First ultrasound nerves....updated

The first ultrasound is unless than 3 hours and my stomach is in knots! I know they won't see much admits been just 5 weeks past my iui but I just hope they see "something" and I'm a little more reassured that things are growing where they are supposed to grow. Mom is going with me thank goodness because this I don't think I can do alone.
So yeah, the appointment was horrible. I had the worst PA and Ultrasound tech ever. They saw nothing. Not a blob, not a sac, nothing....
This doctors office is SURE that this is not a viable pregnancy. That being said...I'm up to 354 today. My progesterone is low but they aren't doing anything about it. Screw them...I am...I have a box of Crinone upstairs. If I can help even a little bit...I want to help. Oh let's add that they wouldn't know my progesterone level until I INSISTED THEY TAKE IT! Thankfully, my doctor is a little more sensitive and he called me tonight. He said he was in until 6 and was going to call me in the early evening but I wanted a phone call. Last time I was there I waited a damn hour for him...he can make someone else wait 10 minutes for me!
So here we are...pregnant until not...is it wrong that I would rather miscarry now as opposed to later on? If I'm going to lose the baby, I'd rather do it when I haven't seen anything....I haven't fallen in love with a blob on a screen with a little flickering heartbeat. I've only fallen in love with the thought of it.
Just so tired!

5 weeks is VERY early. The difference between 5 week and 5.5 weeks is HUGE! I am trying to remember my first ultrasound, I think it was at 5 weeks even. Nothing. They did an ultrasound 2 days later, and there was a sac.
Also, like me... your bean was likely a "late implanter". It is reasonable to expect it to be behind by a few days.
I am remaining optomistic for you. I think it was just a tad too early.

Boy, n.: a noise with dirt on it.
I think the most difficult part was the fact that I didn't see my doctor today, I saw the PA and her statement to me first was "Well it's 5 weeks, we don't expect to see anything at 5 weeks" SERIOUSLY Then why freak me out?!?!?!?!?! Then she went on to say that my levels were not good...now I'd like to point out that currently I have a doubling time of 31 hours for the first 2 betas....How is that not good???? I asked her and she said "Oh, well the doubling is fine, but it's not high enough". I asked about progesterone and she said "Well I don't see what good that would do but I guess if you want to have it tested we can do that"....
I'm a very glass half full person (I think you guys know that) so the whole glass half empty attitude of the PA is just annoying as hell. I did have another beta drawn today and I'm going to wait to see the results of that before I flip out or really call this an end. I know way too many people who didn't start with a beta of 100 at 14 DPO (which is what they consider viable) and they have healthy babies or are nice and pregnant now.
Okay...done venting...Thank you ladies for being so wonderful!!!! I appreciate all of your comments and good thoughts
*HUGS* to all
I have had weekly ultrasounds. There is a baby in there with arms and legs and everything.
You just never know!
