Cuttin down on the meds!!!

We went to the fertility Dr. this monring. I can now do progesterone shots every other day instead of every day. I don't have to take the estrogen pills or keep putting on the patches either. I am starting to be a normal pregnant person. By next Monday all meds should stop except the prenatal vitamin, fish oil and baby aspirin. I will take those until the end. Hope you enjoy the new slide show. I will update it with more pics soon.

WE HAVE 3 HEARTBEATS!

We went this morning and baby #3 heart is beating. She is still measuring a week behind but she is growingand staying strong. We are going to the beachhouse this weekend for some much needed relaxation and Dawn's wedding. We have only begun our triplet journey. I am so anxious to see what the following months bring.

And then there were 3

We went for an ultrasound this morning hoping to hear 1 heartbeat. Imagine our shock when we saw 2. Then the nurse moved the ultrasound and we saw another sac with one in it. The one by itself is small and there isn't a heartbeat. It's only measuring 5 weeks and I am 6 weeks. So for sure identical twins and maybe triplets. Shock doesn't even begin to explain it.

Ok so the blinkies say it all. I am finally pregnant. We started another IVF on 2-25-07. I took the shots for 12 days and did the HCG trigger shot on 3-10-07. I had the egg retrieval on 3-12 and egg transfer on 3-15-07. This time they only got 5 eggs and 2 fertilized. We were so worried this cycle would be a bust. They transferred a 4 cell and 8 cell. I have a pic at home I will have to upload it. I went to the Dr. on 3-23 and they said my #'s looked good (hcg level 116). I decided to take a home pregnancy test on 3-25 and it was positive. SO of course I tested again on 3-26, 3-27 and 3-28. My official pregnancy test at the Dr. was on 3-29-07 and the hcg level was 385. Aaron's parent's, Ali and Presley came in to visit so we told them the good news. By Monday night I had told everyone. I am not good at keeping secrets. 4-2-07 I went back for more bloodwork and the hcg level is 2246. That's really a good #. Tomorrow is my first ultrasound and we will be able to see how many we have in there. Aaron and Ashley are so excited. We are still nervous and pray everything continues to go well.
