U/s today, at 6w4d. C went with me this time, as for once it didn't conflict with working. He was a little uncomfortable with the concept of the internal u/s, but seemed to get over it pretty quickly when the tech spun the screen around to show us the heartbeat. Our little one is measuring at exactly 6 weeks, a little beind but at this stage, even the teeniest mismeasurement can account for that. And Charlotte measured behind at the first u/s, but had caught up by the second one, so we're not concerned. The heartrate was a steady 115-120 bpm (the tech told us 115, then the nurse in our follow-up conversation said it was 120). There appeared to have been a second sac, but it was empty at this point, and impossible to tell if it had ever had anything viable in it.

Our next u/s is on 7/7, along with a final meeting with the RE who will "release" me to an OB. From then on, we'll be just another normal pregnant family. Hurray!

  2. Just found you via Mel's lushary and I'd love to follow along with your journey as I'm 41 and we're considering trying for a sibling for our IVF-conceived daughter. Congrats on your BFP! You must be over the moon! :)
