My first ultrasound

10/10/11
I had my first ultrasound after taking a positive pregnancy test.    I frantically called the doctor worried it was too late already and I would have to mark a number 3 on the miscarriage totem pole.   It was the most devistating feeling i think i have ever had.    We showed up to the doctors and i went in for an ultra sound.    No baby was found, as i'm too early in the pregnancy, it is too tiny to see. but my endometrium was very very thick which is good and they were very pleased to see how thick it was.   They also did a test to see my hormones and how they are progressing.   My HGC hormone came back at 491 which is really good for how far along I am.    I do have to say even though we couldn't see a little baby bean it was breathtaking to see my ultrasound and where my baby would hopefully soon be.   I scheduled a follow up appointment for two days later to do a follow up on the HGC hormones to see where I am at.   The doctor put me on baby asprin which i will take till i'm about 36 weeks along and i'm taking progesterone to keep my endometrium and my uterus strong to help keep the little guy in there.  I will be taking that for about ten more weeks.  Fingers crossed and praying hard!!
