Ultrasound results

I slept horribly last night. I had a dream that I went in for my ultrasound and instead of having it at a hospital, it was in a middle school. The tech never showed up so I had to do the transvaginal ultrasound on myself. I didn't know quite what I was looking at but could see that nothing had changed since last week and thus it was not going to be a viable pregnancy. 

Needless to say, my heart was beating really fast as I sat down to wait to get called back for the ultrasound today and I was very nervous. The tech came to get me and when we got into the room said that I didn't have to take off my shoes. No dildo cam today? Sweet!

Before the tech even said anything, I could see a little flicker on the screen meaning that WE HAVE A HEARTBEAT!! I immediately teared up in relief. It took a few tries but she was able to get a strong heartbeat. I have a cyst on my right ovary, which I guess is normal and my fibroid sits behind my uterus, still small. Technically because of my last period date I am 7 weeks today, but I know that I have never ovulated on Day 14...more like Day 16 or 17 so I am more like 6 weeks, 5 days. The baby is measuring 6 weeks, 4 days but I am not worried because thankfully I have lots of data to back up the fact that I am a late ovulator.

It was a short appointment and as I left the room I thanked the woman for making my day. As I walked out of the hospital I had tears running down my cheeks and as soon as I got in my car, I started crying happy tears. CP is, of course, in a location where he has NO cell phone reception so I texted him and emailed him to call me. He took too long and I couldn't wait to tell someone so I called my mom, who started crying as well. A few minutes later CP called and I was able to give him the good news. 

For now? A due date of July 29th.

I know that I am not out of the water yet- because I am now 37 and of advanced maternal age I still have a miscarriage rate of 16% even after seeing a heartbeat. But I am going to stay positive and call my OB to make my first appointment! Keep growing little one!
