[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks again everyone.
I've done some research and from what I understand if the sac isn't viable then it would start to shrink- and if it is, it would start to grow.

I'm going to request a repeat US in a week. I know there may not be a definite positive answer but if there's a negative outcome to this pregnancy I don't want to wait longer than I have to do hear this... my rationale is that while I understand it's not medically necessary it is psychologically necessary.

Does that sound reasonable? I'm not really thinking logically about this.[/quote]

OP, that is exactly what I would do (and did something similar).  I think a repeat US in a week is reasonable.  Now, it still may be inconclusive, but it's worth a shot.  It's hard to wait a full 2 weeks in limbo, and if there's a chance you might have a better idea of what's going on in a week, I think it's worth it.

Fingers crossed that your doctor agrees.  Hang in there.  I understand about wanting to know (I'm the 2 miscarriages PP).  As devastating as it is to lose a pregnancy, there is some relief in not being in limbo.  I actually felt a little better when I knew for sure it wasn't viable and could go from there.  It is definitely the uncertainty that is most difficult to deal with.  You are not alone.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. What makes this particularly hard is that I was told I'd never conceive naturally (I'm missing one tube and the other was theoretically blocked), and here we are with a miracle baby- or not.  I'd love another child and without IVF it's not going to happen... and I'm 39... so this feels like a last chance that is meant to be. Hopefully the universe agrees with me.[/quote]
