I always have a tell when I’m pregnant, my breasts start hurting immediately. 3dpo (mid July) and my breasts began to ache, I knew I was pregnant. Positive pregnancy tests (vvvfl) around 13dpo. My last period was July 3rd. According to my apps and the first nurse I spoke to at that clinic put me at 5wks.

I go in today to discuss the HOPE program and to go over a list of meds that I take, as I’m diabetic. They offer to do a sono and I accepted even though my husband wasn’t there.

They put me in a sono room with a nurse, the machine and some little old lady, I literally have no idea who the lady was or why she was there. They start asking me questions that are already answered on my chart, blah blah.

They then asked me if my husband was there and I said “it’s funny he works a few buildings over but he couldn’t get out of work.”

The nurse responds, in the most rude tone, “Oh, so he’s not even going to try?” Normally is pop off but I just ignored her comment. When she starts the Sono she begins to berate me because she can’t find my bladder, “Did you even drink water?” When I told her I had just finished drink a bottle before they directed me there she said “well they should’ve told you when you scheduled that you need to drink water 45 minutes before coming in.” But I wasn’t even scheduled for one!

When she finally finds my gestational sac she says that there’s no way I’m 9 weeks, I’m 5 weeks. My heart dropped. I asked if there was a heartbeat, “I don’t know.” Is what she told me. When I asked about a due date, “I don’t know.” I asked if maybe I had an ectopic pregnancy or maybe if I was about to miscarry, “I don’t know your body.” Then they told me I could go to the restroom and I was fuming so angry.

By the time I made it back to the sono room I was crying angry tears and getting even more angry that I was crying in front of these strangers. They then suggest I make an appointment with an OB, which I already have set for late this week.

It was a horrible experience this morning and now I’m so concerned about my baby. If I’m measuring at 5 weeks instead of 9 I’m wondering if I’ll miscarry soon or something. I’ve had no bleeding and no abnormal cramping, still experiencing all the pregnancy symptoms though. Some friends have told me that they’ve had similar experiences and that another US had a better read. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Sorry for the long post, y’all.

EDIT: Thank you for all the replies, everyone. I called my OB’s office and they told me I’ll be having a transvaginal ultrasound, the ultrasound I had at the “clinic” was an abdominal US.
