10 weeks pregnant!

Reaching 10 weeks feels pretty monumental to me! But it also comes with doubts and fears, especially since I didn't have an ultrasound this week. I keep wondering, "is everything ok in there??!!" I hope I could hold my paranoia back until my NT scan. 

I did a fun little "predictor" thing on the Internet: 

Let's see how accurate this will be. It has a 50/50 chance to get the gender correct. Lol. I doubt my MFM or OB will let me go over my due date for delivery. Guess we shall see! 

Here's what 10 weeks looks like: 

How far along: 10 weeks

How big is baby: Strawberry, from the Ovia App: 



Weight Gain: -3 lbs

Stretch Marks: No new ones

Symptoms: Sore breasts, nausea, , food aversions, frequent peeing, emotional, joints hurts, ligament pain. Fatigue is lifting a bit!!! I have a little more energy, but get tired easily and need to take constant breaks 

Sleeping: overall sleeping is better, but I'm a side sleeper and my sides seem to get sore quickly, making me toss and turn.

Food cravings: sardines! I haven't entertained this one, but my mouth gets watery just thinking about it.

Food aversions: same as last week - raw chicken, raw meat smells, Eggs

Maternity Clothes: I don't need them yet, but my jeans are extremely uncomfortable at the waist. In anticipation, have bought some work maternity pants and some maternity jeans, waiting for them to arrive. I think most of my shirts will work for pregnancy, unless I get really big. So holding off for now. 

Movement: too early!

What I did / Got for Baby: I haven't bought anything just yet, but I have started going through old baby items to sort through what I'm getting rid of and what's still good.

What I miss: Eating cereal, rice, bread... any carbs!

Workouts: None. But with my short energy boosts, I have gotten a lot done at my house!

What I'm looking forward to: Finding out the gender and getting my NT scan.

Best moment of the week: Getting bursts of energy!

FET 2 (Cycle #11): Baseline Ultrasound + FET Calendar

Image
It's so weird to jump from cycle to cycle! It's been a long time since I've done that... since my IUI's really. Yesterday was my beta test for Cycle 10 and today I had my baseline ultrasound to start my FET#2 Cycle. I had my ultrasound and everything seems to be well with my ovaries. Although my left ovary was hard to find (again).  The cyst from Cycle 10 is gone. Yay for that! My ovaries seem to have recovered from the stim meds and I officially start Birth Control tomorrow. My clinic has moved quickly and I already have my FET Calendar! Crazy. I have it listed at the bottom of this entry. A few things: My RE wants me to do another Saline Ultrasound (Sonohysterogram or SHG). I hate those things! I did the last one in November and I guess they recommend doing them every 6-9 months. Really hoping no polyp is found, like at my first Saline Ultrasound . If they find any polyps or fibroids, I'll have to make a choice to move forward with the FET or do another hystero...

My Induction Story and my Son's Birth - Day #2

Here is the continuance of my induction story. For how the first day of induction went, please see my entry on  Day #1 . Here is what happened on Day #2. Sunday, May 28, 2017 6:30am : They take the Cervidil out. The cervix check HURT LIKE HELL!!! The nurse didn't tell me what she was doing... but she decided to stretch my cervix while she was in there. She stretched it from a 1 to a 3! Ouch and ouch and ouch!!!! Argh. Not to mention she stretched it during a contraction -- so it was double (triple/quadruple) ouch. Effaced: 70% Dilation: 3cm  Position: -2  10:30am : We get the green light from the OB to start Pitocin. This means no more eating real food and I would be on a strictly liquid diet. The Pitocin goes through the IV and they would up the dosage every 30 minutes. What was also kinda cool is they switched me to a wireless baby heart rate monitor, which allowed me to get out of bed more and I could wonder around the room. I couldn't go too far though because I neede...

FET #2 (Cycle 11): Monitoring Appointment #2 - Transfer is a GO!

Image
I'm at the point in my cycle where I'm obsessively thinking about my FET. Doesn't matter how busy I am, it's on my mind - constantly. Non-stop. 24-7. I don't remember if I was this intense or not on my last cycles. I've been trying to keep busy, but it doesn't matter - my mind and heart are "all in" about this FET. All in with my last two embryos from IVF #2 . I remember feeling so optimistic and happy with the results of that cycle and thinking I was just so much closer to having a baby. My very last 2 embryos, my day 6-ers that trudged to the blastocyst stage, is all that's left of that cycle and of all my IVF tries thus far. It feels like a huge deal to me. If this doesn't work, I have to start over. All over. Do it all again. My mind just can't wrap around that concept just yet...  I'll know in 14 days if this cycle works or not. My beta is on 9/30. Crazy. Two more weeks until I can know what my next few months are going to loo...
