DE FET# 3 - 8 Weeks, 2 Days

Starting this week I have had increasingly more bouts of nausea, to the point where it’s not subsiding and now it’s coupled with a slight case of acid reflux. In the 7^th week I was able to keep the bouts of nausea at bay by frequently eating. Well that’s not the case now. I try to always have something in my stomach but at this rate I’m going to become a whale. Along with all that I’ve been kind of dizzy and sooo tired that I could literally fall asleep at my desk.

I see my doctor for the 1^st trimester appt November 25^th, and if I can hold off until then I will definitely be asking him if he can prescribe me some Diclectin.  Maybe it will help me cause if it’s like this now I can only imagine what it’s going to be like later.

 

The other day I was doing some Googling and was reading that lots of moms deliver twins between 28 to 33 weeks. Well that kind of put a little damper on things becuase I have to work a total of 52 consective weeks in order to qualify for Mat Leave pay and be gaurenteed my job back a year later. As it was, my due date with an October 9th transfer would put me to June 26th (of course I didn't think we'd have the luck of haveing two which usually makes the due date sooner). I didn't end up coming back from my previous Mat Leave until June 1 because I extended it by two weeks. So if I make it to 37 weeks that will put me at June 4th and I'll be golden but then that means that I have to work right up to that point and from what I'm reading that would probably be a very unrealistic expectation on my part. 

 

Oh well I can't control that. I'm just happy that we've made it to this point. Ultrasound on the 24th. I pray all looks good.  

DE FET #3 - 6 Weeks, 5 Day Ultrasound

OMG is all I have to say!! Years and years of trying and I finally got my little boy and now - and I do realize that things can change in a split second but for now I will remain positive - We are pregnant with TWINS!!! I can't believe it. I'm in utter shock!

Twin A was measuring 6 weeks 5 days with a heartbeat of 122bpm and Twin B was measuring 6 weeks 4 days with a heartbeat of 116bpm. I'm so excited.

Estrogen 347

Progesterone 41.8 

DE FET #3 - 6 Weeks, 4 Days

Since my last post things have been pretty uneventful. I've just been biding my time, which I might add has been going by veeerrry slowly. :(

Tomorrow, however is ultrasound day. I'm so excited that the day is finally arriving. Now I just pray that we see what we need to see and that all is ok.

The past few days I've been second guessing whether or not its actually worked or not. I feel like maybe I'm feeling too confident that it's worked and I better tone it down a notch or else my dreams are going to be crushed. Then on the other had I feel like I have to be positive or it won't work. I hate what this waiting game does to ones mind. Just one more sleep, just one more sleep.

Symptoms don't seem to be as strong as last week, like not as hungry, not as tired, not as nauseous but I am still very thirsty. Could it be because something has happened when I had the little bleeding scare last week? I guess we just have to wait and see. Fingers crossed!

DE FET #3 - 5 Weeks, 4 Days

Today started out to be a very uneventful day. I decided to look back at around this time on my previous successful cycle to try and see if there were any similarities to this cycle, and at the time, there wasn't. Then almost like my DE FET #2 - 21dp5dt post in the body of it, it said that I had started to bleed at 5w4d. That's exactly today. And guess what. I started to bleed and it goes like this.

In the evening, around 5:00pm I had some weird stabbing like pains in my stomach, maybe it could've been gas pains but I wasn't sure so I decided to go to the washroom.  When I wiped there was a fair amount of watery red blood on the toilet paper. Maybe what most people consider spotting but not to me it wasn't.

I started to drink lots of water just in case this was happening because I hadn't drank enough water. Then at around 6:30pm I went to the washroom and it was still there, but it was getting a little lighter in color. The cramping was still there however but more like a dull pain. 

Now at 8:00pm it seems the cramping has pretty much subsided and the bleeding has become a lot less. Though It's kind of hard to tell how much less because I'm also using endometrin suppositories so some of its blood and some of it is the progesterone. Nonetheless I'm pretty sure it's getting lighter, I hope. Could this have been more implantation? 

I pray that everything is ok.

Oh and on the 27th of October I took another pic of the FERR's just to see the progress

DE FET #3 - 14dp5dt - Beta #3

I got my beta number, its 1835!! I think we are doing good, that's a 45.77 hour doubling time. Now I wait for the Ultrasound which will be November 6th.

As for symptoms, not much really. I have slight nausea so I find that I have to eat quit frequently and Im hungry ALL the time. I'm also thirsty a lot and fairly tired most of the time too. Let's hope those are all good signs.

And then for comparison from the previous numbers
