Yes! I have this problem too and just showed DH your post to show it's not just me! Last night we watched a film but I just could not keep my eyes open during it, I fell asleep several times and it was such a struggle to make it to the end...which was only 10:30pm! Poor DH...oh well, it's the weekend now

But then every morning I wake about 5am and then can only doze on and off for an hour or so as I can't get comfortable. This is so not like me and I thought it was jet lag from getting back from the UK on Sunday but it's gone on wayyy too long - normally it would be a day at most.

Anyway, I had the u/s yesterday and everything is looking good. They saw a gestational sac in the right place and could see nothing outside the uterus.
However, because it is so early and they only saw a sac they want me to come back in in a week or so for anoher u/s - apparently they want to see a h/b so they can confirm it's a viable interuterine pregnancy...hmmm not v happy about this - why do they need another if they saw it already? Really don't want another u/s, and definitely not if it's an internal one like yesterday. Do you think I should just refuse to go in for another and say I am happy with the results of the first one, or is there a chance they thought they saw the sac but it was something else (I appreciate that something with a h/b is unmistakably the fetus compared to a small black blob)?

The nurse at my practice is going to call me Monday to discuss the results and set up the next u/s so I guess I'll see what her attitude about all this is.

Have a great weekend everyone! We are having a mini break up in Maine. Motel last night, staying with a relative of DH tonight and then 2 or 3 nights of camping in Acadia - brrrr! Am very excited though!

If you don't want another u/s, you don't have to get one. You know it's not ectopic, and I assume that's the worry they had which prompted the u/s so early?

Just remember that YOU are the employer here. And it's YOUR body. You can refuse any and all tests. They can also refuse to see you, of course, but I doubt they'd do that over a little u/s.

From what I have read they might be having you keep coming in because most ectopics are only recognized through a swollen fallopian tube (not actually seeing the sac). They might have you keep coming in because there could be a fear of multiples, or they might not be as certain about what they saw as they are acting. You might want to call the office and ask them their reasons. As someone else mentioned it is ultimately your decision. Good luck!
