We officially had our last appointment with our IVF doctor. The baby looked good. It had grown quite a bit and I am measuring bigger than how far along I really am. I am hoping my OB-GYN will give us more detailed information on how the baby looks. My IVF doctor just kind of measures its size, measures the heartbeat and checks my blood work. Maybe my OB-GYN will take a closer look at the baby and tell us how everything is developing. I have no reason to think everything is not fine but it would be nice to hear that for some reassurance.
I came off all my hormones which was scary but my lab work looked good so it looks like my body finally realizes it is pregnant and will take over from here. The hormone withdrawal gave me a fierce headache that lasted for 3-4 days. I tried to stop my nausea medications as well. That didn’t go as well. My body still wants to reject any and all things put in my stomach. So I am back on them for now. Only problem with them is the one I take at night takes a while to wear off so getting up very early is impossible. It’s good to get the sleep but makes my day start later than I am used too.
Karlis and I have been convinced we were having a girl and the heartbeat has always been well above 150. Plus there was the whole Latvian wizard prediction. When we went to the doctor and I sat down to give blood the phlebotomist looked at my stomach and said “boy”. I told her we really thought it was a girl and she kept calling it a “he”. So imagine our surprise when the doctor got a heartbeat read of 139. So now I am confused but Karlis still says girl. We go to my OB-GYN on January 7 so we are hoping to find out the sex then.
So things are going well. The bleeding has finally stopped, the nausea is being taken care of and we are getting closer everyday to having our little one!
