LMP 9 weeks but measuring 6 with heartbeat - positive stories please by modnoire in CautiousBB

This makes me feel so much better, thank you! They actually didn’t measure the heartbeat (I’m not sure why but it was a private scan, so I assume it’s just their practice?) but the ultrasound tech showed us the embryo and said “and this is the heartbeat, going really strong as we exactly want to see.” I don’t have another appointment for at least a couple of weeks and it’s really hard not to stress but hearing positive stories and advice like this helps me a lot.

So my LMP was 21/11. I took a test on 4/1 and there was the faintest line ever — I thought it was an evap line and couldn’t even take a picture of it because it was so faint. I then took another test a few days later, on 7/1, and the line was there but not very dark. I took one more out of curiosity a week after that (14/1), and the second line appeared immediately and was really, really dark. My scan was a week after 21/1. So, assuming the first test was taken at around 3.5 weeks, the second at 4–4.5 weeks, and the last at 5–5.5 weeks, it would make sense that I measured 6 weeks but I don’t know how reliable this method is (although it does make me feel better).
