A cute little heart!

Yes we saw a cute little heartbeat On Thursday and it was the most beautiful thing in the world. We were so happy to see the baby in the right place. The baby was measuring 6 weeks instead of 6w5d and the heart rate was 118bpm so that has gotten me worried a little but the doctor did not seem concerned at all. His words were "your baby is measuring absolutely fine. We are not out of cookie cutters. everyone grows at a different rate". The clinic has already released my chart and now I just get to see my family doctor until she sends me to a gynae. I think I am gonna ask my family doctor to do another early ultrasound in a week or two to monitor the growth. I have been reading about babies measuring a little behind and there's all sorts of things. Anyone have any ideas. I still need a lot of your prayers.

Yep! It's True.

Just got a call from the RE's clinic and yes I am Pregnant. I still cannot believe this! Thank you so much God. OK now this may sound weird but I don't have my beta numbers because apparently my clinic doesn't even do blood test. They only do urine pregnancy test. Canada is weird! I don't know if not having beta numbers is a good thing or bad because if I did have my numbers I would obsess over them unnecessarily. But the good news is, my ultrasound is scheduled for February 19th. So exactly 2 weeks from today. Woohoo. I don't have any symptoms yet other than the occasional cramps but the nurse said that was completely normal. Oh! she said my due date would be October 9, 2009. Awww.

A BFP for me! Really?

I could not resist testing this morning and yes I got a BFP ! Oh my god ! I have never seen one of those before. The line was faint but it was definitely there. We'll be 7dp5dt this afternoon so I think it's OK to have a faint line (no chance that I still have the trigger shot in my system because that was 14 days ago right?). I know we still have to cross a lot of hurdles but we I have never had a BFP in my life so I am over the moon right now. It's so surreal.
I was awake at 5:00am and debating whether I should test or not. DH wakes up at 5:30 and leaves for work at 6:30. So I waited for him to get up and go downstairs. I jumped out of bed as soon as he left the room and POAS. I stared at the stick for a minute and thought there's no way I will have a positive. I was just about to burst into tears when I saw a faint line building up. I could not believe it. I ran downstairs to hubby and showed him the line. he said "yes that is of course a line" I hugged him again and gain and was shaking with the stick in my hand. It still feels like a dream. I will test with a digital on the weekend and then I have my beta on Feb. 4. Thanks for praying for me everyone.

6dp5dt and already dying to test?

I love saying 6dp5dt. Awww. but yes I can't wait to test. Since yesterday morning I have this urge to test but I keep forcing myself to wait another day. I know some people get a positive test as soon as 5dp5dt but I am too scared to test. I really want to but then I think what if it's not was I want to see. I will see how much longer I can wait. Although I am really keen on testing tomorrow morning because we'll be 7dp5dt. Waiting Sucks. Please people send positive vibes my way.

A beautiful Blast

Yes they transferred a beautiful blast on Thursday. Hubby and I were not sure if we should accept the RE's suggestion and transfer only one because we had three good blasts. But since the embryologist said we would still have the same success rate since the blasts were of such good quality we went ahead and transferred one. s/he looks beautiful on the picture they gave us. They were able to freeze one more blast, so we now have a total of 8 embies on ice. I was on bed rest for the last 48 hours. Hubby really spoilt me rotten but honestly I hate being on bed all the time. My bum started hurting. Oh! my official pregnancy test date is Feb. 4 but I know I will do a hpt way earlier. Any idea how early you can test after a 5 day transfer?

Transfer Today..

Yayyy we get to bring home our embies today. I'm really excited. I just wish everything will go smoothly and the end result is worth all the wait and pain. Out of the 4 embies that the lab selected for blast, 3 have made it. The other 7 were frozen on day 4. The embryologist said our results were really good so far. That makes me feel so good like I passed some exam with really good grades hahaha. Anyways, the transfer is at 2:00pm. We have to be at the clinic at 1:30pm. Glad we live only 35 minutes away from the clinic. I will be on bed rest for the rest of today and tomorrow, so will update on Saturday. Wish me luck!!

Wohoo we can trasfer a blastocyst

Our embryos are doing great. all 12 are still growing nicely and our embryologist said we can do a 5 day transfer or maybe even a 6 day (never heard of that..) . I am so happy about that. I really wanted to have 5 day transfer.

I had to go to the clinic this morning because my belly was really tender all day yesterday. I couldn't even walk straight and Sunday night, I don't know what happened I went to the bathroom around 12:30 pm and fainted there. I fell on the floor and was unconscious for a couple minutes. The sound of me falling on the bathroom floor woke hubby up and he helped me up. I now have a big bruise on my cheekbone and it hurts. But yeah it was really scary. But all is good. My re did an ultrasound this morning and said everything looked fine. I may have just dehydrated. We are a go for the transfer. I am so excited.

Good Work!

The retrieval went well yesterday. they retrieved total 16 eggs. 11 were mature, 2 borderline and 3 immature. I was very sleepy afterwards so just snoozed the rest of the afternoon. I could watch the retrieval on the screen in front of me but I couldn't really make out what was on the screen as I was sedated. I could feel a few pokes here and there like someone was playing around with my ovaries but it wasn't bad at all. I just feel a little tender in my tummy today but nothing unbearable.

Now let's get to the Fert. report.
The embryologist called very early this morning. I was still in bed. 12 fertilized normally. yayyy... 2 fertilized abnormally so they can't use them. They are gonna try to fertilize the remaining 2 as they did not fertilize. But I am happy with the 12 that fertilized. I mean 12 is not bad. We'll find out more about the growth status tomorrow morning. Kindly keep me in your prayers. It means a lot to me.

Retrieval Tomorrow.

Retrieval is schedules for 10:00am tomorrow. We are supposed to be at the clinic by 9:30am. The trigger shot last night wasn't too bad but my belly hurts where I gave the shot. I have a few bruises from all the shots. But guess what no PIO shots for me. The RE gave me a prescription for Prometrium suppositories and Estrace. My clinic thinks PIO shots are no better than the suppositories but all RE's have a different opinion I guess. But I am happy that I don't have to take any more shots.

I will try to update after the retrieval tomorrow or maybe Sunday. Until then please keep me in your prayers.

Trigger Tonight!!!!

Yes that's right. Only ten days of stims and trigger shot tonight. I was feeling so nauseous all day yesterday so I didn't go to work. But yesterday's appointment at the RE was really good. The RE explained everything to me as he measured my lining and counted and measured my follicles. My lining yesterday was 11mm which they say is great. He counted 14 follicles total and they were all between 16mm and 21mm.
I saw two different doctors this morning and one of them was in training so she was not an expert. the other doctor was helping her out while she did my ultrasound. But yes the follicles are at a good size and i am to trigger tonight with 7500 units of HCG. My estrogen this morning was 9456 (this is Canadian scale and I know it's different from the states). The nurse said it was on the high side but it's still good. So hopefully no OHSS. And they counted 14 follicles again this morning. 9 on the right and 5 on the left. Lefty sucks but I know it's not her fault because she's the one covered with endo adhesions.
Only one shot tonight. Yayy and tomorrow will be shot free. They gave me some Valium to take tomorrow night so I can sleep well. Please pray that everything goes well.
