Not so great ultrasound..
Baby measured fine, my cervix and ovaries were fine. I appear to have a retroverted uterus which I swear I didn't used to (I even thought someone had said it tilted forward...). There is also only one baby which is best (although I would be pretty thrilled with twins too).
BUT, the heartbeat was slow. 84bpm. The sonographer took it three times: 91, 79 and 84. Definitely slow for 6w2d (she agreed with my due date based on ovulation over the nurse's due date based on LMP).
I have researched a bit and it doesn't sound good. 60% chance of demise if the heartbeat goes up to normal by 8 weeks. Pretty much 100% chance if it doesn't...I asked around on one of my SMC boards, and everyone who has had experience with this has lost the baby...
So, I am going to beg for a repeat ultrasound. I have been home sick with laryngitis ALL WEEK but I think I will get my babysitter to call my OB tomorrow and beg for a repeat or maybe even have her call the fertility clinic and see if they would do a repeat on Friday (why wouldnt they? I have to pay for those ones...).
Anyways, any and all prayers for little bean #2 are greatly appreciated.

Thinking of you and wishing you all the best. I have fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you.
Sending out "speed up" thoughts and good thoughts to you and the bean. Hang in there!
Mainly a lurker on here... but just wanted to pop up and tell you that I am thinking of you.
I'm sending good thoughts and I hope the next ultrasound reveals a strong heartbeat.
Sending many positive thoughts that another ultrasound will show a nice strong heartbeat.
Thinking of you...and hoping the next u/s gives you much better news to post here. **hugs**
