Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Hi Ladies, I had my 1st pregnancy ultrasound yesterday (Friday 12/27) morning at the Reproductive Medicine Center. It was so cool! We heard the heartbeat, it was racing along at 138 beats per minute, which is normal according to the doctor. According to the RM doctor, I was 6 weeks 5 days at the time of the ultrasound. So tomorrow I will be 7 weeks. This is the true miracle baby!! I was told by the nurses before my IUIs that my follicles were too immature... well they were wrong! Well Dr. Nagel said he is truly amazed that I have made it this far, because my progesterone started out at 2.5, no one thought they would be able to recover the pregnancy, they all thought this pregnancy was not save able. I am still giving the progesterone in oil shots & will through at least the 10th week. But the blood test yesterday does show that my progesterone level is now 20+ so I am finally normal, it is about time!! LOL! The biggest thing seen on the ultrasound was my right ovary which is HUGE!! Dr. Nagel said it will get smaller as the pregnancy continues, it is from the ovary being hyperstimulated by the Follistim & Profasi. Which would explain the intermittent pain I have in my right pelvic area. Not a big concern, but I am glad to what is causing this pain now. So I don't have to worry about it. The tiny black area just above the word "black" is the uterus & fetus. The big upside down balloon is my right ovary, I am so looking forward to it going down in size!! I have to go to my primary care doctor on Monday December 30th, to get a letter referring me onto the perinatal doctor, although I already have a letter from the perinatologist stating he is willing take me on as a patient for an extremely high risk pregnancy. The letter was written in March 2002, because none of the RM doctors would touch me without it! According to the receptionists though it isn't good enough, so if the RM doctor doesn't send a letter along with my records, or I don't have a referral in my hot little hand from my primary care they will turn me away at my 1st appointment. The doctors at this clinic are great, the receptionists on the other hand make me so mad (piss me off so bad). I have gone round & round with them in the past already. Just to get my consultation to see the doctor I had to go 3 times, 1st time I hadn't been told I needed a referral per the clinic requirements until I got there, 2nd time I didn't have a referral from the right type of doctor, 3rd time I was finally allowed to see a doctor! Can I scream now? My 1st High risk OB appointment is January 16th. I hope everything goes smoothly. I'll call the RM clinic on Monday to see if Dr. Nagel is sending a letter stating my need to go to the Perinatologist with my records, or what. But I might call and get a referral from the OB clinic too, so that I have all the bases covered for the stupid receptionists. With all these lovely hormones in my body, I might do something I would regret later if they give me the same crap this time when I go for my appointment, as they have given me in the past otherwise. I just love people on power trips!! Ahhh!! Okay, that is the big news from my house. I am still having severe nausea, unfortunately it seems to be progressing to full blown all day sickness with vomiting... something I could have seriously lived without!! I question whether I am possibly getting a cold now too, although a lot of those symptoms could also be a combination of my allergies and how dry my house is. I run my air cleaner & humidifier 24/7, and my vaporizer anytime I am trying to go to sleep so I can breathe better. I am super tired, but unable to sleep which is driving me batty at the moment. I hope everyone is doing well this weekend!! I am sending baby dust to all of you that still need it, & lots of good wishes to everyone who reads this email!! Love Always, Anne edd: August 14, 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
