Hi all,
I'm exactly 6 weeks after IVF, and the doctor couldn't see any fetal pole at my scan. She was happy with the size and appearance of the yolk sac and gestational sac. She said this was common, and that there is a 50-50 chance it is viable, so I'm meant to rescan in a week.
I'm slightly frustrated, because I was given a range of 7 days to get my first scan and I wasn't warned that there would be unknowns at this stage. I was expecting either good or bad news today, not another nerve-wracking wait. In other words, if I'd known it was common to not see the fetal pole at 6 weeks, I would have definitely opted to delay the scan until 7 weeks for more certainty. I just took the date the receptionist gave me. Now, I get to be stressed and in limbo for a week, on top of paying for a second private scan.
I realize things can go wrong at many stages, but the "we don't know" result is most stressful.
Just needed to vent. And for anyone else going through this, sending hopeful and comforting thoughts.
