10 Weeks & Graduated from IVF Dr.

Before the update from the Dr visit, i wanted to update everyone from my post last week, when I asked to stopped taking all my meds.  My levels all came back normal so I have been off my shots and patches for a about a week.  A couple of days after stopping everything, I started getting really sick, nauseous sick.  No throwing up or anything. Just really  sick to to my stomach and a really bad migraine. Thankfully, I had 2 days off of work and was able to suffer on my couch with my kittens. Although the next day when i went to work, I had a little bit of nausea  but I was able to make through the day with the help of some ginger ale and crackers. Still getting sick from time to time but not as bad as those few days. and I haven't had another migraine.

But on to the part of the update that everyone has been waiting for...
No ultrasound picture today.  : (
But, she looks more like a baby today. Could see the head and arms and heart flickering. We had a pretty quick visit with dr. and the last appt with this dr. : (
However, baby is doing just great! Shes measuring the right size and her heart rate was good.  I thought it was high at 192 bpm but dr wasn't concerned and said she's good.
So now I have been referred to a high risk specialist for some genetic testing just to verify that baby is normal and to a regular OBGYN.
I have both appts made already! Seeing the specialist in a little over 2 weeks (12 weeks and 4 day) sand the OB at the end of Feb. (16 weeks).
Hopefully, all will continue to go well! We've made it this far, which is further than we have ever been.

I'll continue to keep my blog updated throughout the pregnancy! I appreciate all the support and love I have received from everyone. This has been quite an experience and I hope that it continues to be a good one! Only 30 more weeks to go!
