Thank you everyone for your reassuring comments and for sharing your stories! We filmed the second we got out of the ultrasound and so my emotions were very high! I was feeling frustrated that I wasn’t getting the reassurance that I felt we needed and you can obviously see that on my face lol. But I’m only human! And I get worried! But we are both feeling a LOT better today and back on our (mostly) positive train 😊❤️ And we are very excited to see baby again at our next ultrasound! Love you guys.

Why would they check for ectopic when the embryo was implanted right in the uterus? The embryo wouldn't travel up so I don't understand that reasoning and I wonder if the nurse was trying to make sure you guys didn't worry. Anyhow, my LO is 10 months now and at 6 weeks we didn't see heartbeat either and was measuring 5wks3days. It's very possible you will get that reassurance next week.

Brittanny Lawrence I think they were checking based on the numbers they were getting from the beta tests. It’s also possible for the embryo to travel after it is transferred.

Don’t lose hope!!! With my third, they told me at 6 weeks and 3 days they couldn’t see anything and suggested a d&c since I’ve had previous miscarriages... I decided to wait it out and was going every week for an ultrasound. (They started at 5 weeks) and at 7 weeks almost 8 they saw a heartbeat!!! HE’s now a healthy 3 almost 4 year old!!

This is exactly why ultrasounds shouldn’t be offered this early. You don’t need the mental stress! I’m sending you lots of well wishes and hope xx

At six weeks three days with my second daughter, we saw an empty sack without even a yoke sac. It didn't look good, and the doctor said come back in three days for a final ultrasound to decide what to do. At the next appointment, 6w6d, there was miraculously a sac with the yolksac now visible and a baby with a heartbeat measuring exactly on track. She's now a loud, rambunctious four year old who is the joy of our family! Don't give up hope yet.

Try not to worry. With my last son I went in at 6 weeks 1 day and we didn’t see the fetal pole either and my hug wasn’t doubling. They told me I would miss carry I went in 3 days later and they seen him and his heartbeat. He’s now 9 months old.

Agree 6 weeks is way too early. You could have implanted a day or so later. I'm in medical field and they never do ultrasounds at 6 weeks. Always 7 weeks and up. The reason they did ultrasound was to rule out ectopic and to do just that. So take that ultrasound as a positive!!! You passed the first of many ultrasound tests!!!! Rest, drink alot of water, eat warm meals, chicken noodle soup, tea and stay warm and snuggle on couch. God has a plan for you and that baby is yours!!! Your body is doing what it needs to do Ayla!! Promise!!!!! I had infertility, we lost our first baby and our second baby was born with spina bifida, she is the beauty in the picture. She was the best thing that happened to us. But let's just say I know a few boughts of pain and have had my fair share of ultrasounds.

I remember our first ultrasound with my first daughter and I was 6 weeks, they didn’t see anything and my OB told me I might have to have a D&C because she thought it was a blighted ovum, so she said to come back in a week and if nothing is there I should be scheduling a D&C. So I prayed everyday, multiple times a day and went in at 7w1d and THERE she was! 💕💕💕 it’ll all be okay mama!

I had my kids in the 60s and 70s. Back then there were no sonograms. You had to go to the Dr. to find out you were pregnant. Then you just got blood tests to see if you were anemic and urine tests to check for infection or blood. You found out what gender when you delivered. Maybe ignorance is bliss. If there werent all the test to do now, you wouldn't be worried. Just pretend its 1970. Lol. If you could just relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Enjoy your nausea. And your exhaustion.

Hi

When I was pregnant with my second we went to our fertility clinic at 6 weeks 1 day for our first ultrasound and didn't see a sac, a yolk sac, nothing. We had done IUI with trigger, so like you we were pretty sure of our dates. My fertility doctor told me the pregnancy was tubal because there was no pregnancy in the uterus. We went back a few days later, and same thing, they said its was tubal and we needed to go to surgery. I kept insisting they look again and finally they found the sac with a baby and a heartbeat. I have a healthy 4 year old boy from that pregnancy.

