We had our first ultrasound today and we have two good heartbeats! We knew it was a possibility since we transferred three embryos. But I can't believe we actually got heartbeats! My first pregnancy we never got this far. And literally on the way to our appointment today I started bleeding which was so worrying! My RE said it was a subchorionic hemorrhage and that everything looked fine. He did schedule another appointment next week though to check in on things. I can't believe this is finally happening for us! We've been trying to have a baby for over 4.5 years and we finally heard heartbeats today!
