4th Beta/ Ultrasound Today

I went in this morning for another internal ultrasound where I got to feel like a porn star again by inserting the foot long (and then some) camera into myself. Fun, Fun, Fun! I am happy at this office that the techs don't put it in themselves but I am not kidding when I say the thing is LONG! It doesn't really hurt though until she starts exploring sideways to check the ovaries. I feel so violated! Just kidding.

The technician was unable to see much because we are only 5.5 weeks right now. She was however able to confirm the gestational sac is in the right place and attached in my uterus. There was a extremely small dot that we kept seeing in the sac that she thought was the yolk sac but couldn't confirm if that was it or even if there were one or more babies yet.

Later in the afternoon, the RE office called and said things look right on schedule and that there is a singleton in the sac. So, that is a relief- even though part of me still wanted to experience carrying twins. A very small part of me!

I also found out the new beta number from today was 5658 and my progesterone level jumped to a WHOPPING 11.2!!!! Yippee! I know, that is not that high to get excited over but when you are looking at a 3.77 last Friday, the 11.2 looks like a miracle.

Next week sometime I will need to schedule another ultrasound and hopefully at that one we will be able to see the heartbeat. Hopefully R can make it to that appointment with me.

Until then, its still no exercise or other stuff with the hubbie. I swear if he still loves me after all this it will be another miracle.
