In Vitro #5

After discussing further options with Dr. Dodds, we decided that our best option was one more in vitro attempt with a fresh specimen instead of frozen. We were enjoying our 2008 and had decided that we would most likely wait for the next year to move forward on this, but, as we neared fall we realized our desire was too strong to wait any more. On Sept. 2,2008 we had our 5th IVF transfer with 3 fresh embryos! On Sept. 12 we had our first positive pregnancy test! Then a follow up on Sept. 16 that tripled! Sept. 26 was our first ultrasound! At this point I was 5 1/2 weeks and all you could see was a dot! Looks like we have one fetus! On October 6, we had our second ultrasound... we heard the baby's heart beat!!!!! We were then free to go to my regular OB. That appointment is in less than a week. It's really happening!!!! Our due date is May 24, 2009!!!!
