Pregnant after IF

Bittersweet Graduation

We had our 11 week ultrasound last night and all went well. No more internal ultrasounds--woot! The baby was wiggling so much that it was hard to get a clear picture but it had a heart rate of 178bpm and is measuring four days ahead. I didn't know my RE was going to do this but he measured the nuchal translucency--we were torn as to whether or not to have a NT scan but I guess he decided for us. 
We're officially graduated now and it felt very bittersweet to say goodbye. Words could not express our gratitude, you know? Our RE is also an OB/GYN so we could have stuck with him for prenatal care but his clinic is a pretty long drive and the hospitals he delivers at don't have birthing tubs so we decided to go with a midwife clinic instead. He was very supportive and just asked that we send him baby pictures! I had my blood drawn last night and will hopefully be off the PIO soon--as soon as RE calls me with the results and tells me to stop taking it. YAY for graduation!!!
Waving HI!

Hi! I have been following you since joining the Bump under Infertility. I'm so glad that you are doing well and it inspires me to know that you are staying so calm, collected and just happy to be pregnant. I'm a little over 1 week behind you and wishing you the best. I get to stop by PIOs today (my doctor says that he always makes his patients stay on them for longer than necessary just to be sure) and I am super excited!