This is actually really good news! The fact that it wasn't just the gestational sac and they saw the yolk sac is really good. My OB clinic won't book an appointment until 8 weeks and others won't until 12! It's so very rare to see a heart beat at 6 weeks or to see a fetal pole. It all really depends where baby implanted. So so so much happens in two weeks in the first trimester. The baby changes so much so quickly. Everything will be okay! ❤

Not even a sac?

I had an ultrasound at 6w2d. Yolk sac, and a teeny tiny hint of a fetal pole with no heartbeat. The doctor told me it looked like a missed miscarriage. Exactly 1 week later I had an ultrasound at my midwifes office. Measured perfect 7w2d with a heartbeat of 142! I will not have an ultrasound quite so early again for that very reason. PS: My baby is 9 months old today!

Try not to stress Momma! I had my first ultrasound early because we thought I was 10 weeks already but since I had irregular periods we were not so sure. When they did ultrasound they only saw the sac. I was so sad and worried because it took us 2 years to conceive. After 4 weeks we finally saw our little gummybear dancing and happy! I’m 17 weeks today and my baby is moving like crazy. 😍 Just give your baby a chance to grow, it’s too early. Praying for you! ❤️

I just googled "fetal pole" because I didn't know what it was, and the first thing that pops up says "it's quite normal for the fetal pole not to be visible until 9 weeks." And here in the US, they usually don't let you make an ultrasound appointment until you're at least 8 weeks.

Dear Ayla, I have been following you guys for years, this is the first time to write to you guys. Don't be scared, We all know IVF is tough, especially trying for many many time, just give this miracle baby some time and he/she will grow to a beautiful child, I just gave birth to my son, last year I did think it will be impossible for me to have any baby, and now when I saw my little baby, all the difficult time I have been through is all worth it! Hanging there! Your beautiful child is growing and waiting to meet her/his best mum and dad! All the best! Sending you lots of love and kisses! :)

I can't express enough to you how much stress can affect pregnancy. Try and find a way to meditate or do something for yourself or something that makes you happy. I know you are so worried with wonder and I wish I could take it all away. Deep breathing and thinking about the air going in and out of your lungs and giving that air to the baby is one thing I used to do just so that my body would go into a relax state even if my mind didn't. Sending positive thoughts and prayers to the two of you. You got this Ayla!! You both are amazing parents and you are going to have an amazing Baby!!

Such a stressful situation, but a couple of notes to help you feel better, hopefully, or at least ease anxiety: 1. It is possible that it still took a day or two for the embryo to implant, even though it's IVF, so that could explain why the sack is a couple of days behind if the measurement is accurate, but... 2. The measuring tools aren't always super accurate, and the tech not always perfect at using them, so that could explain why it's a day or two behind, too. These are teeny tiny measuring increments so it would be easy to be off by a little bit. 3. This is really the earliest you might have detected a heartbeat, so don't lose hope on that front. It would have been reassuring but you have the gestational sac, etc. so you're still in the game. I've also heard that a lot of whether or not you see the heartbeat can be due to position, the skill of the tech, etc. Anyways, sounds like you got reassurance and positive stories via Instagram but just thought I'd share my take on the technical aspects. From a non-technical perspective, I think napping and sleeping are a good sign because that was my number one symptom during the first trimester myself. Fingers crossed that week 7 brings more good news. Just be prepared that it's still going to be an emotional roller coaster from start to finish. I'm currently sitting here at week 39 a little nervous about how my doctor's appointment today is going to go. It's another unfortunate byproduct of IVF.

All I saw was a yolk sac when I had my first ultrasound. I was dated at 7 weeks 3 days, but measured at 5 weeks 3 days. At this point you saw what I saw. You are ok. You don't need to be worried. Let me tell you, I had some complications that sent me in for weekly ultrasounds the first 3 weeks after the first ultrasound. I couldn't sleep,I was crying a ton, but my baby lives as a super intelligent 4 year old boy who is excelling in all he does. Praying you find yourself busy more than normal and at peace till you have your next ultrasound. The anxiety I felt as a person with my own physical disabilities... who conceived naturally, I was a wreck until my 19 week bio development scan to make sure baby was healthy. He is perfectly fine. I am praying all will turn out fine and that this is your time to be parents. Blessings!

