Hi all, I had my first scan today at 6+3 by LMP (ovulation tracked, so dates should be fairly accurate). There is a heartbeat, but the embryo measures about 5 days behind:
CRL: 1.8 mm (~5w5d)
Heart rate: 84 bpm (doctor said normal for the size)
Yolk sac: 4.7 mm
Gestational sac: 22 mm (~7w1d), so the sac measures ahead of the embryo

My doctor was not very optimistic. I have a follow-up scan in about a week.

My hCG was rising well early on: 126 → 349 → 975 over 4 days (doubling about every 34 hours).

This is my second pregnancy. My first ended in a missed miscarriage at 6 weeks last December, so I'm really scared.
Has anyone had a similar first scan and gone on to a healthy pregnancy? Or what happened at your follow-up? I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thank you 💛

Around the time my period starts, I sometimes get a very sharp pain in my rectum/anus just before I start passing stool. It lasts up to minute and disappears completely before or as the bowel movement starts. It doesn’t continue during the bowel movement or afterward.
I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing. Were you eventually diagnosed with endometriosis, or did it turn out to be something else?

I’d especially like to hear from people who had this exact symptom and underwent an evaluation. What was the final diagnosis?

I’m flying with Wizz Air and considering buying WIZZ Priority. The allowance says I can bring an extra “trolley bag” up to 55 × 40 × 23 cm in addition to the under-seat bag.

Does the larger cabin bag have to be a wheeled trolley suitcase, or can it be a duffel bag/backpack as long as it stays within the size limits?
