6weeks 5days

Sorry for lack of posting.  Busy busy.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching with some much needed rest.  Here’s to 6 days of nothing but family, sleeping, eating, and watching too much shows when I should be cleaning.  Yay!

6 weeks, and here is to the second scan!  After a 30 minute wait and 2 trips to the bathroom, I am admitted.  Standard questions. “How are you feeling? Any symptoms?” and the weekly blood pressure check, the magic begins.

“Feel a touch, touch, and lets see if we have a heartbeat..” As I anxiously wait to see if the cramping I felt was a miscarriage beginning, or uterus expanding, the screen lights up and BAM. Baby.  Right in the middle, flickering light heart beat and all.

After a few close ups, checking of ovaries, and for any leaks or pockets of blood. (everything good no abnormalities) we got the heart beat!!

110 beats per minute.  At this point they look for anything over 90.

Hubster could not keep his hands off, nor stop smiling. Stop being perverted.  ;P

Thus, symptoms are as follows in the past week;

  • mild nausea – ginger helps
  • mild cramping
  • headaches
  • weeing. A lot.
  • Hungry – If i don’t have a lot of small meals/snacks I feel awful.
  • Tired.  Always tired
  • Thirsty.

So here is to another week. Can’t wait to see you next week sweet pea!

Yesterday was the third beta test to check hormone levels.

After a lot of wondering and hoping the call came.

Nurses need to start with high numbers first, just saying…

The call started off with the nurse asking the basic questions,  “Can I speak to so-and-so, this is name-and-name from place-and-place, The doctors reviewed your blood work and you are at 109…”    Wait,  What?!  1900’s to 109?  How can this be?  what happened?  I knew I shouldn’t have run that fast to catch some stupid kindergarten from almost being run over by some idiot parent…

“No, no you are in the 109th  percentile.”  Not 109 the level!  I went from wicked sad to wicked elated. “Sorry, your HCG level is 4,100” {Huge sigh of relief and a yay on my end at this point.}  See?  See Puddle on Floor, See Puddle reform into a human.

Gezz, Big numbers first Lady,  BIG NUMBERS.

Because my levels are “Wonderful” I am scheduled to have my first scan on Monday.  Monday!   Hopefully I get to find out how “far along” in the process the peanut is and get to see the uterus expanding the way it should be.

I have been feeling slight twinges of pain on the right every now and then.  I chalk it up to expansion and normal beginnings of pregnancy.

Still cautiously optimistic.

4 Days done in the two week wait.   And…..  I feel nothing?  

I’m not sure if this is normal or not.   I have tried to stay away from Dr. Google as much as possible, but I did find this interesting;  http://nyufertilitycenter.org/ivf/embryo_transfer

It is all about what happens in the days after a transfer.  Informative and helpful!

I’ll look to the positive and keep gnawing on pine apple cores.

 

Good Luck ladies!
