Success after IF
this is really happening!! (7w u/s)
I had my 7week u/s yesterday afternoon and we could see the little guy and his (her?) heart beating away at 130 bpm. I am over the moon. After all this time, it seems to surreal that I can actually be pregnant!
They took me off of progesterone starting yesterday, which freaks me out a bit. They said that once the heart is beating, there's enough progesterone being formed naturally to sustain the pregnancy. [deep breath, fingers crossed] I am walking around with the progesterone and syringe in my purse just in case I get some heavy bleeding or something. I don't even know if that makes sense, but at least it makes me feel better. :-)
InACity - I didn't log in till late late late last night, but thank you so much for thinking of me. I hope all that dancing didn't cause any inadvertant root canals!

YAY! That's great news! Cornell took me off progesterone at 7 weeks too and I was terrified but it all worked out fine.
Oh, Doolin, I couldn't be happier! I am soooo thrilled for you and your husband!
Next stop ... Morning Sickness! So enjoy all the R&S you can stomach until then!
Congratulations! You're pregnant! Woo Hoooooo!
Have you told your family yet?
InACity - the whole fam knows. We kept IF a secret for soooo long, but then we came clean last spring when we were heading for IVF. They all rode the ectopic roller coaster with us and have been very kind throughout this cycle. We figured we might as well get all the prayers we can! (especially since DH and I both come from very religious families, but are both pretty secular ourselves ... I figure God's got to be listening to some of them, right??)
I think R&S is on the menu for tomorrow night!
Congrats!!
I have the same anxious feeling about being off progesterone. I think that's a normal reaction!

Thanks ladies! You're all so nice and I am thrilled to be here!!
jsuann - yes, I was on PIO, but my booty started reacting poorly to the shots a couple of weeks ago (lots of bleeding, soreness, and itching). So I definitely am happy to part with them, but it's hard to make that leap of faith that my body can actually do this! [i think i can i think i can i think i can]
