Our 2nd beta results

Well....today it was 717.7 which is good. It is supposed to double every other day and it did. We did the ultrasound and the blood flow to the uterus is great. Hopefully next Monday we will get to see the gestational sac and maybe how many miracles we will have. COME ON MONDAY!!!

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!

Our first beta was 90......He was looking for it to be around 30 and it was higher. We are excited yet nervous. We have another appointment next Monday at 9:30 for another beta check and to check the blood flow to the uterus.

Make a pregnancy ticker

I have a good feeling about this

Well we are five days past my transfer and I have a good feeling this worked for us. After 4 days of bedrest I am up and moving around. Our blood pregnancy test is Tuesday April 14th. I may have an answer sooner than that thanks to a HPT. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

It looks like we will have a December baby or two....YIPPEE

Our Embryos

EMBRYO 2

Embryo Update

Well, I go the phone call while I was at Kayla's volleyball tournament today. The lab told me that all five embryos are thriving. We have three embryos that are Grade 4 -eight cell embryos which is the best they can get. The other two are right behind it at six cells. I am so elated about this. We are transferring Monday at 11:00 a.m. So sprinkle us with lots of sticky baby dust to make them stick in the oven..LOL!!!

I am going to Fresh Market today to pick up some pineapple and then bed rest after transfer for a few days. I have a good feeling about it this time. I hope I am right.

Fertilization Report

Well, Lisa just called and I am super excited. She told me that 5 out of the 6 fertilized. I asked her about the quantity and she said that I hyperstimmed last time and they didn't want that to happen again so that is why they changed my meds this cycle. I am glad that we have 5 that are doing well. She told me I will get another report on the embryos Saturday. I can't wait.

Egg retrieval

Well, we had our egg retrieval this morning. You know how much I hate IV's but the anesthesiologist was awesome. She used lidocaine to numb it and I never felt it go in. YIPPEE!!! We retrieved 6 very mature embryos today. I was a little bummed because I expected more but Dr. Taylor told Clay he was going for "quality" not "quantity". I will feel better about it after I get the fertilization report tomorrow morning. After surgery my ovaries were killing me. They had to give me a shot of toradol. That stuff is amazing. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. I will update again tomorrow.