I had an early ultrasound with my son around 7 weeks and was a little freaked out when the measurements were off by a few days. I knew exactly when I ovulated and had prior miscarriages so anxiety was high! He is 6 Months Old and perfectly healthy. Ultrasounds aren’t 100% on point! Prayers that your baby is growing!!

The fetal pole is usually identified at ~6.5 weeks with transabdominal ultrasound imaging and at ~6 weeks with transvaginal ultrasound imaging, although it may not be seen until ~9 weeks in some cases. this is from google... so u are totally fine!

When I was pregnant with my son, we too had an ultrasound at 6 weeks and they did not see the fetal pole. It is such an awful feeling especially because all you can do it wait. I was terrified. I went in about a week later and saw my son's heartbeat and everything turned out fine. I know how scared you guys must feel but stay strong and hopeful! We're all here for you.

I think because of your previous experiences, this whole FET is going to be a roller coaster. You’re trying to stay positive but at the same time stay realistic. You guys are doing amazing!! All your feelings are absolutely normal. I’m routing for you guys 100%!!

My daughter had the same thing happen to them. They have been trying for 5 years and she is 21 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. One week can make a huge difference. I remember how devastated they were at their first ultrasound. Lots a prayers and baby dust for your next appointment.

Only a handful of women see a heartbeat this early. This is the reason I went in for ultrasound until 7 weeks 3 days because I knew I would get major anxiety. You will see more next time you’ll see. Hang in there 💕

The babies literally change over night . I had fetal poles on Tuesday and babies with heart beats on Friday. I’m confident everything is great and next week you will se a lot more. Your baby is just teeny tiny still . Sending you lots of love hope and prayers ❤️

Sending you ALL the positive energy!! The exact same thing happened to us.. like literally the exact situation. 6weeks 1 day ultrasound with no fetal pole. We went back 2 weeks later and saw a healthy strong growing baby, and I’m wishing the same for you!

Don’t stress Ayla. We couldn’t see much at the 6 week ultrasound with my last pregnancy, but by the 7 week one, we could see the flicker of the heartbeat. At the 9 week one, we could hear the heartbeat. Stay strong and keep yourself busy the next week until your next appt! ❤️

THE EXACT same thing happened to us! Now I’m 9 months, and you just had nova! God is good to us

Try and keep your heads up guys. It’s still super early to see the heartbeat and I’m sure other people will have similar experiences to yours. Your symptoms are so positive particularly the nausea 😉. I was measuring a few days behind at my 6 week scan which scared me so much but baby has now caught up. Be kind to yourself and treat yourself to anything you want xxx

Even if you HAD seen it all...you will still worry. Once he/she is born...you will always worry. It NEVER ends (welcome to parenthood). Just try your hardest to stay calm. We are all praying for that little sweet pea!! 🙏🏻

I appreciate how raw this is and reminding ladies that these are very real and valid feelings

I’m when I went for my first ultrasound at 5w4d they saw nothing but the gestational sac. The doctor checked my numbers which looked good and were increasing accordingly. Went back a week later and saw a teeny tiny babe. Little one was born at 40w3d. Stay positive 🙏

Also there’s one thing to keep in mind, at least from my IVF experience. The fastest growing embryo is usually implanted first, so I’m guessing the other embryos are slower growing. I’m pretty sure you have adopted a cute little baby that will grow healthy but just a few days behind 😊

I am 9 weeks pregnant from FET and our first ultrasound at 6 weeks we only saw the gestational sac and yolk sac - and my baby is perfectly healthy! At 7 weeks we saw a heartbeat and at 8 weeks we saw baby move its legs! Praying for you guys and remember this is all normal!! 💕

In Germany they never even look for a heart beat until about 8 or 9 weeks...6 weeks is really early! There is still hope!

