Sono Day

Here we go! I had my official 6 weeks confirmation of heartbeats sono on Thursday and drum roll please.......2 HEARTBEATS!!! I am carrying twins again! I definitely wasn't expecting this based on my betas but I guess that just goes to show those numbers don't mean a whole lot. I actually was kind of expecting it because I sonoed myself at work and saw 2 so by Thursday I wasn't surprised.  But how amazing is it to see 2 little tiny size of chocolate chip babies with little heartbeats flickering!  I'm very excited and happy for the IP's. Obviously, it's still very early and a lot can happen between now and D day, but we'll just hope for the best for this family to receive 2 healthy term babies!
As for me, I sweet talked my REI Doc into letting me do vaginal suppository progesterone now that I'm pregnant so I only have to do the 0.3ml of estrogen IM every 3 days!  My butt isn't sore at all and I'm one happy surro momma!  I will continue this regimen until I'm 10 weeks pregnant. Only 3 weeks and 2 days left! I have another sono scheduled for next Thursday to make sure they're still doing well.  2 weeks after that I'm supposed to have another one, but I have a trip to Jamaica planed already so we'll see when that one will actually happen? 
I still don't have many symptoms?  I have a little nausea here and there, nothing too serious though. I'm peeing a lot, but I'm drinking a lot too so it could be that? My most annoying symptom is dizziness when I stand.  My blood pressure must tank when I stand up because I almost pass out quite frequently.  I have to remind my self to stand up like an old lady, nice and slow.  Also in the mornings after I take my progesterone i feel  little drunk for like an hour or so.  I never felt like that with the other surrogacy so I'm not sure where that comes from?  I have a theory that being on all the meds prior to being pregnant is what makes me not feel the symptoms much? I could just be crazy,or the luckiest pregnant woman ever, I'm not sure which but you will not ever hear me complain!

Pregnant???

My transfer of 2, 6 day old embryos happened on Wednesday September 23rd. Since then I have not felt pregnant.  I'm a little tired, a little crampy, and have headaches and a cold. But not many symptoms otherwise. I'm a slightly impatient person so I asked my IF (Intended father) if I could take a home test and on Tuesday and Wednesday I had 2 positive tests!!! Yay, still not "official" till my blood test which I just so happened to have done this morning.  I was anxious yesterday though and bored so I looked up my previous surrogacy HCG results and at 7 days post 5 day embryo transfer my HCG was almost 3,000! Well, that was twins so obviously that's why it was so high.  I'm kinda hoping for twins this time toes I'm praying for a high number like that again.  Then I get the call...329, boo thats no 3,000, but I am pregnant and I'm excited about that.  It doesn't have to be twins as long as I'm pregnant! Then I posted on my surrogacy Facebook page my number and I was kinda disappointed and several people said their number was around that and they're pregnant with twins, so there is still hope.  My sono to be able to see if its one or 2 is on the 15th of November!!  TBD.........    :)
