2 days before the ultra-sound I started to spot brown and had some slight discomfort down there so I thought for sure this was the end of it all.
Well Friday was the big day... I was nervous as hell!! I told the doctor before we went in that I was spotting and he was nervous for me too. We didn't talk much and just wanted to get straight to it and figure out if there was a healthy baby in there. He got in there and went straight to the uterus to find that baby... he smiled and pointed to me with his mouse pointer (I had my own screen to look at) and said this is your little been and it's healthy! I was so in shock with so much relief... a 500 pounds man was lifted off my shoulders! I saw the little flicker of the heart beat at 174bpm. He then looked at my ovaries and they are the pain I have been having... full of cysts from the IVF (which is normal especially when at risk for OHSS). So he said I definately had OHSS just on the lower end of the scale though.
I think that's about all I learnt... oh wait... he did say "This should be your last internal u/s ever!!" WOOHOO! I got so used to the damn things that it didn't really dawn on me but now that he said that "What a milestone". What a dumb thing to be excited for but little things excite me!! :)
I went for bloodwork and if all is good I don't need to see anyone until my 12 week nuchal u/s.
COngrats hopeful! What an awesome update. :)
