first sono at the RE

Hi everyone,

So I have been lurking on this page since my BFP on 2/5. I am extremely nervous! I have a sono appt on Monday with the RE and it can't come soon enough. I just wanted to know what to expect. When they do the sono, is it external or internal? What should I expect to see? Can you actually see the heart beating? I just want it to be Monday already!!!!!!!!!!!!

TIA

Re: first sono at the RE

I thik my first sono was at 6 weeks. It is internal and you pretty much just see a sack with a little nugget in it. We did hear the heartbeat, but we were lucky. Not everyone hears it that early.

Re: first sono at the RE

Mine did an internal sono. U basically see a little nugget on the screen w/ the slightest flashing light---that is the heartbeat. Honestly, it's tough to see much but it definitely gives u peace of mind and proves that "it's real." Good luck!

Re: first sono at the RE

my first sono at the RE i was exactly 5 weeks along.
it definitely is internal, and they saw the sacs with the start of the fetal pole.

do you know how far along you will be when you go?

I believe that makes you 5 weeks.

At 5 weeks we saw the start of a sac. It's an internal sono.

Good question! I am confused about that as well!!! I stopped my BCP for IVF on 1/3, started stimming on 1/7 (I only got a bleed after I started stimming), ER was 1/18 and ET was 1/23. So... how many weeks does this make me?

6 weeks 1 day.........I think!!!!

(ETA: I was told that they calculate it using 2 weeks before the ER as the start date.)

Re: first sono at the RE

mine was at 5 weeks and they just saw the sacs.

When I went I thought I was 7 1/2 weeks but I was measuring at 6 1/2 weeks. We just saw a little peanu and the heartbeat and it was from an internal sonogram.

Good Luck!

Re: first sono at the RE

My 1st was 6 weeks 4 days.

Def. internal.

I saw a bean with a heartbeat flicker.

They check to see if there are others.

Congrats & have fun!
