C'MON!!

[blasphemy herein...consider yourself warned.]

Look, Flo, wherever the hell you are... I'm not playin' with you, byatch! If I don't see you soon I'mma hunt you DOWN and give you the ass-kicking of your life. Srsly.

Just sayin'. Holiday clinic closings, travel plans and whatnot have got me a teeny bit on edge.

And if that bastard baby Jesus screws up this ttc effort #1 for me he's next on my list. After you, Flo.

Welcome to Troll Control. Your genuine thoughts are welcome. Please be patient if your comment doesn't appear immediately. I may be otherwise occupied.

The data thus far

October 4, 2010. 30 weeks+ and going well. Hard to believe that the IUIs and chemical pegnancy and betas all actually added up to this: aching ribs and sore back and huge belly and 9 weeks to an REAL baby.

April 22, 2010. Back to RE for followup. Good stong HB. Definite blobbiness observed. Measuring 6w5d +/- 4d-- but there is definite growth from the OB scan, so I believe this is just measurement error and difference in machines. Dr. assure me it looks great, and I agree. First feeling of "OMG, I think I might be pregnant for real." I almost graduate but she wants me bakc to look at my superzsized ovaries one last time.

April 19 2010. First OB appt. Normal, orb-shaped sac, nice HB, "about 140". Measuring 6w5d +/- 2d.

April 15 2010. Heartbeat. Measuring 6w1d +/- 4d. "Irregular sac".

April 8, 2010: Beta #3 2699 @21dpo (49h doubling); p4>20; E2 rising. ONE gestational sac. Orangish spotting 12 h after scan, changing to brownish. Oy, let the panic begin.

April 5 2010: Beta #2 990 @18dpo; p4 >20; E2 638. Doubling time: 38.91. Solid so far!
