Monday will be exactly a month since my transfer, so I guess I won't be seeing a heartbeat then eh? I just realized this now.A sphere you say? I'll look up the pictures of what it should look like in pg.com. You sound like a wonderful woman heather and I will try to look at the glass half full! 
I guess they will probably have me back for another u/s at 7 weeks.After my last dissapointment in Jan. I started looking for support and I sure found it! Thank you everyone for your information, advice, thoughts,caring and genuine friendship. I couldn't have gone this far without you without losing my mind!
I am expecting a good visit with the u/s machine tomorrow, but if something does go wrong, I know I can count on you ladies to help me through it.
Take care everyone...cassandra

Cassandra,
Well, I wouldn't say I'm wonderful...I'm human, remember??
Yeah, sorry, no heartbeat yet. Here's a link to what the yolk sac looks like...it's twins, but you'll get the idea:
http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancycalendar/l/blweek5.htm
I don't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't that...I never in a million years imagined they could see something quite so small! But, it was the best sight I ever saw - until I saw the heartbeat just two weeks later! I was stunned that everything falls into place so quickly - it is truly an amazing thing to be able to witness, and a wonderful gift from God. I mean really, you see this little yolk sac then two weeks later is a little c shaped embryo with a heart beating faster than anything you've ever seen! It's amazing. Though, the whole "yolk sac" terminology makes me feel a little weird...maybe like a chicken...but, there are a lot of horrible pregnancy terms that make you feel not so great...if you're over 35 you're "advanced maternal age" and there is one more technical moniker that makes your age sound even worse!! I guess they'll put Geritol in the pitocin drip when you get to the hospital if you're over 35.
I went for my first OB appointment Friday and he told me I won't get another u/s until week 20, so I'm bummed...but I have two friends that didn't have their FIRST u/s until week 26! So, I guess I can't complain about week 20. Though I did read somewhere on the boards that you'll hear the heartbeat at every OB appointment, so that is really cool!
I hope it goes really great tomorrow and I hope you just love your miraculous little yolk sac!!
