U/S #2

Sorry I didn't get to post the results right away. Got home kinda late on Tuesday and was pretty tired. Then last night our Internet decided to be lame. Booooo!

The good news is...everything went great at our second ultrasound! Everything is measuring just as it should be, the yolk sac looks good, the placenta is forming and most importantly we saw the heartbeat!!! It looked strong and beating fast at about 120. It was certainly surreal to say the least and the NP said everything looked "perfect".  The experience was much more pleasant than last time and she explained everything wonderfully.

We are 8 weeks and one day today. It's really feeling real now. We are finally starting to experience the joy of this. I'm smiling spontaneously at the thought of future planning and getting chills when I think of what's to come! Our due date is May 23rd...Mr Bag's birthday!

Although I haven't officially heard from the RE's office, the NP released me to make an appt. with my OB. It's scheduled for 11/15 which will be towards the end of 12 weeks.

Still pinching myself even though it's feeling more real everyday.

In the interest of sensitivity and logic. I'll probably be starting a new blog to focus on where this journey is headed. I'll certainly put up a link so you can follow me there if you wish. In the meantime please take whatever you want from what I've written and know that it IS possible to have success on the IF journey! I write that with caution as we still have a long way to go until May but it's a level of success none-the-less. I hope you all are well out there and don't lose hope!!! xoxo

Ultrasound

Another hurdle cleared! The ultrasound went well. At 5 weeks and 5 days the RE found a yolk sac and a fetal pole. He said everything looks good so far. There wasn't a heartbeat yet but he said it's probabaly pretty close. We will go back next week to hear the heartbeat. It's also looking like one bean in there at this point.

The underwhelmed reaction of Dr. Charming made me a little uneasy but I think that's just him. My fav PA came out to talk with us afterwards and she mentioned that they think there was a delayed implantation which isn't a big deal but explained why the first number was on the lower side.

Overall we're stoked! Just have to get over the next hurdle. Hopefully the good news will keep on coming! Hope you all are well out there!
