"Today is a new day"

Words of my husband before our appointment.  He also says he could see my legs shaking under the blanket on the ultrasound table. 


We were hoping to see a gestational sac in my uterus, maybe a yolk sac and if we were lucky with an experienced tech, maybe a fetal pole. Dr. H warned me again not to place too much merit in what I didn't see today.


Though my last menstrual period dates me at 5 weeks 3 days today, the tech is dating me at just shy of 6 weeks along.


There was a flicker.  Too small for the machine to register any accurate bpm, but visible.


I should probably start eating healthy foods again.  As a precaution.
