A good week but a stressful one. U/S looked great. Babies were measuring a bit ahead. I was 8w5d and they were 9w1d and 9w. Usually they're measuring behind so it was nice that they played catchup. I discuss this week why I'm thinking about discontinuing IV*Ig. I now have another 2 weeks in between u/s. I haven't had to wait this long yet to check in on the pumpkins so next week is going to be a lonnnnggggg week. Anyone have pro or con views on getting a doppler?

And as an answer to Courtney who posted today on the previouos post, they didn't unblock my tubes. I really wanted them too but my RE said they'd just close back up (they were gunked up with endo). I understand that if you have hydros, they'll want to remove your tubes but mine were just blocked without water in them.

A shorter podcast this week. Had a good OB appt and got to take a sneak peek at the 2 monkeys today. I went to a new patient class at my OB's office and it was so weird to be around happy pregnant women who had no fears. And it was weird to meet with a doctor who said things like "Congratulations." and "Everything looks great." I'm not used to that. I'm used to "Um, wow, we don't know what's wrong with you." and "Things don't look good." Please let this be a change in the tide. Let things go well from here on out. Good news is the SCH looks like it's gone. So hopefully no more bleeding. And here's an u/s pic of one of the monkeys.

So there's the latest pic of the babes. And, you can also see my stinking subchorionic hematoma too. I flipped it upside down because that way it looks like an alien. :) The babies form the eyes and the SCH forms the mouth. So sort of a long podcast this week where I talk about why it's hard to stay positive (I'm trying though) and how I have a healthy dose of survivor's guilt. I also lament about work life stresses and why DH and I, if we ever get to announce this pg to the world, will be telling everyone exactly how many IVFs it took.

It's been a rough day. Lots of red bleeding and cramping landed me in the clinic for an emergency ultrasound. I figured it had to be over. But low and behold: they're both still there. Both have heartbeats and both measured 6w3d (a few days behind but still OK). I was shocked and so relieved. I figured we would lose one at least just because my betas were so weird. To have both still there is so amazing. I go back in for an u/s on Wednesday. I was supposed to head to CA for a wedding on Thursday but we are having to cancel. Doc said travel is not a good idea right now because bleeding is never a good thing. For now, the bleeding has stopped and now I just wait for the next sneak peek at these 2 troopers who seem to be thriving in my war zone of a uterus.
