The god babies and bingo

Sonogram photo in the middle 

6 week sonogram

All went well and baby is growing on target at .25 cm.  The heartbeat is 117 which is great.

My uterus is the right size same with yolk sac, etc.

My ovaries are still swollen from the egg harvesting but they aren't too big so I'm not at risk for ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome.

Risk of miscarriage is 5% now.

The dizziness is normal and there is nothing that can be done for it.  So ill just be more careful.

I just fell down

Randomly outside my office .  I was with a coworker who helped me up.  Left thigh, right inside knee and left boob hit the pavement.

I have sonogram tomorrow so I'll know more then.

I feel okay.

I am in flats.

6 week update

Bingo is now the size of a sweet pea about .25 inches big.  Nose, eyes, ears, chin and cheeks are beginning to develop.

I am having a major case of baby brain and exhaustion.

The exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks last week  and instead of waking up at 5 am with vim and vigor - I sleep through two alarms and am dragging all day.

The baby brain has now caused me to leave the headlights on and drain the battery; think I had my pregnancy drugs stolen - I found them in the office kitchen; many moments of why did I walk in here; where is the "insert any item" and 10 minutes later of looking I find it in my hand.  I've also left the car running and got out and wondered where my keys were.

But on the plus side I haven't fallen down.

6 week sonogram is on Friday morning.  That should put me more in the clear.

Photos will be posted as soon as I can post.

I'm now debating midwives or OBGYN.

New Blood Update

My HCG is rising in a normal fashion.

It is now 3,380 which means its doubled in 75 hours. 


The next doctor's visit will be a sonogram on the 20th. 

Hopefully at that visit I will be able to see:
Where the embryo is in my uterus
A heartbeat
The sac
The shape of the embryo

It should give us an idea of how growth is going and help determine the risk level for miscarriage.

An update

I am feeling fine, just a bit tired and nauseous.

But last night Oy!!!!!

Two things went wrong 

1. I left the headlights on when I was tutoring.  Annoying but I have a mobile battery charger now so I charged it up and night and walked to my car and jumped it.  Annoying but not a big deal.

2.  But I also left the car unlocked which means the pregnancy Meds I have in th back of my car in a nice fedex box were stolen.'

Turns out I left the box in my office kitchen.  OMG!

Argh.

I have reordered one med that needs to be fed exed.  Thankfully a friend has Meds to get me through tonight.  The other comes from cvs.

I'm trying to cancel the Fed Ex order and then I'll call CVS so they can undo the refill.

The Meds are important to prevent miscarriage.

More blood work today to make sure Bingo is growing properly.

Blood work back - and its 2181

I'm pregnant.

I'm 5 weeks along and feeling fine - a little nauseous.

2181 is a good strong number so things are looking good.

I need to double check my blood in two day just to make sure the HSG is rising right.

If you are reading this please keep it quiet on Facebook or in public until Feburary 4th.  I'll post when I'm out of the closet.

Oh and some additional fun facts

Right now Bingo is the size of an apple seed.
And I'm due August 13, 2014. 

Now that's a double line

Blood still confirms on Wednesday 

Blood test scheduled for 12/11 at 7:45 am

I should have the results by 4 pm and I will post on line.

Shady Grove requires three blood tests - so the second one will be 12/13 and the third 12/15.

They need to see that my HCG is rising at the right rate.  Remember last pregnancy it didn't rise the way it's supposed it.  It should double every 2 days.

But the double line getting darker is a good sign and there are no reasons to think that this won't stick.

I started getting a wave of nasuea once a day since Monday.  I almost threw up this morning - so that's a good thing.

For those wondering - I didn't have to have assisted hatching.  Exciting.

Yes I've been testing early

Shady Grove told me not to test at home every.  The doctor said I could start two weeks after the egg harvesting (Wed, Dec 4).

But two SMC friends said I could 5 days post embryo transfer so I did.

And the line is getting darker which is good.

Nothing is confirmed confirmed until the blood test December 11th.  And even then Shady Grove does two other tests.

But a double line is a double line until it's not.
