Today I am 7 weeks. I actually had a scare, but all is good. There is a reason they do not check levels after a certain point. Mine dipped a bit, but the baby is fine, grew and had a heartbeat of 118 ❤️❤️ To say we're ecstatic is an understatement, I'm so over the moon and so happy.
So as far as symptoms go:
We go back to the specialist Saturday and I will have weekly monitoring with my doctor due to my history and clotting potential. I'm actually happy to do weekly monitoring, I feel relieved about that. I honestly cannot wait for the first trimester to be over. I will say, it still pains me to see pregnant teens and people complain about being pregnant or having kids. Those things still really hurt to hear. I guess if you've dealt with infertility, it never does leave you. It's always there. I'm working on it. But still it lingers.

Today, I'm 6 weeks pregnant. Which is really exciting because I've never been here before and I keep giving thanks every day to God for this wonderful blessing.
We found out how many babies we are having Saturday morning and got to see our little miracle for the first time ever!! We are having one beautiful baby!! My parents got down here before we even left the clinic, so we surprised them with a "1" balloon with the ultrasound picture on it and one pink and one blue balloon, as we do not yet know the sex of the baby. In other news, I go Wednesday to see my Obgyn for the first time, and I'm on lovenox bc of my potential to clot abnormally, which really makes me feel a million times better. We go back to the RE on the 29th to hear the heartbeat. So symptoms: To begin, some things did start to become more consistent, while other things began. There are still days when I think I feel my cervix and if course continues to make me nervous.
Until next week! 12 more days till our baby's heartbeat scan!! 2 days until our first Obgyn appointment!! Today, I am 5 weeks pregnant. I want to recap my symptoms from week 4.
Basically, stuff came and went. I had cramping on and off, started more on than off, but has let up. Sore breasts on and off- at the end of week 4 they got really bad. Nausea on and off, dizziness on and off. The ones that are constant: heartburn and sleepiness. I also have a slight aversion to sweet foods, which is good bc that really intensifies heartburn. There are 5 more days until we have our first ultrasound to find out if it's one or two babies. I'm really excited and can't wait. I'm leaning towards two. Not sure why, but I am. I am calling my Obgyn today to set up my initial prenatal visit, I'm not sure how long it will take to get in, and I was supposed to do additional blood work with him, so we shall see. I thought the 2ww was rough, this 10 days until first scan puts that to shame. I'm still POAS to keep checking I'm pregnant! If you feel something you worry, you don't you worry. It's a very nerve wrecking time. 5 more days. I think I'm going to do weekly updates. So like for week 4, I'll update at the start of week 5. I have 8 more days until my first scan, and I really just want it to be here already because, I'm so nervous and just want to confirm the pregnancy via ultrasound and see if we are having 1 or 2.
So far, I've had a lot of cramping. Seems mostly on rather than off. Some low back pain. Nausea on and off, horrible heartburn, my skin is super duper dry, and I'm tired. I just fall asleep at random throughout the day. I've noticed I am extremely uncomfortable at night due to cramping and pressure. As long as this all means healthy baby/babies are growing in there, I don't care, keep it coming. We've finally crossed a major hurdle and finally are pregnant, now the worry and fear of making it thru the first trimester are running rampant. I just keep praying and keep faith that God is finally blessing us with a little miracle(s). 8 more days. And..... BFP!!!! I'm in complete shock still. I do need to call back for the actual number, but for now I'm pregnant for the first time in my life. When I get that number, I will just add it to the bottom of this post. You can choose to not keep up with the blog now, I understand. I've done it too. I've been on the other side of a BFP for almost 4 years. I've been on the other side of back to back failed transfers. It sucks. And it is hard to say you are moving on when others aren't, because you do still feel the pain. I do understand, but I also do know miracles can happen. I really didn't think we would get pregnant after the first ivf cycle failed. To be honest, I did test early, I tested at 7dp5dt to prove DH wrong, bc I was so sure this cycle also failed. You can imagine my shock when the test was positive. We go back in 10 days for our first ultrasound, it still hasn't sunk in and likely won't until we see our babies and hear the heartbeat. Hcg level = 278
Today is OTD, aka beta Day. In a few hours we'll know what the official outcome of the cycle is. Will update with results when I get them.
Happy 4th of July!!! Today has been a relatively quiet and easy day. I napped a lot and we went to church in the morning, and watched a few movies. I do recommend CHIPS, really funny.
Symptoms:
Still had some slight cervical pain. Tomorrow is OTD!! In about 12 hours (give or take) I should have an answer. Today I got to see DH for a little bit this am it was really awesome :) Today has been rather uneventful overall.
Symptoms:
I felt a sharp pain in my cervix, like someone driving a hot nail thru it, it was horrible. So of course that is making me nervous. 2 more days. I slept a lot of the day today, I was rather tired.
Symptoms:
I still feel my cervix, upsetting, more today than yesterday. I just am scared. I'm ready for test day. 3 days left to go. Today has been an interesting day. Really long, really boring.
Symptoms:
I still think I might be feeling my cervix slightly, but idk. We do need to move our OTD up, due to DH not being able to take that day off since he has off the day before, that being said: 4 more days. |
