Diva congratulations! What a journey and what a gift - I hope this one is reaalllllly sticky and you have a wonderful pregnancy.
BTW - I had a partial mole late 2005 so I can understand your disbelief that it was really a baby! When you see that heart flickering it brings tears to your eyes and takes you breath away.
Thanks Nelly (and you too nickers!!!). I think the main reason that I asked, is 'cause I couldn't (and still can't on some days) believe we're ACTUALLY pregnant. We have a long history of things going pearshaped in our lives, so to actually have a wonderful, miraculous PG, and not something that "looks" like a PG but isn't, is actually tooooo fantatic tor us to comprehend!
And as much as we'd like to say we "saw" the heartbeat, we can't, it just looked like lots of grey smears to us, but the IVF dr says he "believes" he saw a flicker of a heartbeat (after all it wasn't a "proper" PG scan and the dating was only rough), and that's good enough for us. After all I don't think he'd allow himself to say that if he wasn't 100% sure.
First "proper" u/s is on the 20th of August .... how on earth are we going to be able to handle the wait???
Congrats on your BFP well done sweetie
and thank your for sharing your story, as it is stories like yours that make it easier for all of us, it reminds us that there is hope and it reminds us never to give up. you have brought tears to my eye's
congrats again darl
Awwwww thanks everyone! I've been feeling a bit anxious today, lots of lovely ladies have already heard a heartbeat at 6w, and we've only got the IVF doc's "belief" that he saw one. I keep thinking that it's "too good to be true" and we all know how the rest of that saying goes .....
Got a copy of my IVF referal BACK to my OB/GYN (that was treating me for infertility and now isn't ) and he's used stronger wording ... he now says "evidence of early fetal cardiac activity" so I'm feeling a "little" bit better, but not much!
Oh to be more closely monitored ... *drools* .... would certainly stop me from climbing the walls! , but as my DH firmly believes ... "GOD wouldn't give us this miracle just to take it away from us", so I'm having to learn patience .... but only under extreme duress!!!
OMG that pregnancy test story was the best I've ever read - brought tears to my eyes. I wish you and DH the best pregnancy ever!!! I better go find your pg journal so I can follow your miracle pregnancy!!!
