So onto my 2nd post here for the day. We got back from the RE's a little while ago and what a wonderful (and emotional) appointment.
Our little baby has grown a lot over the last week. It's now measuring 7w5d (and we're 7w6d) so it gained a few days. The heartbeat was 167 bpm and oh that was so beautiful. And we were so awestruck, we completely forgot to record it! But it was just the best sound in the world. The doctor pointed out the head, the heart, and we could even see limb buds. Oh, it was so cute!!!!
Then the RE realized that that was our last appointment with them. It was time for us to graduate onto an OB/GYN. We started saying our thank you's and our goodbye's and I burst out crying. It was the doc who saved my last ovary at my e/p surgery in August and if he hadn't managed to pry that tube off of the ovary we wouldn't have been doing IVF. He helped to make this all possible for us. So it was extra special that it was Dr. V who was able to see us for our final appointment (and a wonderful one at that!)
Here are some pics from tonight's u/s and I'll be back on tomorrow evening to tell you how the appointment with the specialist went.
This first pic is measuring the 2nd sac. It's measuring one week behind and is still empty so eventually my body will just reabsorb it.
This second pic is the baby measuring 7w5d.
Third pic has the two sacs side by side.
Last pic was when we got to see and hear the heartbeat.
FANTASTIC!!!
