And then there was a heartbeat!

edited July 2013 in Pregnant after IF

Good morning!  Had my u/s today and heard 1 beautiful (loud!) heartbeat!  123bpm!  I even saw the flicker on the screen!  I didn't think we were going to see that so early!  I am 6w5d today.  Loved the sound of hearing our baby's heartbeat!  It was an amazing appt!  The second sac unfortunately was in fact empty.  I'm okay with it but it is still sad knowing that I lost another embryo that didn't get a chance at life - that is our second one.  Today I'm a little indifferent about it but I'm still thrilled and grateful of having at least 1 healthy baby after this crazy struggle with IF!  Next u/s and last apt with RMA is August 5!  Then I have my first OB apt scheduled for August 13th! 

On another note, I'm not very happy with the change of TB again!  I had all my boards on my phone and it got all messed up with the change and I haven't been able to get to them unless I'm on a computer so that's been very annoying!  I hope it all gets straightened out!  Also does anyone know how to fix your signature??  I have more in my history and a ticker that got lost!!!??
