Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the love, encouragement, support, and general enthusiasm on my last post. I can feel all the positive energy you guys are sending to me and I can't tell you how much it helps. I am incredibly touched that so many people care about what happens to KG and I. Honestly, it never ceases to amaze me.
I just want to address one issue: we only transferred one embryo (Thanks, SKB!). I know the betas are high, but the nurses didn't even blink. Unless some crazy miracle took place, no twins!
Now, we are looking forward to the ultrasound. They first told me to come in next week, but I shocked them when I requested we wait a little while longer. Reason? When we went in for our first ultrasound in 2010, we went in at 6 weeks 2 days. When they couldn't find a heartbeat, they said, "Maybe it is too early. Let's wait a week and see if one develops." I swear to you, there has never been a longer, more painful week.
So, KG and I made the decision to request that we wait until 7 weeks, just to make 100% sure that we will see a heartbeat. No uncertainty this time, please. This is a double edged sword, giving myself yet another long wait, but worth it I think.
Anyway, that you all so much again for all the love coming our way.
Seriously, that cartwheel from the news has kicked my ass. Hobbling all day. So, it means that only good things can come now.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're surrounded with love. May the next two weeks fly by and that first ultrasound yield nothing but tears of joy and excitement!
I also thought twins right away until I double checked on how many were transferred. I can't tell you how happy Iam with the turnout and huge differences this cycle. You two needed this! I move your decision to wait until se7en weeks for ultrasound, and hoping time passes quickly so you can see your little one.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting news! Good luck with your next wait. Positive vibes being sent your way!
ReplyDeleteI feel so good about your numbers! I can't wait to hear the results from your ultrasound.
ReplyDeleteI actually regret not scheduling my first ultrasound for 7 weeks, too. I would reschedule but my parents have already arranged to come up since Mr. Husband will be out of town. All I can do is hope, wish, pray and pee on sticks before then :)
So super excited for you! Lovin' those numbers. I think the 7 week ultrasound is a good call.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome. Sending lots of good luck and hope your way!!
ReplyDeleteSorry if the suggestion of twins rubbed you the wrong way. No harm meant it was just a thought. Good luck with the wait and upcoming u/s.
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Just wanted to put any ideas of twins to rest :)
DeleteHey Mrs. H! I am trying to get to your blog as I have used circle + bloom but I can't get to it! Says I need a blogger account....any clues?
DeleteThere's always a chance of identicals!!!! All joking aside, I am so so so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteI am just thrilled. One embie is such a blessing. Two are wonderful but there is extra worry involved, so you are really on a great path. I think your choice to wait for the u/s is a smart one. Do what your gut tells you friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm so crazy excited for you!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds practical I think! Lovin' you hard girl. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you just have one little tough guy with a lot of sticking power :). I think the ultrasound idea is a good one, with our first ultrasound too I wished we had waited longer as our first one just stressed us out. Great thought. 7 Weeks will be one tough kickin little bean :)
ReplyDeleteCan't see as I blame you one bit on waiting to hear the heart beat.
ReplyDeleteNice choice to wait! It's not like you need to see if it is a ectopic or get those fears out of the way, since you had a transfer, everything is where it should be. We had that no fetus, no heartbeat scare, and OMG, it was the longest week ever just as you had said. :)
ReplyDeleteWaiting sounds like a good idea. I hope your wait goes quickly!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Wonderful news. :)
