Last night was a very long night with Scarlett....she just can't seem to fight off these colds/viruses. Two more days of daycare (although today she was with my parents) and then I'm pulling her out for the whole summer. She didn't even go down until around 10pm last night. I was practically a walking zombie. And then she was up again from 2:30 to 3:30. Honestly, I don't mind and I love spending time with her any time of night. But I'm just so exhausted - finishing school and coming off of being so sleep deprived from mourning my embryo that is going strong and now being exhausted from being in the first trimester....I'm blogging and crashing. My place is a mess but I have two days of work and then I can clean up!
I went to the W. clinic today. I was so disappointed to find out that my favourite nurse has moved onto other things. I wish I could track her down since she was so wonderful during the conception of Scarlett and I have missed dealing with her through this transfer. I arrived at the clinic and asked if she was available b/c I wanted to get caught up with her. I was just so sad to hear she's gone.
I had my pelvic exam and the doctor said it seems like a perfectly viable pregnancy and not ectopic!!! Woohoo!
He had me do another beta even though it's only been 24 hours. The results came back at 762 and according to the HCG calculator that's doubling time of 44 hours. My final HCG test is on Friday and then I will book my u/s.
Officially I am 6 weeks tomorrow, but my results are acting a week behind so I guess technically I'm only 5 weeks. That's okay with me. Slow and steady wins the race.
I'm going to crash. Staff party tomorrow night
I'm just stunned still at the turn of events....hoping this stays positive!
Great news!! I'm so glad to hear it's a viable pregnancy. Hope Scarlett feels better. Maybe a summer away will be what she needs.
ReplyDeleteWow. Simply amazing! Any reason he didn't do an ultrasound? If you're 6 weeks the embryo should be visible and possibly even the heartbeat...
ReplyDeleteThey don't do an u/s until 7 weeks. I had one with my first pregnancy at 6 weeks b/c I had bleeding and they wanted to investigate. Then again at 7 weeks. I'm pretty sure I will be 8 weeks before having an ultrasound because technically this little embryo just became viable and the numbers seem to be measuring a week behind.
DeleteOk. Interesting how different practices operate. My RE does one at 5 weeks to ensure it's actually in the uterus and not ectopic...and then one at 6-7 to check for heartbeat.
DeleteBest wishes!
I am just so happy!! That little babe just really wants to meet you & big sis Scarlett!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's such great news. Sorry that you haven't been able to get sleep.
ReplyDeleteMy sister's boys had a lot of recurrent colds when they were in daycare - it does get better!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for your ultrasound! So glad everything is looking great!
The news keeps getting better & better, I'm very happy for you!!
ReplyDeleteHooray! Congrats! I hope all goes very smoothly from here on out with this pregnancy. Your post really reminds me of my pregnancy, especially first trimester, while Fiona was exactly Scarlett's age. Fiona was sick ALL the time, literally, because she was recovering from HUS and pneumonia. I WAS a walking zombie. I recall a few Saturday mornings where I gave Fiona dry cereal and a sippy cup, plopped her in front of a video, and collapsed on the living room floor for as long as I could get her to watch videos - poor parenting, yeah, but I was SO exhausted. I'm so glad you have the summer off - though of course parenting full time will be tiring too. Try to rest whenever you can! Congrats, again!!
ReplyDeleteDid the doctor have any ideas why your beta dropped? It's not important since your baby decided to stick around in the end; I'm just curious. You only tranferred one, so it couldn't be that one implanted, miscarried, and the second implanted late. It's more like the baby implanted, decided they didn't like the view so they moved to a differnt location to set up shop.
ReplyDeleteLove that visualization.
