    If this worries you I would call the doctor and ask them why they need to see you. It could be a number of things or it could be nothing at all. Are you sure it has to do with the ultrasound and not the blood work? If it has to do with the ultrasound I would think that they would have caught or seen something at the time to ultrasound was taken and not 2 weeks later. If it is because of the blood work that would make more sense. Maybe your progesterone isn't at the level it should be. I am not sure what it could be. I would suggest calling your doctor and expressing your concern. You have a right to know.

    It could be something as simple as staffing issues.

    I work in a doctors office... sometimes the doctor or nurse has to leave early or has the day off and we'll call our patients to try and get them in sooner. With the holidays coming, they probably have a lot of people on vacation and they just want to get you in sooner rather than make you wait.

    Try to relax, the stress won't help. ;)

    Are you sure they just wanted to change the date of your appointment because they could not get you in on the original date? Or did they say we need to talk about your scan?
    I would have thought they would have talked when you had the scan if there was a problem.
  • Dec 6, 2007, 02:56 PM
    mustang0529
    Well when I went for the scan it wasn't with my family doctor the results were faxed over to him!! Well I was suppose to c him on the 15th but they said no no we need to c u earlier

    Try not to worry yourself too much I would have thought if there was something serious wrong like miscarage they would have to tell you there. Are you from the uk

    Maybe it might be that they had to rescedule but why wouldn't they just tell me that instead of scaring me!! Well I find out tomorrow I just pray that the baby comes back healthy that's all I care about!! The thing is a couple weeks ago I was bleeding and cramping and it went away but I'm thinking if it were to have been a miscarriage they would have found it because around that time I was having blood work done!! I just wish they would have been more specific so that I wouldn't be so worried all the time but now that I think about I should be fine I'm having all the symptoms there all normal morning sickness breast tenderness... tired all the time! Peeing frequently!! And so on!! I just need some people who have been in the same boat as me!! If this has happened to anyone please try to help me out a bit more... like if anyone had a call from there doctor to come in earlier then there actual appointment!! If anyone has been threw the same please help me out some more!! I would greatly apriciate it!!

    Ok First breath!! I had the same problem with the child I carry now and I am 4 1/2 months sometimes it just means your to earlie, did they do an internal ultrasound or just a normal ultrasound it will make a difference I had an internal at 6 weeks and found out baby was good and I didn't need to worry and if thd oc didn't say anything is wrong with babe then don't worry... if you worry too much it could cause more problems then you need sit relax have a tea put your feet up read a book time will fly if you just put the fear on the back burner and think about something else.. I hope this helps my thought are with yha.
  • Dec 7, 2007, 11:42 AM
    mustang0529
    I think it may be that it is early that's what there saying so you didn't have a fetal pull how far along were you when they told you that??
  • Dec 7, 2007, 11:43 AM
    mustang0529
    I had an internal ultrasound
  • Dec 7, 2007, 11:52 AM
    connie-mom
    I was 6 weeks I am now 4 1/2 months baby is doing well sometimes they just don't see it,I know it is hard but try to relax put your feet up and have a chill out time I know I went crazy thinking I lost my baby... but usually it don't show until your 5-6.5 weeks I was just 6 weeks when I had my internal done and they just didn't see it I would bet that you are just really earlie I knew I was pregnant 3 days after conceving I thought I was like 8-9weeks so they did an ultrasound and found nothing but my hormones were saying OK she pregnant so they kept doing them till they finnaly saw her at 6 weeks ( I found out it's a girl on my last ultrasound) anyway if the doc didn't say anything is wrong their probably isnot anything to worry about sorry about my typing my soon to be 2 year old is on my lap hard to type.

    Fetal pole or pulse are both better detected at 5-6.5 weeks I figured she meant pole but she don't know how far along she is she said that in her first post.

    No problem... I hope everything goes OK from now till delivery... this is your first right? If it is please keep in mind the more streesed out you are the more stressed out the baby will be... and meny things can happen during the pregnancey but always keep calm and always keep in mind the doctors should tell you if they think something is wrong... I had massive bleeding during my second pregnancy and I had my menstral cycle for the first 4 months I was pregnant with my first child and with my third I had both my menstral cycle and a lot of bleeding but all kids are fine healthy and lived some times strange things happen but to keep calm put your feet up and relax can help out a lot and just to let you know to get a dula to help out with the stresses of being pregnant would probbly help you out a lot I have a dula and she is wonderful I have had the same ione for the last 3 pregnancy's we love her dearly I wish you all the luck.

