First ultrasound

Today was my first u/s. And it was actually pretty uneventful. We saw one yolk sac, but nothing else. During the u/s, the tech commented that she could see the sac, but not a fetal pole and while she was explaining it, it kinda seemed like that was a bad thing like she expected that she would see one. But then she said she would have to talk to the dr and see what they wanted to do (more bloodwork vs another u/s) and when she came back she said that he wanted me to come back for another u/s in a week. When I asked her what he said about not seeing a fetal pole she said that he didn't really say much about it. Her exact words were --"He wasn't overwhelmed by it, but he wasn't underwhelmed by it, he just said 'have her come back in a week and we'll see more then'.

Well, WTF does that mean?! I don't even know how to interpret that comment, but of course I was really freaked out, and since I didn't get to talk to my doctor directly, I wasn't able to ask him any questions. (He was with a patient and the u/s just interrupted him for a few minutes to ask how to proceed with my situation). So I'm not sure what to think. I'm guessing since they only saw one sac, that it's definitely not twins, but I don't know if it's too early to say for sure. And of course the empty sac is freaking me out wondering if it means this pregnancy isn't going to make it, or if it's just to early to see anything. Right now I'm just feeling really frustrated that I really don't know anything for sure right now, and I almost wish they would have waited a bit to bring me in for the u/s so at least I would have some definite answers.

But, from what I understand, it is common to not see the fetal pole at 5 weeks since it is so early. I've heard a few success stories from girls on my message boards who had and early u/s that showed an empty sac and then a week later they saw a heartbeat. So, that is very encouraging but it is still really hard not to fear the "worst case scenario" when we have been through losing 3 pregnancies and know all too well how fragile these early days and weeks are.

So, I have another u/s scheduled for next week. I will be a little over 6 weeks, so I am hoping and praying that things will grow and progress between now and then and we will be able to see the heartbeat. I guess the only thing to do now is wait...ugh! :(
