Going through IVF/PGD in hopes of my DD

An emotional journey in order to get my little girl!

A trip to the ER

So, I went to the ER on Friday. I had some bleeding and my OBGYN's office was already closed. When I wiped after going "potty" I had seen blood. I wiped 2 other times and there was more blood. I didn't really have anything after that but the dr. still wanted me to go in. I was thankful that I didn't have any cramping like I had during the first bleeding scare.

Since this has happened before it made me even more nervous. I had bleeding with DS1 once and went on to have a beautiful baby. I didn't know what to think of having bleeding twice!

We finally got an U/S and saw a tiny baby girl with a heartbeat of 181! It was great. The tech had said that around 9 wks the heartbeat goes up to about 180 and then continues to decrease after that until it reaches about 140-150 and then remains around that for the rest of the pregnancy. Then she checked the heartbeat and there it was 181 perfectly what she had predicted! We also got to see her "dancing" in there. Her little arms were moving about and she was twisting back and forth! She's going to be a dancer!(ballerina hopefully, not exotic!!)

So, they found 2 subchronic hemorrages (I know, it isn't spelled right, don't feel like looking it up). My dr. called me today and said since I've had no further bleeding that she isn't worried about it. We will just keep an eye on them and as long as the baby's hb is good there's nothing to worry about at this time.

I will go to the OB on Thurs and hear the hb then. Not sure if it will be a detailed u/s or not but excited to get to check on her! 

Tomorrow is 10 wks and I am thrilled! Only 2 more weeks to go and I'm out of the scary 1st trimester!! YIPPI!!!!!

About gsbabies

I'm a former teacher & now stay at home mom to two ridiculously cute little boys (3 1/2 & 2). I am married to my best friend and have an amazing family of 4. Yet, I feel as if there is something, someone, missing. My heart longs for my daughter.

The problem, how to get her? We spent over $20,000 on cycle #1 pgd/ivf and now I am cycling locally and doing a frozen embryo transfer.

We've said if this cycle doesn't work we were going to move forward with International adoption. I'm already 2nd guessing that plan b/c the longing to be pregnant has gotten the best of me. So, I really need to have this work so I don't have to come up with a plan b....I mean plan C.

****Update: So far Plan B is still on!!!! Baby on Board!!!!
