I was so nervous when I arrived at the doctor's office today. I knew that some of the wondering would come to an end. During the ultrasound, we would either see an intrauterine pregnancy, an ectopic pregnancy, or no pregnancy at all. I was literally shaking waiting to go into the room. I also thought I was going to throw up. (Was this because I was pregnant, or due to nerves. I guess I will find out soon.) Once the ultrasound started, I could not believe my eyes.....a gestational sac found in the uterus. WHHHOOOHHHOOO! The ultrasound tech was also able to find a yolk sac within the gestational sac. She said based upon the size of the sac, and my hcg levels, it looks like I am 4 weeks, and 2 days pregnant. I must have ovulated very late in my cycle, thus the reason they didn't see anything on the last ultrasound. After the ultrasound, George and I spoke with the doctor. She said everything looked great. She wanted me to have another ultrasound in 2 weeks to make sure we could then see an embryo and a heartbeat. So, that gives me an estimated due date of December 20th. What a great Christmas gift!!
FYI-The ovarian cyst was about the same size.

That round black blob is the gestational sac. You yolk sac is so small, you cannot see it in this picture.
