2nd Beta Results

*** the black circle is the baby***


We just got home from the RE. My 2nd beta was over 5,000. It was 164.3 last week and it is supposed to double every other day. We are still not sure if it is one or two. The RE has told us not to rule out twins yet. We will hopefully know for sure next week and we may be able to see the heartbeat. I am still having to take the estrogen patches and the prometrium as well. The one baby that we know we have for sure is measuring 5mm right now. Peanut Kruse's heart is already beating and already started growing limbs. It is about the size of a lentil bean. Our next appt. is on Monday Ocotber 27th.

Day 6 on Stims

Clay and I went in this morning for another ultrasound and blood work. We actually got to see how much the follies are growing. The biggest ones are over 10 now. There must be over 20 of them. I was instructed to keep my Lupron at 10 units, lower the Follistim to 100 IU and continue on the 2 vials of Menopur. I have another appointment Saturday at the Metairie office. Lisa (our IVF nurse) gave me all of the paper work for pre-op and I had to go to Tulane Lakeside to pre-admit since they do not allow you to do that on the weekends. Lisa also gave me my instructions on who to take my medication following egg retrieval. We are definitely getting close. My head is spinning from all of the information that I have in it. =)
