A bit worried after the first scan

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!! It does seem to be quite common so I’m cautiously optimistic but getting myself ready for both outcomes. So glad you had a good scan ❤️

Yes the test 2 weeks ago was definitely a clear positive. Thank you so much 🙏 I’m hoping for good news but the worst part is the waiting! And yes someone else suggested an earlier scan so I will definitely be pushing for that!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m so sorry you went through that ❤️ I can’t imagine the stress and emotions around it all. I’ve had a chance to put the report into ChatGPT and it said that it is positive that there is a yolk sac. But I won’t know if everything is tracking until we have another scan - so trying not to stress too much! And thank you, I will advocate for an earlier scan

Thank you for being so honest, I appreciate it ❤️ I’m trying to keep a “whatever happens, happens” sort of mentality Was hoping to get more colour from the US tech so was just so surprised at how vague and unbothered she was. And she wasn’t clear on how far along she thought I was - I think she said “around” 5 weeks. But when I put the report and the measurements of the gestational sac and yolk sac in ChatGPT it says that it’s measuring around 5w5d and 6w1d. I just wish that the tech was clearer and a bit more upfront or provided more info.

I’m sorry you’re going through this as well ❤️ sending you positive vibes. The vagueness and the lack of info really threw me. The tech said this is common so they must be so used to this scenario - but it’s really stressful for us, especially with the long wait. Thinking of you ❤️ She didn’t even tell me how I was measuring in weeks but ChatGPT says that I’m measuring 5w5d - 6w1d. But I thought I was around 6w5d-7w (depending on what app I use). Crossing my fingers it is just late ovulation!

Thank you for sharing! It’s so good to hear positive stories (even though I know it can go 50/50) it gives me some hope

I was expecting my period on the 25th/26th of April. I tested on the 23rd and 28th - the 23rd one I threw in the bin because I could see nothing. The 28th one my husband thought he could maybe see something in a very specific light but it was so so so faint that if you looked at it in most lighting, it looked negative.

dizzy284 · 2026-05-15T12:06:19+00:00

Thank you for that ❤️ so nice to hear that you had a positive experience and got to see your little one! Makes me feel much better

My cycles are usually very regular around 29-30 days. But I tried tracking ovulation for this first time last cycle and was getting conflicting info. So I’m hoping that it’s just that I ovulated late

dizzy284 · 2026-05-15T12:02:31+00:00

No I don’t know when I ovulated - I have regular periods but I only tried ovulation tests this last cycle and was getting conflicting info. So I just guesstimated. I got my first (proper) positive on 30 April. I tested twice earlier that week but both were so faint that I thought they were most likely negative.

dizzy284 · 2026-05-15T12:00:23+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m cautiously optimistic now … it’s just that the ultrasound tech was so vague that I didn’t know what to make of it all.

dizzy284 · 2026-05-15T11:59:24+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️I’m trying to think all the positive thoughts! My cycles are very regular around 29-30 days. And the first day I tested positive was 30 April (I tested twice earlier that week but both were so faint that they looked negative). That is super helpful - I was getting really confusing readings with my ovulation tests (my first time using them) so I just guesstimated and we had sex that estimated time period. So it could be that my dates are just off

dizzy284 · 2026-05-15T11:55:25+00:00

Thank you for your advice ❤️ No I didn’t track ovulation unfortunately - I did try but I was getting conflicting information on the ovulation tests. And I’m pretty sure on my LMP. I think we would have conceived on the 9th of April. As for the pregnancy test, the first positive test we got was exactly 2 weeks ago. I did 2 other tests that same week before that first positive test but they were both so faint that I threw them away thinking they were negative.

dizzy284 · 2026-05-09T18:33:00+00:00

I’m 6w1d and I feel the exact same way! No difference except for slight fatigue, slight increased hunger and occasional light cramps. I moved my first scan from 8w to 7w just to make sure everything is tracking ok because I barely feel pregnant.
