OB Ultrasound - 10 weeks

Had a great appointment yesterday at Seattle Reproductive Medicine. The baby is still going strong and I was discharged from their care. Meaning, I can now go to a regular OB/GYN. They even handed me a little graduation gift on my way out. I was hoping it would be a big fat check but alas, it was some lotions and some other small trinkets.

And my ovaries are finally measuring smaller so I was cleared to do some light exercise. Happy day!

Here is a little sneak peak of our baby. He/She was moving its tiny little arms and legs the whole time. These ultrasounds always amaze me.


What a process! I thought it would be fun to have a summary of all that I went through at Seattle Reproductive Medicine during this IVF cycle, so here are some numbers:
  • Injections = 22 in 9 days
  • Appointments = 19
  • Ultrasounds/Surgery/Transfer = 14
  • Prescribed Medications = 12
  • Blood Draws = 9
  • Duration = 5 months (from initial consultation to being discharged from their care)
Of course, this was only on my side. Michael had to go through a lot as well and this journey started a lot longer than 5 months ago. Just feeling grateful for modern-day technology that has given us this chance to be parents again.
