Had the craziest experience today at 1st ultrasound. Measured 6w5d (what I should be based on FET) but sonographer told me HR was 87 (low). I was hysterical (had a previous MMC after an initial low HR) and doctor came in and rescanned and said everything looked perfect and HR was 119 BPM! I am trying so hard to take comfort in the second scan but this is so stressful. Please send positive vibes my way 😭😭

What do you think about the idea of calling the office and asking how much experience the first ultrasound tech has?

Since you mentioned FET, sounds like the office is used to handling mostly clients who will have higher anxiety

& not saying the ultrasound tech is a bad person… we all have to start somewhere… it’s a question that could give you some really useful context here

Is it possible that the 87 was your heart rate? In the beginning of pregnancy, I tried to feel the baby hear beat. Later I realized that what I felt was just my own heart beat.

Yeah, I am thinking the sonographer may have accidentally captured my own heart rate!

This is more of a mental health question. Those of you who live by yourselves, does it ever happen to you that the lack of social interaction creates some kind of mental fog that only lifts when you interact with other people? Wondering if it’s just me that this happens to. Some times if I WFH I might not talk to people for a couple of days and that somehow jumbles up my thoughts, but I haven’t figured out why. As soon as I socialize a bit and get some social bonding, my mental fog goes away.

She said baby is measuring slightly lower than it should, but it could be that doctors were a few days off on due date (is that a thing with IVF??). She also referred me to get a fetal echo at 20 weeks. Is this normal? I called OB, waiting for her to call me back.
