Seven Weeks Pregnant

     I had my ultrasound on Thursday and like my entire infertility journey it was mixed news.  The great news was yes there is a heart beat.  And it was a strong little heart rate of 136.  Baby is measuring at 6 weeks 5 days which was fine, I am seven weeks 1 day.  And the gestational sac was a little small but still in range.  What was not okay was the yolk sac.  It was measuring at 6.2 mm.  It should be between 3-5 mm.  So of course at this stage in a pregnancy there is really nothing I can do but wait.  Waiting is horrible and the internet is a terrible friend.  What I have learned it that most pregnancies with enlarged yolk sacks end in miscarriage.  That my baby has a 50/50 chance of making it through the first trimester.  And if my baby does make it an increased risk of  some type of genetic disorder.  I go back in a week to see if my baby's heart is still beating and praying that the yolk sack has collapsed down.

5 Weeks Pregnant I Think??

  The two week wait was more difficult than I thought it would be.  Although I told myself I wouldn't test I did....like two or three times a day.  I finally stopped after my first beta test test which came back at 310.  Six days later my beta is now 2141 and my progesterone is 29.  One more beta test next week and then an ultrasound scheduled for the 23rd.  I can't believe I can almost call myself pregnant.  As much as I believe that I am I know it's not official until after we see the heartbeat.  So I feel like I'm in another two week wait but doesn't feel quite so stressful.
