We had our first ultrasound yesterday and everything was looking a-ok! We have one little bean who decided to stick around. It was such a relief to see the flickering heartbeat and nice round yolk sack. Unfortunately, the doctor had not scheduled the appointment as a "major" ultrasound so we didn't have the equipment that could count the beats per minute. But, after figuring that out we went ahead and scheduled the right appointment for next Wednesday.
The doctor took the crown to rump length and measured 5mm which puts us at 6w1d which is just one day short of the "real" age which is 6w2d. I'm now anxiously waiting for Wednesday's appointment! Does the waiting and anticipation ever end?
On another note, I can't wait until I can stop doing the PIO shots and these estrogen patches. My estrodial was at 868 and progesterone was at 91, so I'm hoping that I'll be weaned off of these soon and then maybe, just maybe, my nausea will lighten up a little (well, a girl can hope, right?).
Do genes matter?

Glad your ultrasound went well and all looked OK with baby! As far as the waiting and anticipation - I think for those of us who have been through IF and IVF, it's just becomes the norm! Good luck at your next u/s!
Soo - Ive been checking repeatedly to see when you would update. I'm soo freaking happy for you. It's way past due your turn and I'm just soo happy for you that you are here. And to answer your q, no, the waiting never ends :o) I hope you are on cloud 9 right now. Congrats to you and doc! Xoxoxoxo.

can't wait to hear from you after wednesday's u/s!
congrats! so so so happy for you!
How exciting to see the heartbeat flickering! I hope you can stop the progesterone soon, too. It helped me be less moody and less irritated 'down there' if you know what I mean.
Yay!
I'm so happy for you guys! So glad that everything is going well :) I hope you get to stop the PIO shots soon! I had to do 10 weeks of them!
