Perfect ultrasound


The ultrasound turned out great. Baby measured 3mm, just right for dates. The sac was the perfect size. The yolk sac was great. The heart was beating 120bpm, and looked very strong. I am in awe of the miracle.

Incidental finding of fluid in the uterus, seen on the right side of photo. About as much as 2 more baby sacs, lol. No wonder I am "showing" so soon. It's like I have triplets worth of fluid in there.

Perfect blood test results

My beta hcg came back today at 16,694! The progesterone was 20.26. I know I said that I would call on Monday, but then I decided it was better to get it over with than be nervous all weekend. I checked the beta base website and their singleton pregnancy chart goes up to 30dpo(days past ovulation). Today I am 31dpo. The median hcg for 30dpo on their chart is 16,670! Wow! Can't be more spot-on than that! I sure hope this means that I have a baby in there with a beating heart. I will find out tomorrow am. They are getting me in Saturday am for an ultrasound. I have tried to be pessimistic about this whole thing to protect my battered heart. I can't help but feel very very hopeful at this point. All I need is a heartbeat tomorrow and a good CVS (chorionic villus sampling) result in mid May, and I'm good to go.

Hopefully my last hpt pic


Here is one last pic. I wanted to take another test to assure myself that the hcg is not fading away. 5 more days and I call the doctor's office.
