Well we went in for our first scan yesterday & I guess things are ok.  I say I guess because although there was a gestational sac measuring 5wks 1day, there was no yoke sac.  With Adelyn there was a gorgeous obvious yolk sac for our first scan.  I know it's still early, & this is common, but I just hate the doubt that it allows to creep in.  I'm also so darn confused about how far along I am.  By my LMP I would be 5wks 1day which is what I measured.  But going by my LMP seems silly as I know the day I got my IUI.  If I go by that date I would be 5wks 3days.  My RE's office is going by my LMP which I find annoying.  I know it's not a huge difference but if I am 5wks 3days it makes me even more nervous that I didn't see a yolk sac (I was 5wks 4days w/Addy).  The other thing is that she didn't even zoom in!  I feel like she could've but don't know why I didn't say anything.  Oy.  I am also waiting on bloodwork they took at the appt that I still haven't gotten the results back for.  Hopefully those are at least beyond good to help calm my very frazzled nerves.  I go back on Mon for another sono.  Unfortunately their earliest appts start @ 10am & my mom lands @ 10:15am so she will have to come with me to the appt. @ 11am.  Which is not cool cuz she doesn't even know yet & I just wanted to make sure all was going as it should before I told her.  Please pray she is there for good news & that we even get to see a little heart beating.

Outside of all of this I am still having many symptoms.  I am nauseous, my boobs hurt, exhausted & so very backed up.  I did speak w/the Dr's office & have informed them that I will not be taking the HCG shots.  Thankfully they didn't give me a hard time.  Thank you so much for your advice on the subject.  I am still taking estrogen which they continue til 8 wks, but we made a deal that I can stop once we see a heartbeat.  After that it's only the lovenox, folbic & my prenatals.  Oh how nice that will be. 

As for my precious little Addy, we are still struggling with the hair thing but it has gotten a bit better.  We went in & got her iron levels tested to see if that was why she was eating it & I'm still waiting for the results. In the meantime we are just working really hard on distracting her & helping her to sleep if she is struggling with relaxing.  Please continue to pray that she stops pulling.

    Praying for you! I could say all kinds of things like "it's still early" or "every pregnancy is different", but I realize that these don't bring true comfort. I hope that the promise of prayers can bring you some much needed comfort and peace.

    So much stress at once! I'm going to hope that the early idea is a good one. I'll really be hoping and hoping for you. Lots of love.

    I'm sure everything is fine. It kinda sucks knowing all that you know about miscarriages and infertility, doesn't it? I remember wishing I could just sit back, relax, and enjoy being ignorant and pregnant like I did with my first.

    ...still praying for you guys!

    You're in my thoughts and prayers. The ambiguity is the hardest thing to deal with. Either there's a baby or there's not. Either there's a heartbeat or there's not. Waiting to find out if something iffy has gotten better or worse is so awful. *hugs*