With my first two pregnancies I had a confirmation ultrasound at 6 weeks and for both I had to go back because they couldn’t see anything . For my third I decided to not even call to schedule an appointment until I was 11 weeks because of all the time I spent worrying

At 6 weeks we couldn't see a fetal pole!!!! I panicked for a whole week and at 7w1d there was a baby! 8 weeks we heard a heart beat. I'm praying💕💕

My oldest we didn’t hear a heartbeat until 11 weeks and they were worried for no reason because he’s a smart healthy 5 year old boy. And my youngest we didn’t hear his heart until 8 weeks he was my fertility baby and he’s a happy 1 year old

I’ve been praying for you both for a while now! In my experience, my husband and I heard the heartbeat at what we thought was 6 weeks along but I was actually measuring at 8w4d. We too went through IVF for our baby using a donor egg and my husbands sperm. I am now 28 weeks 5 days pregnant. I truly believe it was too early for you guys and next week you’ll be able to get your reassurance ❤️

I didn’t hear a heartbeat until 8 weeks and I am now 28 weeks! Like you I’ve had losses, two to be exact and I didn’t stop worrying until I was past the first trimester and even now if I don’t feel my baby move for an hour or two i start to worry.. lol so don’t worry guys. Everything will be okay!! Have peace and Keep faith and trust that God is going to bless you. Believe it!

Just think about back in the day, before ultrasounds and beta numbers. Once you were told by your doc that you were pregnant, you were pregnant and most people could just enjoy their pregnancies. Sometimes too much information is good, like in this instance by being able to rule out an ectopic pregnancy, but then sometimes too much information can be negative, because it causes you to worry when you don’t see a heartbeat. It doesn’t mean that anything is wrong, it just means that it’s too early to see a heartbeat yet!! With that being said, I do understand your worry because I had several miscarriages and I can remember wanting positive information right away!! Just keep on keeping on, your little Sweet Pea is tucked away soundly and growing, and when it’s time you will see a heartbeat!! Sending prayers everyday!!

When I was pregnant with my twins only one baby had a heartbeat seen at 6 weeks. My other baby was just a little yolk sac still ❤️ I remember them telling me not to be too hopeful we would see a heartbeat because 6 weeks is still sooo early. Prayers ❤️

Don’t work yourself up mama! When I was pregnant I didn’t see a heartbeat until 8 weeks 3 days and he’s a 5 month old healthy little turkey! Also don’t worry measurements are not exact more of an estimate. My first son was measuring HUGE the entire pregnancy to the point where I was induced at 37 weeks and he was only 6lbs13oz. Definitely not what they estimated the whole 9 months. Try to stay positive ❤️

Oh my heart hurts so much for you both. It’s hard not to stress, but you know it’s better for you both to try and relax as much as possible. (I know, easier said than done and I hate when people say that to me!!) Can I just say that I absolutely love how amazing you how are together and how supportive Caleb is. You can see the love you both have for each other and it’s amazing. Many prayers still coming your way. I look forward to your next ultrasound! ❤️

Ayla I’m so glad you’re feeling better!! When I read your insta my heart sunk and I felt so sick! I’m 4 weeks 5 days with my miracle ivf bub, and I’m also just scared and worried - as well as in disbelief and so excited!! It’s definitely a roller coaster infertility, and you’re right the stress doesn’t stop just because you get a BFP! Love you guys x can’t wait to hear about the next scan

That happened to me don’t worry i was 6 weeks and all that was seen was the sak! Next time i went in i saw the sak and pole at 8 weeks. Have faith mama and be happy, your baby is there he is just soooo tiny! Trust me you have nausea and that itself is a good sign!!! ❤️

It's totally normal to measure up to 5 days behind or ahead. It's totally dependant on when the embryo implanted. Yes you transferred on a certain day but it can take days for an embryo to implant.

Waoo.. great..How is your baby now

Had the same thing and now my daughter is 15 and learning to drive! Try your best not to stress.