    Yha way to earlie to tell most times they won't even try till you are at least 6.5 weeks and congrats!!
  • Dec 7, 2007, 12:25 PM

    Connie is absolutely correct.

    You see, the fetal pole is usually detected at six and a half weeks with abdominal ultrasound and six weeks with transvaginal ultrasound.

    Now, don't panic, because it is not uncommon for it not to be seen until 8 weeks with some fetuses.

    Did I see that they did bloodwork to determine your hCG levels?
  • Dec 7, 2007, 01:40 PM
    connie-mom
    I wish you lots of luck in your endevers to mother hood I know I love my kids very much and would never give them up for anything in the world... and again try looking for a dula in your area they are very nice to have around during stressful times and they can come with you to doctors app to make things more clear and they can help ask question you would never think of... I know with out mine I would have gone crazy during my second and third delivery wich both were very trying... they also help with exercises that help open your pelvic bone and keep you moving normaly(back don't hurt as much, hips don't hurt so much and it helps mentally to have someone there to just be your friend and shoulder to lean on) but before you do.. duh on my part!. make sure dulas are permited in the hospital I know where I am my dula was not allowed at first but after telling the nurses and doctors she was my comfort friend they let her stay most times dulas and midwives are considered a pain in hospitals because they will go by what you tell them you don't want drugs they don't give drugs as where a doctor will give you drugs anyway. (based on my own experance some others may have a difference of oppinion) any way I hope you can have a dula they are great!! Ten thumbs up for them.

    Do you know what a fetal pole is? Just wondering if you do.its not a big deal if you don't see it right away your best bet to set your mind at ease is to do some research on it.. makes a difference
  • Dec 7, 2007, 06:15 PM
    mustang0529

    Thank you very much it helps a lot!! I just want to make sure that if it is because I am really early so that I don't have anything to worry about because I have been talking to a lot of people who have been threw the same all it is... is just way to early!!
  • Dec 7, 2007, 07:18 PM
    connie-mom
    I would say if doc said that you will be 5 weeks now then it was deffinitly to earlie I know I didn't show until I was almost 7-8 weeks and even if it don't you can take some meds to increase it and baby can still be fine but my sugestion is to put your feet up don't over do yourself let you house work go for a bit and chill sleep often it will help you out... oh and arguing with bullheaded people on here won't help you it can be very stress full and being in your state you really don't need it ignore them make your point and just try to stay happy and relax try some soothing music too it has helps me out, any way I hope everything turns out and go relax take a warm bath put your feet up eat some warm soup have a tea read a book relax!! It's the best thing for you at this point you are not in the clear till 3-4months so let loose relax breath and take care.

    Which is it I'm confused! You just said in the above response that it might be just to reschedule but before you said that it was about the ultrasound! Which is it? And if it was about the ultra sound then maybe they needed to redo a certain part of it, or you might have a cyst or it could be anything if it was MAJOR they would have made you come in that day!(and unless those people were completely unprofessional and unexp. Then they would have told you if something was wrong, they have to!)
  • Dec 9, 2007, 05:48 PM

    Light bleeding and cramping while pregnant?
    I am now 6 weeks pregnant! I have neen having some light bleeding and some cramping!! Is this OK in the early stages of pregnancies?? Anyone who has been threw this can you give me some helpful advise?? :confused:
  • Dec 9, 2007, 10:45 PM
    mustang0529
    Can someone please help me!! I am really scared because I had a miscarriage this year in July!!
  • Dec 9, 2007, 11:20 PM
    Alty
    I almost don't want to answer this because I don't want to scare you, but it sounds like you are going to miscarry again. Please go to the doctor asap and get an ultrasound done. In some cases it could be that you are just spotting and this is normal for you, some women even have their periods while pregnant, but if you are having cramping as well that doesn't sound good to me. I had a miscarriage with my third pregnancy 2 years ago, it started with very light spotting, I went to the doctor and he listened for the heart beat because I was already 12 weeks along, but he couldn't hear it. He scheduled an ultrasound but they couldn't get me in for 3 days, the day of the ultrasound I started bleeding heavily and cramping badly, I went anyway and wasn't surprised to hear that my baby had died 2 weeks before. I ended up hemorraghing that night and had to be rushed to the hospital for an emergency D and C. Please see your doctor right away, until you get an appointment take it easy, rest and don't exert yourself. If you start bleeding heavily then get to the hospital immediately, don't take any chances. I wish you the best of luck, I hope that everything works our for you, you are in my prayers.
