We had another appointment at the clinic this morning (9w6d). All was well- bub is still measuring ahead (at 10w0d), but I wasn’t able to chart stalk before my f/s came to talk to us, so I didn’t get the heartbeat or crown to rump measurements. We had a super nice tech this time who [...]

Our ultrasound yesterday was perfect. It was at 8w4d, but bub is an overachiever, measuring 8w5d. Heart rate was 172 bpm. CRL was 20.2 mm. Bub is definitely out of “peanut” phase and into “gummie bear” phase, complete with stubby arms and legs. Much more recognizable- I could tell which end was the head even [...]

Today I am hive free, and almost entirely not itchy. Granted, I woke up at 4.30 a.m., but hey, at this point, I would take even more prednisone if it meant I could continue to wake up each morning without having to worry about which parts of my skin would erupt into red welts as [...]

Irony

Q. and I had a conversation this weekend where he said that maybe I would prove to be good at being pregnancy as a sort of karmic make up for the fact that I am so shitty at getting pregnant. The reason for this conversation was that I’m still not experiencing any really nasty symptoms- [...]

After I wrote that post yesterday I remembered that I had experienced cramping after my first round of IVF. So I went back through my old entries and found this post, which was written at the exact same point in the cycle. I was stunned at how what I’d written echoed how I was currently [...]

IVF#2- 2dp5dt

Two of the younger nurses at the clinic have set up a phone line and email address for cycle monitoring patients. You never actually get a person, but they listen to your message and then they actually call you back, or answer the email. Usually that same day! This is amazing, and is the best [...]

The clinic called this morning around 8:45. The nurse opened with “I’ve got good news!” The f/s who is filling in for my usual one had reviewed our embryo report and decided that we are “perfect” candidates to go to blast. I wasn’t able to get precise numbers out of the nurse, as I guess [...]

This morning, while we were eating breakfast, I asked Q. what number of embryos he was hoping for. “High teens,” he said. I agreed. I figured, if we got twenty-something mature eggs from the 34, and ended up with seventeen or eighteen embryos as a starting point, that would be about as good as we [...]

Yesterday, after my u/s, my f/s had to think for a minute. He decided he wanted to go one more day. So today when I turned up, and another f/s did my scan (as my f/s was having a day off), I said to him before we started, “You better tell me that I’m ready!” [...]

IVF #2- Day 10

Not a whole lot to report from today’s visit. My eggies are still growing, albeit slowly. Most of them are floating around at the 14/13 mark. On the IVF conversion we were at 18/17 by this stage, so I’m definitely running a couple of days behind, and I think it’s possible that my ovaries preferred [...]