I’m sorry you’re stuck in limbo, but I think you will see something next week. I had that situation in my pregnancy, with 100% certainty of the dates, at 6 weeks and 2 days I had only a gestational sack measuring a week behind. There wasn’t even a yolk sack. I went on to have a healthy pregnancy. I had slow rising hcg along with that. It’s a great sign you have nausea! I truly believe it was just too early! Can’t wait for next week!

Stay positive! Love you guys and saying lots of prayers!!

Thinking of you guys so hard ❤️ during these first couple of weeks, it’s amazing what a huge difference just DAYS make in what you can see in an ultrasound. Every little babe grows at its own rate and just 2-3 days is totally ok! Waiting just a few days even you should see a big difference in an ultrasound. I’m only halfway thru so I’m not sure when your next scan is, but I hope it is soon 💕 sending you all of the positive vibes. Enjoy the little babe and this pregnancy. He or she has to be here to stay! ❤️

Praying for y'all. Especially for peace over the next week until your next ultrasound!

You for sure dont need to be feeling this way. Every single pregnancy is different Alya. You're pregnant NOW. Enjoy it, next week you'll feel so much better once you hear the heartbeat. I've had 7 miscarriage. If you stop feeling sick, then worry until then. Love it, cherish it, & be happy RIGHT NOW. love you guys ; everything will be just fine!!

You two are so sweet, and I am hoping that everything turns out just fine!!! I think it will!!! ❤️❤️❤️

My first ultrasound was the same..and then when I went back the baby was measuring a week behind and I couldn’t hear the heartbeat and my fertility doctor made me feel like it wasn’t good news. I cried for days and was so anxious.. a couple weeks later baby caught up and now I’m 17 weeks with my baby BOY!! Your news is not bad news..I’m still sending you all the baby dust in the world ❤️

First time watcher and fellow IVFer here, I just wanted to say don’t worry!! My husband and I had our first ultrasound when I was 5w2d. Right before I got scanned, I went to the bathroom and I started bleeding. Scared me to death and thought it was over.. I cried the whole ultrasound. The tech then turned the screen and said, “it’s okay!! Look! There’s 2 there.” We only saw the gestational and yolk sacs at that point. I was relieved but still worried. I had my next appointment at 7w1d and we saw both fetal poles with heartbeats! Now I’m 14 weeks still going strong. I know how hard it is not to worry but you got this!! Take it one week at a time and try to focus on the positive! Your little bean is there.. they’re still growing!! ❤️❤️

I know it is impossible not to worry at all right now and sending Big Hugs to you both💝:) Your "Little Sweet Pea" is growing in HIS strong hands every single second!! Your Baby's heartbeat is already there, waiting for Daddy & Mommy to see it on the next visit~Keep leaning on one another during times of concern, while continuing to celebrate this amazingly special pregnancy time together❣...

So excited & hopeful for you. Keep thinking praying & have positive thoughts. 🙏💕

Same thing happened to me! There was barely a sack there when I went in and it freaked me out! Now 30 weeks pregnant with a healthy little boy!

I’ve had 7 kids and this has happened to me more than once. Don’t worry, the fact that you’ve seen a yolk sac is already a great indication that things are going great. Although you know your exact conception date all babies grow at different rates. The baby might be growing a little slower than an average, nothing wrong with that! As far as I’m concerned you had a great first ultrasound. I know it’s hard to see it that way but take some deep breathes and remember that this is normal. This is what sucks about earlier ultrasounds. The sac measuring smaller is just showing you that every baby grows at a different rate.

Oh Ayla. I understand your feelings so strongly. All I can say is go out on a limb of faith. Keep believing that this precious sweet pea is completely safe. Try to keep your mind as busy as you can so that the time passes quickly. Go and buy something baby related so you are still in the moment. Praying for both you and Caleb. Big hugs 🤗

Everything will be fine don't you guys worry! I'm going through the infertility journey with you and my thoughts and prayers are always with you!!

