Second sonogram

Well, I guess it's official...a normal baby is nested in my womb, growing nicely. Today it measured at 8 weeks 2 days. The photo is a gummy bear shape. :) On the left is the head and to the right on either side of the body are arms and legs. The heart rate was 176 bpm. I go back in 2 weeks for one final look with this Dr. then I will be released to a regular OB. How exciting!!!

I'm sorry, I wrote this at the movie the other day and forgot to post it. Happy Thursday!!

First Sonogram

This is my uterus with a gestational sac inside and a mutant baby inside that. 6 weeks and 1 day. It's all looking normal. We're still not supposed to be shouting it from rooftops. One more sonogram in two weeks and then most likely released to a regular doctor.
Holy moly, here we go.

3rd and final beta

1794 was my hcg level today. So, that means we doubled about every 36 hours. And that means we wait until Monday's sonogram!! All smiles here. I think we will finally sleep well tonight.

The only real concern I have now is the mild cramps I am having. I know it's normal but its still on my mind.

Thank you all for your love, prayers and support. It means a lot. :9)

Second Beta

Today's hcg was 222, an increase of 55. While an increase is good, we were looking for 100. The level is still normal for the pregnancy length so now we wait until Monday. I think if there is significant increase then we could be in the clear, if only a slight increase or a decrease then it's likely over. My nurse said we just can't tell and a viable sonogram won't be for a couple of weeks. Now I will stay positive and busy. It's drill weekend and I need to get my lesson plan straight in my head. :9)
Everyone have a great week and weekend I do not plan to post again until Monday.
Cheers!!

First beta.......:0)

Holy moly.... the nurse, my nurse this time, just called and all Cody heard was "congratulations, you're super pregnant." My blood test today called a beta was at 167. Anything over 5 is considered positive. I go back Wednesday and stay on the progesterone. I'm in shock!!

We are pregnant!! :9)

Handling the tww

The dreaded two week wait has been pleasant. My mom was here for a whole week for starters! We had a great visit, mostly hanging out. I was quite sleepy and I took many naps. :0)

Ok, the info everyone has been waiting for...I took an HPT, home pregnancy test, Wed and it was negative. I took another one Friday and it was positive. My blood test is Monday at which time I will find out what level hcg is in my system. We are cautiously optimistic at this point. :)

Sorry I didn't write for a whole week, I wasn't trying to not divulge I was trying to keep calm and not dwell too much!!
I will make a new post Monday, I promise. Have a great weekend!!

Final fertilization report

2 embryos made it to freeze!!!! That is amazing!!!!

That is all today. Have a good weekend!
