So happy to see this posting! As far as ultrasound, with the twins we had ours at 5w6d and only saw the gestational sacs. With our first pregnancy we had one at 6w4d and were able to see the gestational sac, yolk sac and fetal pole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127180 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:08:55 +0000 erinpye 2127180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one at 5w 4d with my first, and expected to see nothing, but actually got to see the little flicker of her heart beating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127173 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:00:55 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2127173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 2 done before 6 weeks, and we didn't see a heartbeat on either of them. The first at just past five weeks there was I think just a sac. Then at about 5w4d there was a sac and what looked like it could have been the embryo but no hb. A week later measuring 6w4d there was a strong heartbeat. I am now almost 13 weeks and as of this morning there's still a strong heartbeat in there. I had an SCH and vanishing twin and bleeding, so it was scary, but it did pass. Don't worry too much if you don't see much the first time around. Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127170 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:59:12 +0000 wrkbrk 2127170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBluebird: I am not sure this will be helpful but I had my first US today at 6k4d and they saw the yolk sac, the baby very clearly, the heartbeat, and even HEARD the heartbeat! So, maybe at just a week earlier there will be something good for you to see! :) Fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127114 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:48:27 +0000 HappyBluebird 2127114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Thanks for sharing with me!</p> <p>@2PeasinaPod: @Jess1483: Thank you so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127080 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:15:13 +0000 Jess1483 2127080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBluebird: no experience with an early ultrasound but so, so thrilled to see you post this! Congratulations!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127076 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:13:39 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2127076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBluebird: Goodness, I'm 14 weeks and just thought to myself how I'm still not feeling as if this might actually happen yet. With LO, that feeling didn't go away until I was at least 20+ weeks! Sending lots of prayers and love your way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127064 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:04:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2127064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went between 4-5 weeks also and saw nothing, an empty sac but by 6 weeks def saw a bean/heartbeat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127054 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:59:42 +0000 HappyBluebird 2127054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: Thank you! And thanks for sharing with me. I've got a week to mentally prepare the crazy half of my brain :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127047 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:54:56 +0000 Rockies11 2127047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBluebird: CONGRATS!! So happy to hear you are pregnant again. I had my first u/s right around early 5 weeks, and they couldn't see anything besides a tiny sac that she wasn't sure was a pregnancy. They were able to confirm that it was in my uterus, but couldn't even confirm it as a pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127038 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:49:55 +0000 HappyBluebird 2127038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: @yoursilverlining: @Mrs. Jump Rope: @Pumuckl: @Tidybee: @2PeasinaPod: @catlady: I appreciate you sharing all of your experiences with me! I will go in hoping to see an intrauterine pregnancy and know that it's very possible that we won't see much more. </p> <p>@2PeasinaPod: And thanks! I'm still a little shocked myself! I find I'm still in the I can't believe/ don't know if everything is ok stage. I expect to be in this stage for awhile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127011 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:24:53 +0000 catlady 2127011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one at 6ish weeks and saw a tiny bean with a heartbeat. However, they warned me that I might not see a heartbeat since it was so early. Good luck but try not to stress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127010 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:24:34 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2127010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBluebird: CONGRATULATIONS! I didn't know you were pregnant :grin: </p> <p>As for early ultrasounds, I had my first ultrasound with this LO at 5w4d and I was able to see a fetal pole and a little blob that looked like a kidney bean. I also was able to see a flicker of a heartbeat which was super early to see that...so I wouldn't expect to be able to see that at yours. </p> <p>As long as they see a sac at the first ultrasound, that's a great sign! Once you pass 6 weeks, they should be able to see a fetal pole, and maybe even the heartbeat flicker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2127007 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:21:56 +0000 Tidybee 2127007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBluebird: I think the key is to go in there with the expectation and hope of seeing an intrauterine pregnancy and that's all. That's already one step in the right direction. Anything else will be icing on the cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126999 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:14:16 +0000 Pumuckl 2126999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBluebird: yes I did with both pregnancies/babies. With my first there really wasn't anything to see and I had to go back a couple of days later (and there we saw a sac and fetal pole). With my second there was a sac and fetal pole, no heartbeat yet though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126989 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:07:24 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2126989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBluebird: I had an ultrasound at 6w and all we saw was the sac! We didn't even see a fetal pole at the time. I went back at 8w and there was a baby and a heartbeat. </p> <p>This was the case for me with both my girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126986 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:05:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 2126986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 2 done before 6 weeks - 1 done at an urgent care clinic and 1 done by my OB just a couple days later. The one done at urgent care you could see the sac but not the fetal pole thing and they told me nothing was there. The one done just a few days later by my OB (still under 6 weeks along) you could see the sac, pole and even a heartbeat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126984 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:04:36 +0000 Anya 2126984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one around that time to rule out a repeat ectopic. All we saw was the sac- looked like a little bubble. But it was an amazing little bubble! I went back around 6w3 or 4 days, I can't remember exactly, and saw the heart beat at that time. Good luck!! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126982 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:04:04 +0000 HappyBluebird 2126982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: @autumnlove: @bluestriped bee: @Tidybee: Thanks ladies! I'm going to try and prepare myself (and DH) that we might not see much. I know I will have to get additional US throughout the first 12 weeks so hopefully I can try and remember that to calm my nerves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126978 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:01:13 +0000 Tidybee 2126978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my earliest at 6w and could see a heartbeat but the doc said if I had come the day before they probably wouldn't have seen it. I would guess you may see a yolk sac. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126973 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:57:57 +0000 BSB 2126973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was able to see two sacs and two yolk sacs at my 5w4d ultrasound. They didn't try to find an heartbeat, though. I saw them the next week, so that's when I heard both heartbeats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126968 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:56:30 +0000 autumnlove 2126968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a transvaginal ultrasound and I saw an empty looking sac for LO 1. I went back a week later and saw something in the sac during my second scan.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126967 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:55:34 +0000 mrsjyw 2126967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS #1, I had my first us (transvag) at 6w2d and we saw the lil tiny bean in the sac!</p> <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-early-ultrasound#post-2126959 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:52:55 +0000 HappyBluebird 2126959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got off the phone with the nurse from my OB's office and they want me to go in for an ultrasound before they see me at almost 6 weeks.</p> <p>My Ultrasound is scheduled for 5w4d and I'm worried we won't see anything. Unfortunately I don't have a choice in going a little later, as I need the early US to rule out another molar pregnancy. I'm already so nervous and thinking that something is wrong this time. I feel like if we don't see anything, the emotional, nervous wreck half of my brain will take over the rational part.</p> <p>Did you have an ultrasound this early and did you see anything? If not, did you go back soon after? </p>
