Also, FLAG THAT SHIT
In the first one, it looks like you've circled the uterine wall. I'm looking at my 12-week ultrasound picture, and where the fetus appears is above that, in the uterus itself, which in the first picture posted looks vacant. The second picture also looks like the uterine wall as well, based on the dark cavity right…
Ultrasound tech here. I don't see any eyes or leg bones there, and I do fetal ultrasound all day every day, and I've seen lots of anencephalics and other neural tube defects as I specialize in high-risk OB. First picture is a uterus. I see a possible fibroid. Hard to tell for sure, but definitely NOT a gestational…
Look, m'am, I can see why you're worried. But I can't agree that you're pregnant. There's something going on here, for certain, be it physical or mental, but you just aren't pregnant. I hope things work out well for you.
Just wanted to add... in the third picture, I originally thought the "leg bones" were exiting the uterus on the right. Now I see that you could also interpret it as leg bones curled up in the fetal position inside the uterus. If you look at it that way, it does look like legs. But the fact that I couldn't even tell…
This is what is so bananas to me. Not saying the women are bananas, but human bodies are fucking bananas! I get that no one actually fully understands why or how this happens, but shouldn't science be able to figure out to an extent what is happening with this real false physical symptoms. For example, the belly…
Honestly, looking at your ultrasounds, I don't see a fetus. Please hear me out. I think that the way you were treated sounds horrible. You're absolutely right that many doctors don't keep up with current medical research, so I am disturbed that several doctors brushed off your concerns about the Hook Effect. That…
I am really worried about you sharing your personal information in such a public place. If I were you I would remove my identifying information from those ultrasounds.
Beth, for pregnancy or otherwise, I hope you receive fair medical treatment so you can live happily without the anxieties and frustrations that you are currently facing. Wishing you all the best.
Ultrasounds are not like pictures. They take your multi-dimensional uterus, bounce sound waves off of your uterine wall, and turn it into a flat description of the way the waves are bouncing. It's weird and crazy and it's honestly nuts that humans came up with this ingenious way to see what we can't visibly see. …
I'm not saying you're crazy, Lord knows as a woman...Mother Nature can screw with us in more ways than I can count. BUT...not just one but almost a dozen separate doctors saying you're not pregnant? Maybe one pregnancy test coming out negative, but...multiple ones? Sweetie, you're not pregnant. You just...aren't. And…
You have your full name in the ultrasound pictures. I'm not sure if you really want to be that open.
To give context to my response...I'm on the Autism Spectrum—PDD NOS and I spent two years at an inpatient pediatric treatment facility for emotionally disturbed children when I was a child. I'm now the CFO of a high-tech company. Another friend of mine has Aspergers, and is a highly trained physicist and a mother of…
Except those fluttery feeling don't come in a few weeks in a legit pregnancy. They come months into it. But I know what you mean, when you really think it's occurring you tend to be looking for every and any sign. The human body can be such a weird thing. I had a sudden realization that I was pregnant when I laughed…
That's totally fair. I was just trying to better understand what you were getting at, you've done a nice job of explaining it.
Clearly she has *something* going on. Just like people with Münchausen syndrome do, indeed, have an illness, just not the one they think (or pretend) they have. However, I think Ruby's case goes beyond merely physiological symptoms of pregnancy. Notice her obsessive "research" into all the possible reasons why her…
She would probably again point to the retroflex/retroverted/tilted uterus as the reason why they couldn't hear the heartbeat. It does make it hard to hear the heartbeat in the first trimester (or about 15 weeks in my case but the doctors had confirmed that I had a hidey uterus and did lots of bloodwork and…
I completely agree. If I started to feel the physiological symptoms of pregnancy, I would also be skeptical of anyone- even a medical professional- essentially telling me that what i'm physically feeling was "incorrect". Maternal instinct would kick in and I'd be asking for a second opinion too. I don't think I'd…
For all of you just saying she's crazy, should be committed or whatever, please realize that she is experiencing actual pregnancy symptoms. There was a great-aunt on my dad's side who apparently went through something like this back in the '40s. She wasn't pregnant and it was conclusively proven she'd never been…
