@divineinfluence To say a six week ultrasound is very inaccurate is a misinformed statement. Measuring 4 weeks via transvaginal US when you’re 6 weeks and sure of dates would certainly be a bad sign. Based on betas and gestational age, certain structures (and sizes) should still be visible on...

@lilweezy One of my coworkers became pregnant naturally at 40 and then again at 41. She has two healthy little boys from those pregnancies! Congrats!

How did it go??

@taramiss So when initially dating your pregnancy, they’ll likely say 5 weeks based on LMP because that’s how they estimate. LMP dating is based on a 28 date cycle though. But if you know when you ovulated, that’s more accurate because that’s when conception occurred, making true gestational age...

@michelerd Crazy how there’s no rhyme or reason to it!!

@michelerd Was it an IVF pregnancy???

@brendaftl I HATE FRERs. They are so inconsistent and so finicky. I have had false NEGATIVES with both of my last viable pregnancies while my cheapies showed progression. Does your prenatal have biotin in it? FRER is the only test on the market that is impacted by biotin… I had to dilute my...

@taramiss So if I’m reading your post right, your scan will be at 24dpo, which is technically 5+3 (if you’re going by LMP as most OBs and apps do until a dating scan, it might put you a little earlier if you have shorter cycles). 14dpo is 4 weeks gestational age on the nose. And 96 hours before...

@zogy101 I also want to add that my betas were wildly different between my two viable pregnancies (one IVF and one natural). At 5+ weeks with my son, it was around 12k, but at 5+ weeks with my daughter it was like 1,100. So the numbers really don’t matter at all or tell you anything at all...

@zogy101 It’s a combo of how far along you are plus your beta. Those cutoffs are more for those with lower betas who are trying to determine viability. You won’t necessarily see more just because your betas are higher; you’ll see what you should be seeing at your gestation 🤗. Your betas are...

@commissionerfd1 I know you mean well, but she’s 24dpo or 5+3. Her last beta at 20dpo (96 hours prior) was already nearly 1600. Given the gestational age and beta cutoffs for certain pregnancy structures, she should 100% see a gestational sac in a healthy IUP at this point. It would 100% be a...

@dethgoddess Also, once you hit like 11/12 weeks, you’re pretty much in the clear from small GS syndrome! Congrats!

@dethgoddess So my FET baby was always measuring on time, but she was super squished and the GS was consistently measuring a week behind… typically in naturally-conceived pregnancies (in the absence of a SCH, which can compress the GS), this a sign of a chromosomal abnormality and leads to a MC...

@imaginedragons Yeah, it’s more likely to have a good outcome with IVF too, that’s why I was asking.

@imaginedragons Was this an IVF pregnancy by any chance?

@imaginedragons NIPT doesn’t show much… only screens for increased risk for T13, T18, and T21. It doesn’t assess risk for other triploidies or aneuploidies. Hopefully you’re one of the exceptions where this turns out ok!

@godsgal41 The gestational sac is measuring small, not the baby, so there’s concern for “small gestational sac syndrome” (

@lissavirginia Love this! congratulations to you 💙

@lissavirginia Did you do IVF?

@ancientpathshepherdess Plain water during my first trimester makes me soooo sick. Have you tried it ICE cold with lemon? Flavored sparkling water? What about Zevia sodas? Poppi prebiotic sodas are good too! Dr. Pepper is a huge craving of mine and soooo many other preggos I know! I give in once...
