I had an appointment this morning and had an internal ultra sound done. It was pretty nerve wrecking because the doctor just sat there the whole time without saying anything to me! My levels have gone from 3406 to 8 thousand and something... so they did rise. The doctor said she could see a normal looking sac in my uterus (not an ectopic pregnancy) and that there was a fetal pole... but it was only measuring 5weeks and 5 days--I'm supposed to be 7 weeks tomorrow!

But here's the thing, I have longer than average cycles (33 days compared to 28 days). And this month I felt a little crampy around days 20/21 of my cycle and some light jabs in my low abdomen about a week later. These are all consistent signs of Ovulation on day 20/21 and implantation a week later! All normal and healthy. With that information, it looks like the baby is measuring right on time... they will just have to move up my due date. But since there are no definites in this and there was no movement or obvious heart beat, they can't tell me anything without having another ultra sound! The doctor put the order in to Radiology. So I have to call tomorrow to find out when the next one will be. It should be within the next 2 weeks. At the next u/s they should be able to tell me whether there is a growing, developing baby in there or if the baby just stopped growing at 5w5d.

Again, I ask for prayers! I am pretty confident that I just Ovulated late so the baby is younger than what we originally thought and still growing beautifully! So please just keep the positive vibes coming our way!! I'll update as soon as I know what is going on:)
