update
i am going back for more labs on Monday & Wednesday of next week.
just to make sure my HCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are rising appropriately.
i don't know how i'll wait til monday?
my first ultrasound will be on May 23rd. we *may* get to hear the heartbeat(s) , but it will probably be too early. we will definitely know if it's twins on that day, though. dan and i both just have a feelinbg it is, but we could easily be wrong. i'll just be happy as long as whatever i have is healthy.
i don't understand, but on Mother's Day I will be 4 weeks along. not sure how that works since my eggs were fertilized on April 23rd. But I won't complain. I am exhausted, dizzy and have the most horrid heartburn. I NEVER get heartburn! I am bleeding (lightly) also. They've uppedmy progesterone dosage to help w/ that. they said it's nothing to be worried about, and it just happens in some women.
I also feel a little nauseous. Nothing bad yet, but....I'm sure it's coming soon!!! hehehehee
I am so relieved. When I started bleeding on Tuesday, I was convinced the IVF hadn't worked. It was textbook----just like last time. Except this time, I took a home pregnancy test Wednesday night, and I saw a faint second line (for the first time EVAR!). I got to go in a day early for my blood test b/c I called, crying hysterically about the bleeding. I got the phone call about 3 hours after I had gone to the lab. I was at home napping! My mom said that's how she knew I was pg=--b/c I've been tired & sleeping soooo much....
It was great having mom here to help out, took a huge load off of me/us....maybe that did the trick?
Have a great weekend, everyone!!
Happy graduation!
