Infertility

today's update (SAIFW)

well....there's still a heartbeat, and there was a little more growth. Here are the stats - if anyone knows a good website where I can compare growth stats, let me know!

2/20: measured 5w3d, no fetal pole, no hb (should have been 6w3d)

2/24: measured 5w6d (26mm), slow hb (should have been 7w0d)

2/29:  measured 30 mm (so growth of 4 mm in 4 days), hb was estimated at 80bpm (their machine doesn't measure it - nurse just guessed). I should be 7w5d today

RE doesn't know what to think or predict. He couldn't give us % chance  of survival, but "optimistically" said that we can't rule out a "positive outcome" since there is still a hb.

My spotting was heavier on Friday but has gradually slowed down to almost nothing today. RE couldn't find a source for the bleeding. I'm guessing it's b/c of stopping and starting PIO last week - maybe the hormonal changes caused it.

I'll probably go back at the end of this week for another u/s. I have zero pregnancy symptoms, but I guess I'm still pregnant until further notice.

thanks for riding this roller coaster with me!
