Ultrasound Scheduled

Just wanted to update since I have not posted anything lately. We had another blood test on Friday the 18th (2 days later) and it was 407 so that was pretty much a perfect double in 48 hours which is right on track. Then we had another test on the following Wednesday the 23rd (I had figured it should be about 2400) it was 2700ish so again right on track and then some. We are scheduled for our first ultrasound May 5th in the afternoon so I will post after that with hopefully a picture!
I have felt pretty good so far... some days I am really tired and others I feel fine.... I don't sleep well at night lately I am sure it has something to do with anxiety and the dreams about sonograms! I have felt nauseous a few times most days just for a couple of minutes and nowhere near needing to actually get sick.
Hurry Up May 5th!!

We are pregnant!

Today was the magic day!!! Our pregnancy test came back positive!!! The beta number is 194!! The like for it to be above 20, but anything above 5 is pregnant..... I was thinking 80ish to 150ish meant one baby and 200-300ish meant twins..... so now the big question is one or two!!! I get another check on Friday to make sure the number is rising correctly so maybe I will have a better idea by then!!

Pregnancy Test Day is Coming!

We will be having our beta (Blood Pregnancy Test) on Wednesday the 16th and the days can't seem to move fast enough. I have counted and recounted them so many times! I have had some pregnancy symptoms but they are all also very common side effects from the progesterone I am still taking so who knows whether they are caused by that are a real live pregnancy! Hmmmm..... Only 3 more days to go!! Or wait if I go to bed now it will be 2 more days then, right? Good Night!

More Embryos to Freeze

The embryologist called today, and they were able to freeze all 6 remaining embryos. That gives us 9 that are frozen, 2 are rated AA, 2 are rated AB, and 5 are rated BB. Strange to think about...

Auto Email

We have added some of our families' email addresses to send an auto-email when we make a new post.

Embryo Transfer

I am home from the Embryo Transfer.... We transfered 2 Grade AA!!!
We froze 3 today & are waiting on 6 more to see if they grow to the correct stage before Wednesday then they will freeze them! I am now 2 weeks 5 days pregnant with twins. We have added their first baby pictures below.... the 1st ones name is Wall and the 2nd ones name is Fence.... just kidding Nita!

Embryo Update

We got an update on our embryos today.... they said that 12 of them appear to be growing really well and he (embyrologist) expects to have many really great embryos to choose from on Monday! Whoo-Hoo!

Fertilization Report!

Hello All.... Just wanted to let everyone know that we had 13 off our eggs fertilize. So we have 13 embryos growing in a dish! We have been told that on average they expect about 50% of them to divide and grow to day 5 embryos. We are scheduled to have the best 2 transferred back in to their home on Monday at 9:00am.

After the Egg Retrieval

We had our retrieval his morning. We had to be at the center at 7:00am which is about an hour away, so an early morning for us. They got 18 eggs and we will know tomorrow how many of them fertilized. I just took a 3 hour nap and am feeling pretty good thus far except a minor headache and some pains in the stomach. We will know more tomorrow yet again..... Thanks for checking in!

Time for Egg Retrieval

So at my appt. yesterday I got the go ahead for the trigger shot and am having the egg retrieval tomorrow. We have to be at the center at 7:00am and I am thinking we will leave there around 11:00am. I am hoping for lots of good eggs and we will know how many they got before we leave. We will not know how many of them fertilized until the next day when they call me. I will post a report on how many eggs were retrieved tomorrow afternoon!
