Hey Everyone,
Whew..this new life as a PAL is almost too much for one heart to take sometimes! After 5 blood draws, my numbers continued to double..and my doctor's office scheduled me for an u/s this morning. I think I'm only 5w1d, so I was afraid that it would be too early..but much to my surprise, we immediately saw the sac and the sweetest little dot (or fetal pole!!) :) The baby is measuring 5w5d and seems to be "implanted nicely" my doctor said. Whew...certainly a long road ahead, but I am thankful for these small milestones! My next one is to pass 5w6d which is when we lost the baby last time. Then we go back the week after Thanksgiving for another u/s to hopefully see the hb!
I also started taking progesterone today. My doctor said that if it were her, she would take it. I figured that it can't hurt anything..although I do understand that it could prolong a pregnancy that isn't good. At this point, I'll be in the office for u/s's enough, that hopefully we'd see early enough if that were going to be the case...BUT, for now..we are staying positive and hopeful!
Thanks for letting me share!
Hugs,
Stephanie

I was on progesterone for the first 12w, my progesterone was low.
Oh Stephanie,
That is just wonderful, I'm so happy everything is progessing, that is great.

Yeah for a good appt!
Glad that all is looking well and little bean is snuggled in there for the long haul!
Hugs!
Stephanie,
Congratulations. It sounds like things are going very well.
I'm using progesterone, too. I've been told that it can't hurt, but may help so it's worth trying it.
I'm looking forward to seeing your post about seeing the heart beat.
