7 week ultrasound photos

These photos are a little blurry but here they are anyway. Baby A Baby B …and here’s both of them. She tried to squeeze them into the same view so one of them is squished. It’s the dark circle in the middle and the half circle on the right. I think.

Two

Holy crap! There’s two in there! And most importantly, they both have heartbeats! One is measuring at 9mm (6w6d) with a heart rate of 127 and the other is 12mm (7w1d) with a heart rate of 147. The doctor I saw today was very pleased but of course, cautioned me about the fact that I [...]

2 more days to ultrasound #1

I am (im)patiently waiting for Monday afternoon at exactly 3:30pm when I will find out more about the viability of this pregnancy.

14dpiui Beta

I didn’t do jack shit at work today. How could I? I was completely distracted by other new developments in my life. I snuck out of work to go get a blood test to confirm whether or not the pee stick was lying to me. My IVF nurse called me and said my beta was [...]

14dpiui – Unbelievable

Wanted to stop taking the progesterone supplements today so I could get my period and start my IVF cycle over so I peed on a stick this morning to be sure that I could stop. I am in shock. I had written this off completely because my IVF cycle had gotten canceled and I thought [...]

Progesterone Suppositories

Who knew that progesterone suppositories could be so…um wonderful? 1. They make me cramp 2. My nipples and boobs are on fire 3. Panty liner on for 24 hours a day for 14 days because, being a suppository, they have to come out once they are melted 4. EXHAUSTION! Yay for progesterone supplements! What did [...]
