows my mind how insensitive doctors can be! Sorry you had to go through that, but SO happy everything is looking great :)
Awww great news!
Yes, today was a good appointment so bask in that glory today. Yay!
What a bonejead that RE is, seriously after everything you\'ve been through does he not think you know the risks?!?!? WTF - Anyways, pushing that aside because he is clearly an Asshat, I will move on and say that is FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC That you saw your lil beans heart beat!!! Celebrate and enjoy the moment momma!!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such great news! :)
Yay so happy you saw a heartbeat !!!! Your RE is the opposite of mine that doesn\'t want me to worry for nothing.
Once they see the HB the chances of an mc go way down. Try to enjoy it, you are pregnant.
Hugs
Great news about seeing the heartbeat! The other great news is that you will graduate from your RE and move on to another doctor VERY soon. Yay!!!
Sorry you had to see creepy shitty RE. He always does something stupid I swear. But I am sooooo happy your little bean is looking good and strong. Awesome update!
Yay!!!! See I told you you\'d see a HB today!!!! Congratulations!!!!! And yes they all give that crappy speech, but seriously, I had never seen anyone actually use the MC word in it!
