29 weeks 1 day!

On Monday I had another OB appointment.  I'm measuring right on track and the baby's heartrate was 167.  According to what to expect, the baby is about 3 pounds.

I received a shot of Rhogam since my blood type is RH negative and had my glucose screening.

I found out yesterday my levels were "slightly elevated" over the "cut off point".  I opted to check my blood sugar at home rather than take the 3 hour glucose test.  I'd much rather prick my finger than fast and drink a nasty sugary drink and sit in the doctor's office for 3+ hours while I try not to throw up or pass out =)

10 weeks 6 days +/-!!

25 weeks 3 days

I had an OB appointment today.  HR was 160.  Measuring right on track.

I will go back in 3 weeks for the next appointment which will include glucose testing which I despise and a shot of Rhogam.  The 3rd trimester is almost here!

21 weeks 2 days

 I am now 21 weeks 2 days. Over halfway! Today we had an ultrasound. The IP's got to be here and found out they are having a little girl! She looked perfect and is 14 ounces.  I'm feeling her move and the last few days she's been a little crazy when I lay down at night.  She had hiccups today during the ultrasound, so cute!

17 weeks 2 days

I had an OB appointment today.  Baby's heartrate was 160.  Ultrasound scheduled for October 8th!  Almost half way!!

Here is a picture from today, doctor says I'm measuring right on track.

 

13 weeks 3 days

 Yesterday I had another OB appointment. Pretty uneventful. Baby's heart rate was 165. Another appointment in four weeks.

1st OB appointment

Yesterday was the first OB appointment at 9 weeks.  Baby is the size of a green olive.

Heartrate was 186.

Dr prescribed anti nausea meds, woo hoo.

Next appointment in 4 weeks.

Released

 Today was another ultrasound. The heart rate was up to 171 which is great. The baby is the size of a raspberry and I could see tiny arm and leg buds.

 I have been released to my OB. I will continue medication until 12 weeks.

Ultrasound #3

The heartrate was 131 up from 85 last week so that is great news.

I will have another ultrasound next week and if all looks good will be released to my OB.

Ultrasound 1 and 2

The end of last week I had an ultrasound.  There wasn't much to see yet but everything was looking good.

I had another ultrasound today.  I have a subchorioinic hemorrhage again.  Hopefully it goes away fast!  I was able to see the heartbeat.

I will go back next week and will be looking to see the SCH smaller and the heart rate faster!

3rd beta

HCG was up to 998 today so looking good so far!

I will go in for an ultrasound at the end of the week.

2nd beta

The HCG level today was 360 so it more than doubled so that is looking good!  I will go back Monday to ensure it is continuing to rise appropriately.

1st Beta

I had my first blood draw today and my HCG levels were at 169!  They are looking for 50 or better so that's a good number.  They will check again in 2 days and that number should double if the pregnancy is progressing.

Transfer 3

Today was the 3rd transfer of a 1AA embryo which is the highest rating it can receive.

I will know in less than two weeks if it was succesful!

Round 3?

I will soon be getting ready for round 3!

The intended parents decided they are not done trying.

I am planning to do another transfer the end of May/beginning of June.  The previous two times were frozen embryos. This will be a fresh embryo so the timing is a little different.  With the frozen transfers they would set the date for the transfer and I would start meds accordingly and they would thaw the embryo for the transfer.  This time with a fresh transfer I will start meds based on a 5 day window for the estimated transfer date.

The results

On Thursday I had my HCG checked.  It was under 2 which means the transfer was not successful.

Transfer day

First thing this morning was the transfer.  The embryologist said it looked great.  I will find out in less than 2 weeks if it worked!
