One healthy baby!
SIL and I met at the RE's office yesterday morning for our 6w5d ultrasound. SIL flew in from Seattle and I made the 3 hour drive to KC. It had been 9 months since we had seen each other and it was great to get to squeeze her!
The nurse took us right back and set us up for the scan. Dr. Stewart came in and we told him how excited we were to find out if it was going to be one or two. He did his thing and there was one little bean in there measuring right on track with a very strong heartbeat. (I forgot to ask what the heartbeat was but he said it was "perfect") We even got to hear the heartbeat. That was about all we could take and we both cried. Finally tears of joy for SIL after all these years :)
He then gave us a 90% chance of everything progressing normally and meeting this little bean on February 9, 2013!
He said I could stop all the medications at 10 weeks and I could taper off if that made me fell better, which I probably will.
After we left the office we were both calling and texting like mad everyone who was anxiously awaiting the good news.
We went to lunch and then spent the rest of the afternoon shopping. I got some new clothes that should work for the next couple months since I always grow out of my normal clothes way too early for maternity clothes :\ It has been especially bad this time because of all the hormone's I am on.
I then took her back to her car and she gave me some stickers for belly pics. They begin at 8weeks so I guess I will have to start taking pics next Saturday :)

MIA
So sorry I have been MIA for so long! It has been crazy around here :)
To catch up....
The transfer took place on May 24th. Everything went perfectly. The embryologist thawed 2 embryos and they were both hatching by the time we transferred. Dr. Stewart kept saying "I hope you are okay with twins!"
On Monday 5/28 I starting testing using my 50, yes I said 50, tests I bought on eBay and continued testing and stressing about the negatives until on Friday 6/1 I got a VERY faint positive. So of course, I tested again and got another one. I had to actually pull a negative test out of the trash to compare to make sure I wasn't loosing my mind and seeing things!
I called SIL and she was in total shock. She didn't even know whether to be excited or scared. LOL
The next day I went and got 3 First Response tests to use over the weekend, just to make sure the line continued to get darker. I even got a digital so I could send SIL a picture of the word pregnant. Which made it seem even more real!!!
On Monday 6/4 my first beta at 10.5dp5pt was......................................... 288!!!
A very strong number for a singleton, but still a slight chance of twins.
On Wednesday 6/6 my second beta at 12.5dp5dt was.......................................................955!!!
The nurse said that puts us at a 50/50 chance for twins!!! SIL and I are so very happy!!! My BRO is not sure how he feels about twins, but I think he needs twins! His life is too organized right now!!!
Our first ultrasound is scheduled for June 20th and SIL is flying in from Seattle for it! I am so excited she will be there the first time we see the heartbeat(s)
Stay tuned!
