I am a mess. A big fat mess and I feel like I'm going to vomit.
I thought I was around 7 1/2 weeks based on LMP, but then wasn't sure b/c of a very light last period. The doctor wanted to do an u/s today to measure and the baby is measuring right at 6 weeks, with a heart rate of 86 bpm. I need to STEP AWAY from the internet, but there is not much positive out there about a heart rate below 90.
I know it's very early and I need to try not to panic, but I'm not doing a very good job of it.
The tech couldn't really say much, so I need to call my doctor back and see what her thoughts are since she wasn't in there.
I really don't know what else to say....I'm just a ball of raging emotions right now.
ETA: It's amazing what talking to your doc or nurse can do for you!
The nurse said I was measuring 5 wk 6 days and a hb of 86 is perfect at that point and everything looks just like they would want it to. She was so reassuring. I told her the internet is a dangerous thing and she laughed and said it definitely was.
When I looked back at all of my dates (LMP, probable O date, etc.) 5 wk 6 days makes perfect sense. I am not a 28 day girl so I should have known better than to base it all on LMP.
I feel so much better...and lesson learned....step away from the internet from time to time!
