It's been a while

Everything is going well. Last ultrasound still showed two heartbeats. I have had my OB interview - which by the way, if you have been going to this doctor for 10 years or so, why do you have to go over family history again. It's all there. OK - I understand that there may be more in depth questions - but come on... My first OB appt is 3/29 - so I am excited to go. I think I actually get to hear the heartbeats on that one. It will be nice. And then time to tell everyone as I will soon be out of the first trimester after that.

I have been so darn tired, that seems to be winding down a little bit. And today I was sitting at my desk and got so dizzy. That was weird.

So that's it for now - will write again later.

First Ultrasound!

Well there they were - TWO heartbeats! Yes two!!! Both strong beating in at 122bpm and 112 bpm. Dr says 6 weeks 2 days - I think it is 6 weeks 5 days - but what is three days. Monday was quite a shocking day. I think I am coming around to the news, but no where near the celebration - ha,ha... In the long run I think it is better as I didn't really want an only child, and figured I would adopt a second later on. Now I guess I don't have two.

So closing in on the end of my second month and only one more month to go in the first trimester.

OMG - I still can't believe there are two of them.

Beta #2

Yesterday was Beta #2 and was 572 so it tripled! YAY!!! And progesterone was 44 or 45.7, can't remember. I was however disappointed, I have to go every Monday to get b/w for progesterone. Ugh! I was hoping I was done for a bit! I wonder how long that lasts. And THEN I have to was until 2/22 for the ultrasound. That is just crazy to make you wait that long.

However, lots o'changes coming through - already! I can't believe that.

Oh well, very excited how things are going thus far and am excited and nervous about the ultrasound.

It's Official - Beta #1 - I AM PREGNANT

Such exciting news today, my beta #1 did in fact confirm the HPT results. I am indeed pregnant. Beta #1 was 190 - told that was a good number. Beta #2 will be on Monday Feb 8 - so fingers crossed we have BIG jump!

8dp3dt - 1/31/10

So today is 8dp3dt - and so I woke up at 4:30 this morning and decided to go ahead and POAS. And OMG! a faint positive line! I was so shocked! I think soon has finally arrived. I am going to POAS on Wednesday 2/3 and then I have Beta #1 on Friday 2/5. I am super excited, but trying to remain cautious. It is still very early and I would hope that at this point the trigger would be out of my system and this wouldn't be a false positive.

1dp3det - 1/24/10

So yesterday was the embryo transfer. We transferred three embryos and were graded 1's and 2's; one being the best. So the everyone is very pleased with how they turned out. Now we just wait - tick, tock, tick, tock. It was uneventful other than I had to pee so bad because you have to go in with a full bladder - I thought I was going to die. But then Dr. D said it was too full, so I had to go, but not empty it all the way. Now how the heck... After that all went well.

Today has been ok, a bit of nausea, not sure where that is coming from and a bit of cramping. During my nap today I had a dream about a positive HPT - fingers crossed! LOL.

Day after retrieveal - January 21

So yesterday was my retrieval and I am not going to lie - it was very uncomfortable afterwards. Although I did not need the prescribed Demerol, I did have to take Tylenol Extra Strength and use the heating pad. I am feeling so much better today, I feel like I have done a ton of situps so I am a little slow to get up and walk around.

The embryologist did call this morning - they did retrieve seven eggs, one fractured so that left six. All six were mature and they ICSI all of them. This morning I had four that had fertilized. So the transfer is on Saturday morning at 9:30 am. I am excited, nervous and scared all together.

Hopefully soon there will be a positive HPT.
