We had to wait about 30mins and in the meantime we were watching the nurses and we were hoping not to get a particular one as she spoke to everyone quite patronizingly and bossy. But guess what - we got her!
She actually called me over with a hand gesture that was quite abrupt - me and Hubby just laughed.
The nurse asked when my last period was and pointed out that I'm not quite 6 weeks and so we shouldn't expect to see a lot and I agreed. She said she'd look around first but after a couple of seconds the scanner stopped and Hubby said later that he could see the sac straight away.
The nurse said she could see the sac and the yolk sac, and at this point I practically screamed "can I have a picture" - I was panicking as she was so fast! As I pleaded I missed a bit of what she had said but Hubby heard her say "there's the fetal pole". We were both amazed by her next words "and there is a flicker of a heartbeat" She turned the screen and with her thumbnail showed me the exact point and I could just about see it, a pixel turning black and white on the screen.
As Hubby and I tried not to cry, the nurse had a quick look at my ovaries and then it was over. Hubby reckons she scanned me for less than 2 minutes! No measurement or a proper look BUT I did get my photo!
I also got a prescription for 2 weeks of steroids and a note for my GP to prescribe the rest and a letter handing me over to my GP.
I have written a letter to my new GP enclosing those documents and telling her how well the scan went but also that to wait until 12weeks for a scan would be too stressful for me so can she get me another one soon please - worth a try!
Hubby and I are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Happy!
