AW: 1st OB appt

BzeetyDBzeetyD member
in Pregnant after IF
We had our 1st OB appt today. It was great! My clinic was super excited to see us (they did our clomid rounds, IUIs and my D&C and tons of other stuff along the way) and it felt so good to have people we know be so excited. Had a pelvic exam and blood drawn for the Harmony test. My NP also tried to pick up the bean's heartbeat on doppler but we're just a tad too early (10w3d) so she ran an abdominal u/s and we saw the heart going and some jerky little movements! It's starting to feel really real and I'm starting to be excited, less cautious, and that is a great feeling. We've got another appt in 2 weeks and I think we'll have our NT scan then. WOOT!

----------
about the new format - I'm sad all the smileys and icons went away. How am I going to give away puppies or pizza?
BzeetyD = 38, Mr. BzeetyD = 44 together 12/02 married 9/08
TTC #1 since 1/10
DX: Unexplained/??? MFI issues

Our lil' lost sparks:
5w3d loss 7/30/10 - EDD March 2011
8w loss 4/15/11 - EDD November 2011
8w3d loss 8/2/12 - EDD March 2013
4w c/p loss 10/29/12 - EDD July 2013

Long story: trying on our own + testing testing testing with 6 rounds of Clomid, more testing, injectables + TI, laparoscopy - one tube blocked, 2 IUIs with Follistim...BFNs.
RPL testing all normal, Karyotyping normal

Moving on to IVF.

IVF #1 April 2012 = BFN, IVF #2 June 2012 = BFP. U/S 7/23 = saw heartbeat but measuring behind. Follow up U/S on 7/30 - no heartbeat. D&C 8/2. Trisomy 12. IVF #3 Oct 2012 = Chemical Pregnancy

Phone consult with CCRM on 12/12/12 - ODWU 1/4/13 - both tubes clear(!) - AFC 24, AMH 3.2, FSH 9.6, LH 5.4, E2 25. DH has high frag rate but improved!
IVF #4 March 2013 CCRM. EP protocol w/ Menopur, Gonal-F & Dexamethasone. ER 3/29 & IMSI, PICSI. 43R 13M 10F 6blasts bio'd. CCS testing reveals 3 normals!!!
FET 5/31/13 of 1 4AA blast - thawed and expanded. 4dp5dt BFP.
Beta 9dp5dt = 181, 11dp5dt = 427. 1st u/s showed a healthy heartbeat! EDD 2/16/14

After 4 years of hoping and heartbreak, our sweet little bean was born on 2/19/14
We are so in love with her.
