We are back from the doctor. The appointment went pretty well. We were able to see a beautiful gestational sack and a tiny little baby (which looks nothing like a baby) Because of my whacky cycle, and late positive pregnancy test, we really aren't sure exactly how far along I am. According to today's measurements, I am about 5 weeks 5 days which is a week behind what I had calculated. The dr. did not seem concerned by this at all - probably just a late ovulation and a late implantation.
We were able to see the heartbeat - what a magnificent sight. The heartbeat was only 80 beats per minute, which is lower than what they wanted to see if I was measuring 6 wks 5 days but the dr. said it may just be early since I am only measuring 5 wks 5 days. They want me to go back in one week to check the heartbeat and the growth rate to be sure everything is ok.
So...next week's appointment will be the big one! Prayers for lots of growth and a strong heartbeat are greatly appreciated!!!

That's fantastic!!!! For 5w5d a h/b at all is amazing, so no worries there. When's your next u/s?
Wohoooo! So glad you saw the heartbeat! I will be sure to keep praying for that baby to stay strong and keep growing! (Hugs)
How fantastic!!! So happy for you. Can't wait to hear the great news after next weeks appt!
I have NO CLUE how I missed the first post about this BFP!!!!! This is awesome! I will be praying praying praying!!!! (((hugs)))
I'm so happy for you guys. You deserve this. I'm praying for growth and a good heartbeat! Sending you lots of hugs.
Congrats! I think 80bpm sounds pretty good (not that my opinion matters). At 5 weeks we could only see a sac and at 6 weeks we could barely see a heartbeat and it wasn't measureable, so compared to me, that seems pretty good!
Yay! So happy your appt went well today. I was thinking about you and hoping it would be great news. Thanks for keeping us updated! Fingers still crossed =)
Will definitely keep praying! Go baby, go!

My first u/s with this one was 6w and the HR was quite low as well.. my RE was just happy there was one at all at that point. ...and here I am at 22w.