IVF dates can be off. You know when the embryo was transferred, but you don't know how quickly it burrowed in and started to grow. Sounds like your embryo might have taken his or her sweet merry time getting comfy, and you are just a couple of days behind what you expected. Xx

little murmurings I have a friend who has an IVF baby who measured a week or 2 behind from the beginning!! My second child measured behind by 2 weeks almost my entire pregnancy. She was behind by 4 days at first then 8 days then 2 weeks!! They kept asking if my dates were right (they were! We were trying and I tested the day before my missed period!). She was diagnosed with IUGR eventually and delivered via emergency c section (whole other story) 5 weeks ago at 38 weeks and was so tiny! So babies grow at different rates.

little murmurings so true

I had a 6 week scan with my second pregnancy because I was spotting and all they saw was the gestational sac and yolk sac as well. I was so scared too. Went back a week and a half later to a baby with a strong heartbeat. He's 3.5 now. Hang in there, the next one will be better! :)

Was bleeding heavy? Ive been bleeding for two weeks it was light now its kinda medium. So they did blood work and transvaginal on friday... I might be 5 weeks and they didnt see anything. Last week hcg level went from 1500 to 2100 in two days. And that was 5 days ago. Both the blood work ans transvaginal.I went for another ultrasound today and they didnt see anything.

You still totally have that pregnancy glow Ayla! This is gonna work out I just know it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗

I'm sorry for all the stress you have to deal with!! I really hope the next ultrasound helps to alleviate your fears a bit. ❤️

Good luck guys! I had an early scan at around 7 weeks with my IVF baby & whilst there was a heartbeat he always seemed to measure a few days behind. He was born perfect tho 😊 thinking of you & looking forward to your next update xx

Sending the absolute best vibes and prayers your way guys! Keep your head up.

Don't worry! It's still so early and I was in your shoes last Monday , 6weeks3days and no fetal pole but went back yesterday and baby was there and healthy with 151 heartbeat! Stay positive

It’s totally normal to measure + or - 5 days. I am confident you will see everything you want and need to see at your next ultrasound. I’ve had 2 IVF babies and both measured behind and had bumps in the road that I was super sensitive to because of our journey to get there. My 1 year old and 6 year old daughter are proof that the journey is hard but worth it. You’re in my thoughts and prayers!

Thank you so much for this video. We are going through the same thing right now and just praying everyday for a healthy baby ❤

Omg i swea Ayla, your cute sweet face and puppy eyes trying to hold back your tears seriously breaks my heart. I just wanna hug you and tell you it'll be ok keeping you guys and your baby in my prayers.

I never had a heartbeat at 6 weeks, and I have 3 kids (have had a few miscarriages also between my kids) Stay strong, relax, you will be anxious the whole pregnancy this stress will reduce when you are 12 weeks along, but you will always be worried, also when your baby is born you will still be worried about cot death and stuff; You have great symptoms, you are tired, you are nauseous... thumbs up!

Ayla, please stay positive! I measured two days behind most of my first trimester and everything was fine :) I also did IVF and even though it's supposed to be exact my doctor said that as long as you aren't more than a week behind they aren't concerned. Praying that next week you see that fetal pole and a strong heartbeat!

Did you have a good heartbeat , with measuring behind? We are measuring behind and slowl heart rate 😢also did IVF

Prayers are sent to you and your family. Hoping everything goes well for you guys!!❤️❤️

9 year of ivf here. We adopted, but i totally know how you are feeling our birth mom was 8 weeks before we saw a heartbeat. We went in every three days. Our doctor was awesome and let us watch our son grow. He is 7 years old now. Don't give up!!! I wish we would have had youtube like it is today when we were doing our journey. Praying for both.

Hang in there! It'll all be fine. I always worried until after 12 weeks because I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks. It's great that they have all the scans now to reassure you. 👶💖

Stay positive and Caleb is right the nausea is a positive. My IVF baby girl was also measuring behind too, but went back the next week and was able to see more in the ultrasound. Stay positive. ❤️❤️
