Warning: positive beta mentioned, chromosomal issues, early u/s, heart beat, etc.
First, after years of posting on IVFC, I have no idea if this post is in the right place. I just don't know. If this is in the wrong place, or if I should adjust the warnings, please let me know. I've been crying for the last day and I'm not thinking clearly right now.
Yesterday I had my first ultrasound, at 6w4d. The first thing my RE said is that things don't look good because the yolk sac is too big. I don't remember this, but DH thinks the RE said it was over 9mm. The RE said this is a bad thing, and can indicate chromosomal issues. This could mean an impending miscarriage, and if that doesn't happen, then it could mean Down's Syndrome, or even worse chromosomal abnormalities. Also, the embryo is measuring too small. The only good news is a heart beat. From what I've been able to find on the internet, such a large yolk sac is basically an indication of an impending miscarriage.
My question: Has any one been told they had a large yolk sac? What was the outcome? I'd like to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I have another u/s booked for next week.
Thank you very much for any responses.
