Saw the Heartbeat!!


Today we had our first OB appointment and U/S. I was so nervous that we would see nothing. But the doctor turned the u/s screen and showed me the most beautiful thing in the world, my babies heartbeat. I started to cry. I am so happy that things are going well. The baby measured 6 weeks 2 days, so about 1 day ahead. I am so happy right now. I go back in four weeks and then will go back about 1.5 weeks later to have my pre-cerclege appointment, then I will get the cerclege the next day. I have to say I am so happy that I got to see my little one's heartbeat. It made me feel like everything is going to be alirght this time.

Morning Sickness, Exhaustion, and Heartburn!!

Well, the morning sickness is starting to get a little worse. Yesterday morning I threw up, so I know my little bean is crowing in there. I cannot believe that I am having heartburn already. So I got out my bottle of tums yesterday. I am so tired, I mean last night I was ready for bed at around 8:30. Is it possible to love my little one this much already. I love this little one so much. I am so scared on losing this little baby. I am so anxious to go to my doctor's appointment which is next Wednesday. That for me is the next hurdle I need to overcome to ease some of my fears. I just need to see my little bean on the u/s screen and see that he or she is doing alright. There are so many worries during pregnancy that it is amazing. I have a feeling that this little one will make it but that will not stop me from worrying.

HCG levels now at 661!!

I got the results back from my second hcg level test and it was 661, my first hcg level on Friday was 172, so my levels have doubled and everything is fine there. My progesterone is in the normal range, but it is in the normal low range. My doctor wants me to go on progesterone suppositories just to supplement my progesterone levels. Now I call the pharmacy and they tell me that they have to order them and they will not have them till Friday or tha they hope that they will come in on Friday. I am like geez, pregnant woman here with borderline low progesterone. So I put a call into my doctor to see if this is fine. Besides that I am doing alright. I am exhausted, nauseous, going to the bathroom all the time, and I am getting heartburn. All in a day of a pregnant woman.

I did talk to the doctor today and she said that I will definitely be getting a cerclege at 12 weeks. I am also going to a consultation visit with a high risk doctor to see what she recommends. I know in the least I will get frequent ultrasounds to measure my cervix. This means I get to see my little one a lot. Yeah!!

Spotting Gone and Everything Fine

Well, the spotting has been gone for a couple of days. It was most likely just implantation spotting. I got my first beta results back and they were 173. This is right where I should be for where I am in this pregnancy. My progesterone results have not come back yet. They should on Monday. I am also getting my blood drawn again on Monday to get another beta level to compare to my Friday level. I am feeling pretty good, just exhausted, slightly nauseous, and hungry all the time. I know that everything will be alright with this little one.

Spotting!!

Well, here we go again. I have had off and spotting of brown blood since Wednesday evening. I have spotting with every pregnancy, so it is so nerve racking. I know in my heart everything is alright, but I cannot help but worry. The spotting is not constant and there seems to be more when I move.

I went this morning to get my quant and progesterone levels checked. I will not know the results until this afternoon. I had low progesterone with my first pregnancy, so I might have low progesterone with this one. I just would love to have a easy pregnancy, but I guess that will not happen. I am just trying to take it as easy as I can. I have scheduled my first doctor's appointment for the 31st of October. I will be about 6 1/2 weeks at that time.

I am just hoping that my two angels are looking out for there brother or sister.

I got my BFP!!

I just got my BFP yesterday morning, let me tell you how suprised and excited I am. I tested again this morning and still pg. The lines were much darker today. I am nervous as this pg will be so different than the others, but this time things will be done. I decided to test this morning because last night I decided to use an ovulation test and see if I could use it as a pregnancy test. Well, I used the ovulation test and the test line was just a little darker than the control line, so I figured I was either about to ovulate or was pg. Well, I took two test this morning and both were positive. I took a digital test and it said pregnant. That was great to see. I told my husband once he woke up. He is so happy. I will be nervous throughout this pg, but I will be super happy as well.

I have a call into my doctor's office, so I do not know when my first appointment will be.
