Thanks for your support. I had my first ...

Thanks for your support. I had my first (and only so far) u/s at about 6 weeks, and no sac was visible. It's possible I slightly miscalculated my last period or ovulated late... I don't keep a calendar for that.

Jamie, I'm really sorry to hear about your previous loss. I can only imagine how hard it was, and how much added stress it's causing with your current situation. Thank you for letting me know that I'm not the only one out there with these symptoms. I hope your next appt. clears things up. Hang in there! I'm here if you need to vent or "compare notes."

Here's some updates... I should be at about 8 weeks now. My spotting has stopped (it lasted a little over a week), and I'm not passing any more particles (although yesterday, I noticed one small clearish blob, about the size of a lentil... sorry for TMI!). I'm also feeling mild nausea all day, getting worse in the mornings and evenings. I definitely feel pregnant, and my OB said my lab results seem in line with a normal pregnancy. I still haven't gone back for a second u/s... I'll do that on Thursday, so I'm just hoping to either see some good signs, or clarity on what might happen.

I think I've come to terms with both possibilities, and can handle whatever comes of this (I think!)... My biggest worry now is that there was something wrong with the egg/sperm that caused these weird symptoms, and that if the pregnancy pulls through, the baby will end up having a birth defect. Maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself... I'll just see how things go!
