Warning pregnancy talk!

Well, We had a wonderful vacation in Orlando. The lines weren't bad and no one got bent out of shape about anything. We stayed at the beautiful Hilton Grand Vacations Resort-Tuscany. It was an amazing 1 bedroom condo with a full kitchen and washer and dryer to boot! I came home with no dirty clothes from our trip!!! Now for other news, Hubs and I saw the most amazing heartbeat today!!! Galloping horses to a very quick beat!! Started to decrease my meds. One more U/S on Friday and I graduate to hopefully being just boring old pregnant. I will keep you posted to the end. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you still! I haven't forgotten about any of you!

Meet Dot!

I wish I could figure out how to do pics because I would post the most beautiful dot ever seen!! We had an ultrasound today and it my RE's professional opinion he says, "You have a sac and something in it!" Whoo Hoo!! I love sac's with prizes! Too early to see heartbeat yet so we will return for next u/s on the 25th! They wanted to do one next week, but since I will be having a love affair with Mickey next week, Pregnant Bliss it is!~ At least for a moment I can pretend that all the worry is over and I will be normal and boring from here on out! Beta today was 2076 and P4 was 27 maintaining! I know that I am by no means out of the woods and I have quite the road ahead, but for the first time since Nov of last year I feel like I can breathe! Thanks for all your support and kindness, your words and wishes have meant the world to me and have made this journey so much easier! (((huggs to all))) I hope to bring many Mickey stories home after next and the news from the home front!

Well, I went and had my beta done again and it was 979! Something has definitely attached itself. Progesterone 27! U/S on Friday! Disney on Saturday! I hope for the best, still cautiously dreaming, and praying often.

Not sure exactly what is happening, but Beta is still rising and was 288 on Friday which is a shorter doubling time. Nothing is ever easy with IF as we all know. I go back Tuesday for another check. I have more symptoms now than I have previously. I have a pooch that I get a charlie horse on the sides if I stretch too far to either way. My boobs are killing me and unfortunately my daughters head is at the same height. So every time she runs to hug me I cringe. I have major food aversions, no real morning sickness per say, sometimes mid chew I decide that I am repulsed by what I am eating. It has gotten bad enough that I have actually had to spit out what I was chewing. The poor waiters that have taken care of us in the last week must think I am a wack job. They always ask me if there is something wrong with the food. So I regretfully tell them it was wonderful 5 min ago! The old sniffer has kicked in and I have a constant, "OMG Do you smell that?" look on my face. And my hips, they kill~! Both hips feel like I have been in stirrups for a year. Sore not sharp pain, like I went dancing all night and I never sat down. Still too terrified to take anything, so I suffer! And sleep, I can sleep all day and all night! Then turn around and be up all night long for a couple nights then want to sleep for another week 24/7! Just found out that we are going to Disney World on Saturday for a whole week!! Whoo hoo!! I just asked that we only do parks every other day and for a lot of patience. I can't wait, I haven't seen Mickey in 10 years!! It has been too long! Anyway, I hope all is well with you guys. I pray for you daily.

Not Sure what to make of this......

Well, I had my second Beta today and it was 119. Which is a doubling time of 3.26. It was three days apart. I guess I don't understand what the 3.26 means. Dr Google says that it is fine and it should double every 2-3 days. I am right at that huh? RE's office just said that it was less than they wanted to see, but good enough to not do another one for a week. WTF? what does that mean? Help me out girls. I think I might ask them to retest me on Friday so I can at least have a restful instead of fretful weekend. My progesterone was 28 by the way.
Hubs grandmother's birthday is Sunday and the whole family is getting together for lunch and cake. We were going to tell them then because A) I have an obvious pudge already B) cause MIL already suspects C) we have told a good many of our friends (they all know what we are going through) that we are and if MIL gets wind that they and my parents knew before them she will hold it over our heads forever. She's like that!
But I don't want to tell them on Sunday and only to see my Beta drop on Monday. I just can't stand it, the thought that my grade A #1 +++ super dooper embies would leave me! I want to cry. Which leads me to another thing, I am so emotional it is ridiculous. I can't tell if I want to burst into tears or hit something or somebody!!! I am still cramping pretty bad it is like every third day I feel like this is it, I am cramping, its over. Needless to say I am a nervous wreck!!! I f I am currently dancing to the Toilet Paper Tango, Soggy Panty Somba, Forgetful Foxtrot, and the there's still two lines dance. I am just ready to do the babymakin two step and just do that one for the next nine months.
So here's another question.....how long does it take to absorb the progesterone from the vaginal m&m's? I have to do them when I am at work, but my job requires me to be on my feet a good bit so I try to avoid work for a little while while I wait for absorption.
I guess that is all I have for now. I am still praying for you all.
