5 Weeks 5 days

So today I had my first ultrasound. I was sooo nervous obviously going in but things went really well! I saw the gestational sac and the egg yolk! I am also measuring 5 weeks, 5 days which is 2 more days than what I was thinking I was (5 weeks 3 days).  Here is a pic of the sonogram:

One thing she did notice is that she didn't find my corpus luteum cyst on either ovary - which means it's a damn good thing I am on progesterone supplements because I would be seriously lacking. I don't know why I didn't produce one - not sure if being on the progesterone after ovulation forced my body to not make one or not. Who knows. I just hope the supplements do their job with no issues. I am on 600mg a day so my doctor thinks that is enough to get me through until hopefully the placenta takes over.

  I have the 6 week appt next thursday (the 15th) and hopefully things will have progressed enough to where we can see a God willing healthy heartbeat. I am cautiously optimistic and still realize anything can change at any moment...so I am sitting here happy, yet grounded. I just pray things continue going the way they are...*happy thoughts....happy thoughts*

Betas

Just received my 4th beta results and it's increased from 808 to 1497! Great news most definitely! I am still on pins and needles and taking it one day at a time. I have an ultrasound scheduled for the 6th as well. They want me to do ANOTHER beta test on Friday which I feel is just a bit ridiculous! These places I feel like to milk that insurance $$ whenever possible. On top of that - they stress me the f$%k out!!! I don't need that stress anymore if my numbers are going up or down! It's excruciating to sit and wait for the results all day not knowing if this is going to progress or not! Pure torture! I hate that I have to go in AGAIN...but what can I do. Ugh.

Anyway, good news still! Keep those prayers up!! Grow baby grow!

Betas

My beta is at 19.5 as of yesterday. Definitely pregnant. Now I go in tomorrow to see if it's doubling. That's the important factor. Last time I did this it started at 23 and only went to 24 after two days. So naturally, I am nervous.

 I have a certain peace about it in a way though. I guess it comes after going through this for so many times. The peace is, I have no control over what will happen. It will either be or it won't be. It's out of my hands at this point. I have done so much already to try and change the outcome and if it still doesn't work out - then I won't give up, but I will leave it knowing I am doing everything in my power to make it work. It's all I can do, so I am ok with that.

  I will update tomorrow when I get my beta results. :)
