7/5 Blood Test in the AM to see if the transfer was successful We got a call later in the afternoon that it was. Woot Woot! Beta was 261 7/8 Repeat blood test to see if the numbers were rising. Got a call in the afternoon that they did! Beta was 823 7/19 First Ultrasound. They checked to see if their was a heartbeat, a fetal pole etc. There was! Heartbeat of 122 BPM and measured at 6 weeks 7/28 - I attend a close friends baby shower. I talk about how I am pregnant to a few close friends 7/30 - I have dinner with another IVF warrier 7/31 - The second ultrasound. Everything looks great! We have a strong heartbeat and measurements are spot on. We have a follow up meeting with the doctor and I ask if it would be ok to tell our friends and family. She says yes! We have had two excellent ultrasounds and it is like we are past the 12 week mark of a non IVF pregnancy. I have a late lunch with my aunts and my cousin and tell them the good news.my cousin offers to throw us a baby shower and we talk at lunch about it. Very exciting! 8/1 - Group visit at the OB's office. We sat in a circle and they talked about pregnancy and their practice. Don't drink etc. but stay on methadone if you need it. Jeez! 8/2 Had our annual visit with our Primary doctor - she knows the good news and we discuss. My blood pressure is slightly lower than normal - she says that is common in pregnancy. 8/4 Shared a pregnancy announcement scratch ticket with friends/family via text (8 weeks, 2 days along) 8/5 Virtual appt with the diabetic doctor 8/6 Had our first official OB visit. They don't do an ultrasound because we have already had two. We went over my history etc. had blood work...at least tried to. The blood work person had left for the day - I don't understand why they didn't have me do blood work before she left and someone who looked extremely uncomfortable tried to do my blood work. 8/8 Had to go back for the blood work because the person wasn't able to get it on 8/6 after 2/3 pokes. This time no problem. 8/15 Had our consult with MFM. She recommended starting baby aspirin and she would like to do my 19 week anatomy scan. Can do other appointments closer to the house. 8/16 10 weeks! Can stop progesterone suppositories...they are kinda gross! 8/20 Had very light bleeding at work when I used the restroom. Freaked out. Called doctor. They said they weren't concerned. Nurse: I have spoken to many women who were miscarrying, you are not one of them! Tried to cancel Fridays appointment (said it was too early) and said I could stop in tomorrow to do a quick ultrasound if that would make me feel better. I advocated to keep Fridays appointment while crying about how I was going to lose my job over all of these appointments. I had Friday off already as the whole school was off. 8/20-8/23 Worried about Fridays appointment. No further bleeding. Researched jobs closer to home Night on 8/22 Sobbed uncontrollably. 8/23 Shaky on way to appointment. Husband mentioned that I seemed anxious. I was!
