@DesertDreams88: I am so sorry that the dates aren't matching up. I don't blame you for being worried, and I'm annoyed your OB isn't listening to you. I hate how they discount charting and opks, and in this case your positive tests too. That being said, I think it's possible the US measuresments could be a little off, as just a mm means several days. I will cross my fingers and toes for you.

ETA: do you have a link to your chart? Was 11dpo the first day you tested?

@Hilsy85: No fetal pole. She mentioned something about a yolk sac, but it didn't look like any yolk sac I've ever seen ... to me they look like a bubble, and on my US, it was just a tiny black spot.

Thanks for the crossed fingers, ladies.

Also, I know I'm not supposed to trust the digital Clearblue weeks estimators, but... it said 1-2 weeks at 11 DPO, and 2-3 weeks 6 days later, but I've been stuck at 2-3 weeks now for about 10 days. I haven't ever seen a 3+, even though I should be 4 weeks in by now... 3 weeks in, by the Ob/gyn's dates.

@DesertDreams88: yep, I'd agree you ovulated on the 22nd...maaaybe the 23rd if the slightly higher temp on the 23rd was a fluke.

CBE 3+ is supposed to equate to 5 weeks+ pregnant...so it matches your scan but not your chart. That being said, I think the threshold is about 2200 Hcg in your urine, which I think equates to about 3000 in your blood...which is kind of a high threshold. I would lose the CB tests at this point and wait on your betas. Maybe if you call tomorrow, they will tell you what it was today?

I had a mc at 7.5 weeks. i had an ultrasound early in the day and then miscarried that night. I already suspected something was wrong because I was spotting and while my betas were going up, they were taking too long to double. They didn't show me the ultrasound screen, but mumbled something about being too small for my dates. They basically said it didn't look great, but it was early and I shouldn't give up hope. I hope you have a better outcome.

Anyone have lower back pains? Even if I've been sitting for awhile, it's still really sore. I don't know if it's coincidence or what?

@DesertDreams88: So, the ultrasounds have up to a week margin of error. And, just like babies have growth sprouts on the outside, they can have growth sprouts inside where they grow a super lot in one week, or hardly any growth during the week and it evens out if that makes sense. You're still within that margin of error. I totally think you're accurate with your dates too. Babe may just be all snuggled up and hadn't hit that growth spurt yet! Especially if your doctor wasn't concerend (of course they're not always right), but the fact you're still within that margin of error is promising!

@dc yoga bee: Oh man. I might try Bengay then? It seems to start just as the end of the day. It gets achy.

@Eko: YES!! I was just coming here to post this. Today I feel like I have zero morning sickness at all, and I'm kind of panicking!

@Eko: I know I'm kind of in the same boat of thinking. I googled (naughty me!!) and it said that it's common in the 1st trimester to have symptoms come and go, and that some days you have good days, and sometimes you have bad days!

@Eko: @MrsBrewer: Mine come and go based on how full my stomach is. I ate a bunch of mashed potatoes last night before bed and drank coconut water. After a night of peeing, I finally felt gross after getting ready in the morning. My morning sickness is bad in the morning and late at night.

@Eko: For me, it's definitely based on stomach for me. I'm avoiding cow's milk right now since I seem to be lactose intolerant this time around.

@MrsBrewer: That stinks seeing that. I am sure it will be fine! Lots of ladies have had spotting in their pregnancies and have had healthy babies. FX for you!!!

@MrsBrewer: I am sure it is!!!

@MrsBrewer: I had spotting for one afternoon last week but then it went away. Hoping yours is the same and is nothing to stress about!

@MrsBrewer: Spotting is SO stressful. Definitely call your doc and see what she/he says. Maybe they can do an ultrasound or betas to reassure you? Keep us posted. Thinking good thoughts for you.

@Eko: Yeah, I am the same way... too much or too little food and I feel worse. Though today, I feel especially crappy for no reason...I took the unisom/b6 last night, slept well, and still I've thrown up 3x already. Blech. I sort of remember weeks 8-10 really sucking in the m/s department last time, so hopefully it will be short lived and then start to get a little better.

@MrsBrewer: Please keep us posted! Sending positive thoughts your way and hoping that it's nothing.

@MrsBrewer: What time did you call? I'd call again because I'm a pain. And you're allowed to be too!!

@MrsBrewer: I would call again. I usually do.

@MrsBrewer: Thinking of you! Spotting is so, so stressful. I'm glad they're taking it seriously.

@78h2o: I know! I hate being a pest, but I'm really glad I did call back because the receptionist said that she forgot to hit the "submit" button on the request to the nurses!!! But then I was just transferred to a nurse right away at least during my call back.

I'm just really nervous for the ultrasound now, but I'm really happy that I will be able to see what's going on for sure tomorrow. My appt is at 11:15.

I haven't told my boss yet that I'm pregnant, but I feel bad with all of these Dr appts. I think I might come out and tell her today, and just give her a heads up. We have a really good relationship (in and out of the office, pretty informal because we actually hang out outside of work with our spouses!)
