Thanks, Ladies! Yes, we had a scan today. I was so nervous I felt sick, but the tech was so amazingly wonderful. We saw the gestational sac, yolk sac, fetal pole, and baby - measuring right on time. Heartrate is 131 bpm - perfect.
It's going to be a busy week! I'll let you know when I'm back from wedding/Maui - we will have photos for anyone interested in seeing.
Thanks for your support!
@ProcessofBecoming - Any updates on your end? I've been a bit absent, and lurking on Nov2014 Moms, but not really on 1st Tri or PG>35....
IUIs: 2 in 2012 ... Both BFN IVF #1: 10/16/13 ...BFP, however it was not viable and ended in an early loss at 7weeks. IVF #2:Feb '14 ... Cancelled. Positive beta at baseline appt, became very early loss. IVF #2: Apr '14 ... Retrieval Only. 2 embryos made it to day 3 freeze & will be batched with IVF #3 for PGD testing. IVF #3: June '14 ...Retrieval Only. 4 embryos growing, all arrested before day 5. Two from April thawed, but also arrested. Currently benched while determining how to proceed.
Great news @on42. I was getting nervous because we hadn't heard anything. Have a wonderful wedding and trip to Maui. It's great that your baby will be with you on your wedding day. Congrats
How exciting!! Have a wonderful wedding and HM!! Can't wait to see pictures!

YAY! I am so happy to hear that all is well! What fantastic news for you and your hubby to be!
As for me, all is quiet here. We have our son's second birthday party this weekend and then next week (on Wednesday), I will have my "confirm the pregnancy" appointment and ultrasound. I've been not-so-patiently waiting for that. In the meantime, my OB wants me to consider Lovenox (I have autoimmune issues). I haven't been tested for clotting disorders since my pregnancy with my son, so I am going in for a full work up with the rheumatologist. A little worried about that, as I fear that new antibodies could always crop up (let's hope not). But better to know now and be prepared.
Otherwise, I'm nauseous as hell, perpetual dry mouth, exhausted, my hips hurt, and I'm cranky (well, crankier). I guess these are all good signs.
CONGRATS TO YOU again!!! You must be so happy!!!

@processofbecoming - I will be looking out for your update and definitely wishing you the best with the ultrasound and test results! I hear you with the nausea - blech. I'm also suuuuper tired and very irritable. But I do love that it makes me feel everything is on track.
Thanks so much. I am very much in "lurk mode" on this board, but I still read a lot of the posts and occasionally chime in here and there I have intro'ed on PG > 35, but won't intro on Nov. 2014 until after the first ultrasound. I guess I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hopefully, all of our stories will have happy endings!!!
