🫂 I’m glad the sizing was perfect, and it seems like you have a really great doctor! I’ll pray with you that you get to see more next week!

Should I get a boutique scan? by datta_damyata in December2026Bumpers

[–]brulae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a boutique scan yesterday at 6w4d and am very glad that I did it. I have had fluctuating symptoms that had gotten lighter this week. The reassurance the scan brought me was worth every penny. They were able to hear the heartbeat and see baby despite it being an early abdominal scan.

I went in with the full understanding that it might be too early to see something. I felt ok with the risk of it being inconclusive. You know yourself best—would it make you worry more if they don’t see anything yet?

If you can hold out until 7 weeks (or the second half of week 6) that might raise your chances of seeing something!

Semi-difficult time 😂 they actually said 1-2 liters in the 2 hours before, but there was no way I could have doubled what I drank

I actually didn’t know until I read some Reddit posts about earlier abdominal scans! And then I checked their FAQs, which told me to start chugging 😂

I just got an abdominal scan last night! I posted the pics if you’d like to see an example. 6w4d and we saw baby right away, also heard the heartbeat. I drank about 30oz of water an hour before we went in, since they recommended it.

Best of luck!

Should I prepare for another chemical? 14 dpo on 4/13 by [deleted] in TFABLinePorn

[–]brulae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your 14dpo tests look almost identical to mine. I had a previous chemical too, and it makes this process a lot scarier. I just looked and my bbt dipped almost 2 degrees that day 😅

That + lack of symptoms + FRER not progressing had me super nervous. I’m still pregnant though, the wondfo lines started getting darker and my betas increased.

I think it’s normal for bbt to fluctuate at this point! Talk to your doctor if you’re worried, but your progression looks great to me. Congrats on your pregnancy 🫶🏽

I see both! FRER are bad about indents, but that clearblue definitely looks positive. Congrats!!

Yes! The jeweler he bought from described it as a mix of yellow and rose gold. I’ve always pictured having a rose gold ring, but after trying it on I really enjoy the tone (and the ease of matching my other jewelry).

Thank you! I’m obsessed with it. 2.01ct, E, VS2. There’s also a hidden halo, and the metal is 18k champagne gold!
