Success after IF

NT was a bust :(

Apparently I'm too gassy.  Freaking, duh, it's called pregnancy!

I didn't eat well yesterday and apparently it caused some issues with being able to see clearly.  The image was really really fuzzy and she didn't even attempt the NT measurement.  She didn't think that internal would help.  So I go back on Saturday.  Apparently they have an IPS specialist there on saturdays and she said that he is the one who trained her on how to do the NT measurement.  And I'm under strict instructions to eat lots of fiber tomorrow, no junk, no beans, no cabbage (no problem there)

But, baby was very active.  We saw him/her throwing his/her little arms above it's head. Heart rate was 161 and CRL was measuring one day ahead at 12w 4d.  So at least there was good news!

And since my husband has commitments on Saturday, I think my mom is going to come up for the U/S.  She's already a crazed Grandma - running in my house and talking straight to the baby.  She never had an U/S with any of us, so this is going to blow her mind!

    After a loss at 13wks and years dealing with IF and failed treatments (3 failed IUI and 1 failed IVF), we have been blessed with DS (surprise BFP) and now his little sister (2nd round of clomid and TI) on her way. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker Pregnancy Ticker image
  • Hi!  12 weeks already.....Congratulations!!

    Too bad about the gas:(  Good luck on Saturday though.  And your mom will get to see the baby, that's nice for her too.

  • your mom will go crazy! We took our moms to the u/s because they never had one with us either and they were soooo damn cute.

  • How frustrating. I got so lucky with mine, my baby was sleeping with his/her back to the camera and would not flip over long enough to see anything. So they had me sit there for an addition 1/2 hour to see if baby would finally move, thank goodness he did!

    It is exciting for grandma though! And you get another peak too!! 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
