HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
The title is a bit misleading since I "started" weeks ago, but have been cautious about posting... which I know is completely ridiculous, but it must be the Vegas superstitious side of me I suppose... ooooh a Vegas trip would be fun right now... but i digress... =)
I've been working with Dr. Shivani at SCI and things are going well, very well!
Here's a quick catch up on how things have gone so far:
mid October - four fresh embryos transferred
Early November - beta hCG - 308 whoa!
Week 5 - three gestational sacs triple WHOA!
Week 6 - two gestational sacs doing well, third is slow
Week 8 - slow gestational sac has a weak heartbeat, other two 152; 156Bpm
Week 10 - spontaneous reduction of slow gestational sac (although it's sad to think about, it's also a sigh of relief to avoid a selective reduction procedure for my wonderful surrogate).
Week 12 - everything on track so far! the kids have big heads though (measuring a week ahead of schedule at 13 weeks...) nuchal translucency 1.0, so far so good!
I'm cautiously optimistic, but with 3 failed attempts, I know lots of things can happen. I've been quietly following everyone's blogs and I want to send HUGE congrats to those expecting and also send out encouragement, love, and hugs to those on new attempts. I know from experience it can be horribly frustrating, sad, and stressful... but it really can happen!
Wishing everyone a happy, joyous, and prosperous 2012!
