Alright, I had my first ultrasound with my RE today, and everything looked fine to him. He is so hurried all the time. I went to the ER with super light pink/orange looking spotting fearing the worse. I had an ultrasound there and the tech spend LOTS of time looking around in there. She identified a fetal pole, sac, and everything, including what she thought was a little flickering heartbeat. She tried to show it to me even though she wasn't supposed to and honestly I couldn't see ...
I started yesterday. I'm aiming to eat a healthy, though lower carbed diet and get fit and lose weight mostly through exercise. Is that possible? I have a Ki-Fit so it tells me how many calories I've burned and how many miles I've walked a day. I'm 2 days down and doing better than I thought I would. My stomach's been fine and that cervical area that had been so sore has not played up at all. Fingers crossed, I could be on my way back.
So on a whim I've decided to take a break from soulcysters.com. The main reason is because I didn't realize how nervous I'd be once we conceived our second child. It seems like there are so many losses on this site and it really bothers me. So I'm taking a break to make sure that I don't read any more of it for a while. I know it seems selfish but my mind is like a friggin' whirlwind of what ifs, like what if I'm too fat this time, what if my PCOS is worse this time, what if my past illness comes ...
SO my final beta was done this morning. I got up and drive at 6:50AM to get to my RE's lab and give the blood. There was literally me and one other woman in there. The lab was only open for a few hours for Dr. Zacur's IVF and alt. treatment patients. I was there a total of 5 minutes, but that hour of driving was totally worth it. I should have a number and an appointment date for my first scan on Monday. I pray that my baby is strong, and hanging out right what he/she is supposed to be.
371!!!! Now I just have to do one more tomorrow, and then on Monday we get to hear the last result and schedule our first heart beat appointment which will probably be a couple wks from now. SO EXCITED!!!
Yes, a number, the results were back for only 1 test, which was the one done at 3 wks 6 days. It was duh-duh-duh-duuuuuuuuuuh 92.6. That's good right? I asked the nurse and she said it varies so widely from woman to woman that at this point they just want to make sure it doubles. She said that she would check the computer again at the very end of the day, to make sure that they don't pop up around 5PM. After that I'll be waiting until Friday. Man I wish I would have had them done Monday, Wednesday, ...
Has anyone ever used pee sticks to keep track of their levels until they got beta results. I've been dipping a stick with FMU to keep track. It was SUPER dark today. I taped them to a white piece of paper in order so that I can see the trend of them getting darker and darker. The one from today was SUPER dark so I think the numbers are going up. I'm using the pregnancy tracker on FF, and it says 4 wks 3 days. I thought I was 4 wks exactly. Eh. I just can't wait to finish all 3 betas and get myself ...
So I just ripped the bandage off my hairy arm. I have more errands to run, I hate looking like a patient. I'm just waiting now for the RE's office to get back to me with the numbers. My sticks have been getting darker and darker everyday, which is a good sign. I also took an OPK to see if it's true that they can be positive when you're pregnant, and it was. I laughed because I kind of knew it would be, but I just had to be sure. I thought the TWW sucked but the 38 wk wait, will ...
The blogosphere is totally different. New faces/bloggers, and it's all good. Hi everybody! I am so happy that I have my blog here to express my feelings and assess them in black in white. Right now I'm totally scared, nervous, happy, and excited to have a BFP, after years of wanting and 8 months of trying. I'm worried about what every woman worries about, especially those of us with PCOS. I'm not sure why. I am so happy and I feel connected to what is going on and I know it's real. ...
So I'm back on the Femara. I actually love it. It made me O, and I'm not suffering from the death of hot flashes. I do get stupid Femara headaches though. That drives me NUTS. They are nagging, aggravating little headaches, that just won't go away. I am looking forward to trying again this cycle. I'm hoping for a BFP, because I am just so ready to be a mom again. Everyone in this house has baby fever, down to my sweet little girl. So here we go again, and beyond, until the BFP gets here. Come on ...
