Hi moms! I need some support and some advice. Right now I feel very alone and have no one to talk to... I took 3 pregnancy tests (Friday 13th, Sat 14th, and Monday the 16th) all three tests came back positive We are actively TTC so DH and I were unbelievably happy about this news!!! I called my doctor on Monday and he said he wanted me to come in the next morning to confirm the pregnancy. I went to his office yesterday, he did a sonogram and said 'I cannot see the pregnancy'.... Since then I have been devastated and cannot stop crying. He had me make another appointment next week, July 25th to take another look. He didn't really go into too much detail with me, just said 'don't worry, you are pregnant, its just too early to see' I asked him if I should take another pregnancy test and he said 'No' My emotions are totally out of wack right now.. I thought I would leave his office so happy... Instead I cannot think straight and cannot stop crying. I have not told my parents that I am pregnant, I was going to tell them this weekend... But now after the doctor visit, I think I should wait. Right now I have no one to talk to... DH says not to worry about it and that everything is ok. I want to keep getting pregnancy tests to clear my mind, but $ is tight and I know that I shouldn't be wasting it on buying them. The first day of my last period was July 12th... I used those pregnancy calendars and they all say I should be in my 5th week.... At the 5th week, you should be able to see the baby on a sonogram.. Is it possible that I could only be in my 4th week? Has this happened to anyone else? Right now I am just really scared and need some support. Thanks!

Re: Pregnant?
If the dr. said you are pregnant and if he said the sonogram results are consistent with a pregancy - then congratulations! You are pregnant!
I would not worry about any more preggo tests!!! Worry about what to name your baby and what to buy for him/her!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Pregnant?
Try not to worry, I think that it is still to early to see the baby on a sonogram. If you had 3 positives then you are producing the pregnancy hormones so something is happening. If you are only 5 weeks from what I heard you should not be having a sonogram for another 2-3 weeks so that you can see the heartbeat. Try and relax, I know that it will be hard but stress is not go for you or the baby.

Re: Pregnant?
Why didn't he give you another pregnancy test? My dr gave me a blood test just to make sure (I wasn't pregnant but since I was using fertility drugs, he wanted to make sure the test wasn't wrong)
I hope everything works out for you!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Re: Pregnant?
I am sure you are pregnant. I just don't understand why your doctor didn't do a test there for you? As for the sonogram, it is most likely too early for them to see anything. I had my first sonogram at about 6 weeks and all they could see was a tiny little dot. The dr. ssaid if you would have waited 2 more weeks, the dot would actually look alot bigger and totally different. Just relax, stop stressing, its not good for the baby. and Congrats on your pregnancy.

Re: Pregnant?
I agree with everything these ladies have said - its too early for a sonogram - My Dr. didnt want to see me until I was 8 weeks, he prescribed my prenatals - that was it. If you need another opinion go to a walk in clinic - thats what I did. They did a test and confirmed. I'm sure you are pregnant - 3 positives - the hormone is there!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Re: Pregnant?
Thank you again everyone... I am breathing a lot easier now. I cannot wait until this weekend to tell my family! I dont think I am going to buy another home pregnancy test. I am just going to TRY to remain calm... not stress myself out... and wait until my next doctor visit.. I will probably ask my mom to come with me, she'll know better than me what to expect and I dont think I can go alone... I'll keep you all posted. You guys really really really changed my day for the better and I have positive feelings about everything! I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE WITH OUT GUYS!!!!!
