A Little Bit of An Update...
Things are starting to look up. The spotting lasted all day Saturday and a little into Sunday then stopped. Then it decided to reappear for a hot second on Tuesday but things seem to back to normal (or whatever normal is when you are pregnant).
The nurse called on Tuesday afternoon and said that my urine test from last Thursday showed a mild infection so I am on antibiotics for 7 days. I shared with her our weekend experience and she wants me to call her on Monday to check in. The doctor is on vacation so if anything seems off she can do an ultrasound just to check and make sure everything is okay.
I feel good as far as feeling like the baby is doing well. I am very optimistic and feel like everything crazy that happened was just a fluke. I just can't wait to see the little bean in the next couple of weeks.
Here's the Plan...
Since this is a blog to document my IVF experience and now pregnancy, I really want to share weekly updates. Today I am posting weeks 7 and 8 just to catch up; however, since Saturday starts a new week, I will be posting weekly updates every Saturday with pictures starting with week 9.
How Far Along: 7 weeks
