Scan following Transfer

[Jwatsonx]

Hi Guys, I have had a positive test since 6dp5dt on my first fresh IVF/ ICSI transfer, I am currently 6w+2 and had a private scan yesterday because my anxiety is through the roof…(as usual) and a gestational sac and yolk sac was seen but no embryo/ baby/ heartbeat, the tech says its early and to re-scan in two weeks but im now so on edge!!! Has anyone had a similar situation when a heart beat was seen on a later scan? Or similar stories or advice please, im panicking so bad, spent 7 years trying for this baby and terrified it is going to end! Xx

Good news is you are seeing the right things that lead to success Unfortunately, You are just at that cusp where it's 50/50 to see a HB. Also a factor of how good the tech is. Did they measure the sac to check if it was matching in size to your dates? Did they see a fetal pole? These thongs are good signs.

Do you know what you hcg is, it has to be at a certain level before it is probable to see a HB?

If you don't see a HB by 8weeks that is a certainly not great news, but you can check earlier if you want to pay. Most clinics consider 7wks to be reliable.

Good luck!

Hey! Yeah it was to early i imagine, with hindsight wish i hadnt done it so soon, its caused me so much stress.

No fetal pole seen just a yolk sac within the gestational sac, both measured and good size. I had my HCG bloods done with my ivf clinic to confirm pregnancy at 12dp5dt but nothing since and that was 2 weeks ago now, and then i continued to test until I got dye stealer tests. Havent had any pain/ bleeding at all which is a good sign, and got a few pregnancy symptom's so everything seems fine, just defeated I didnt see a heartbeat!

Got a scan a week today at 7+4 with my clinic, just feels so far away!!

Yeah welcome to the next stage of anxiety. I could never relax and enjoy a pregnancy until around week 24-28. There will be something to worry about around every corner unfortunately...embrace the anxiety or let it go 😉 You think it ends with BFP, but turns out it just morphs into worrying about the pregnancy viability.

Good luck! I hope you get your HB and everything goes smoothly for the next 32 or so weeks 😀
