2nd U/S brings great news! (warning)

Great news today: There is an 6wk 1day embryo with a beating heart (138) thriving in my ute! It was a VERY stressful week with little sleep. I cried in the chair when she showed me the heartbeat. I know I still have a difficult road ahead of me, with still a 50% chance of M/C. DH and I enjoyed a celebratory bagel and allowed happiness for a half an hour. We are going to take things one step at a time. Doc has put me on an additional folic acid pill and (unfortunately) Lovenox injections, in addition to the progesterone suppositories. Another U/S at 8 weeks. This pregnancy is going to be a series of two week waits, I think. As long as each one reveals good news, I will happily deal with it!
