Hi girls! I got back a little while ago, well there is just one in there, right where it should be. We saw a gestational sac & a yolk sac but no baby or heartbeat yet, which is what I was expecting. The tech said they don't even measure/date until they see a baby w/ a heartbeat, which has not been my experience in the past but every tech that I see there is different I guess. When I have gone in the past they had no problem telling me what I measured. She said everything looks perfect based on my LMP so we will see. I have to go back in 10-14 days. She said the doctor will have the report within 2 days. I am not going to feel any less anxious until I see that heart beating strong but trying to stay positive.

If you are indeed just 5 weeks that you wouldn't see the heartbeat. I'm sure everything is just fine HUGS.

Hi Ladies! Here's one more question for you. And thank you for the reassurance btw. The tech said that I ovulated from the right side and that I had a HUGE cyst there. She kept saying "Oh it's just where you ovulated" but then said "I'm surprised you're not uncomfortable and that it's not causing you pain". Should I be worried about that? How, if at all, will that affect the pregnancy? And is there any truth to the idea that if you ovulate from the right side, you are having a boy?? Any thoughts are appreciated!!!!

It is common to have a cyst. They may keep an eye on it and it should resolve on its own. If it does rupture, it may be painful so don't freak out and think it is labor or a miscarriage. I would definitely ask your doctor when you speak to him but it is a common occurrence.

No idea on ovulation side/gender!

According to what she is saying that's just your corpus luteum and it's actually GOOD that it's nice and big - crankin' out lots of prog for ya. It's not unusual to have a cyst in addition to the CL but it sounds liek that's what she was describing???

There is some data that indicates you may be a little more likely to ahve a boy from a right sided ovulation but please don't stress or worry about it, there are TONS of people who got girls from right side and boys from left and the pattern that really seemed to sway gender was three months long and NOT just the side you happened to ov. from when you got pg - you would need to know where you Oed from for two months before hat.

Thanks girls! I remember that I had a cyst when I was pregnant w/ my daughter too - that first u/s w/ her is still SO vivid in my mind, probably b/c it was my first. I probably did w/ my son too but I don't remember the sides or anything. It just caught me off guard b/c she kept saying how big it was and that she was surprised it wasn't causing me pain. I am sure I will talk to the doc tomorrow and they will tell me when I have to go back, probably next week.

I have no idea what side I O'd from the last few months. Sometimes I feel the O pains and I think November it was on the left but I am just not sure.

Everyone has a CL cyst in early pregnancy, but sometimes there was a second egg that turned into a cyst and that's what you have to be on the lookout for, those can rupture. CL cysts are supposed to be there, that's waht is making your progesterone.

There's no way to know what side you ovulated from without an ultrasound. You can have O pains on both sides and some people even have worse O pains on the side they don't ovulate from.

Hi Ladies. I talked to the nurse yesterday and she told me that the cyst I have is a simple cyst - it is fluid filled and they are going to monitor it. She did say the same thing that you did, that it could just be the CL but they will keep an eye on it to be sure.

thanks for updating, I get super curious to know what ever happened! Happy to hear that the doc is not concerned.
