1,925. 1,925. 1,925.
It Doubled.
This might actually work.
I have been telling myself sine I got the news from the doctors to take deep breaths. Be excited, but not to excited.
J and I had a discussion this morning about OBGYNs as I hungrily scarfed down 4 whole grain french toast sticks, a yogurt,2 gram cracker goldfish (The chocolate are my favorite!), a pint of skim milk, 4oz of Orange juice and lots of water. I am STARVING in the mornings. Seriously, I could probably eat a whole zebra.
I need an OBGYN, desperately. I have for the past 3 years since my move been using the reproductive care unit as the OBGYN for the issues. I know that my reproductive care unit covers the first 11 weeks. After that, unless you are a high risk patient, you get discharged to your OBGYN. Thus the issue. J referred me to hers, which she says are “Polite, informative and great with children.”
Little know fact, She told me that when I call them to mention that I have undergone IVF for they do a fetal electrocardiogram on the child once a month. She quickly followed it up with a “Don’t look so worried, it is a precaution since you are IVF, the fetus has the same chances of developing something as any other baby, they just like to be careful!” -Thank you J
Now I’m spreading the word to you, ask your IVF coordinators or OBGYN if they will do fetal electrocardiograms!
J also informed me that they love to be careful about everything. Blood work every other day, ultra sounds done once a week till week 11, blood pressure, Thyroid hormone level check.
Damn! It makes me wonder, hell, if I didn’t have the issues, I would not be as informed, how do other women go through pregnancy WITHOUT these things? I understand why they must and I am thankful. I know lots of things as it is happening and can rest easily knowing they are carefully watching.
Next blood test is scheduled for Friday with potential ultrasound next week!
Here goes nothing!
