Week 5 - bumpdate

So I am trying to play catch up here so this one will be short.  TMI coming your way so turn your head if you are the faint of heart!  Week 4 was filled with constipation but week 5 was filled with diarrhea!  UGH!!!!  Serious.  I can't believe how much you digestion is impacted here.  But you know what?  I will take it!  I did have my first bought with morning sickeness but my friend Tracy introduced me to sea bands.  They work wonderfully.  We will talk more about them at another time.

This week the chicken nugget is the size of an apple seed. From a seseme seed to an apple seed in one week.  Going though this process I am so fortunate because I get extra special attention.  Attention that people who get pregnant naturally don't get.  I was able to get an ultrasound at week 5 that showed the sac with the yolk.  Our apple seed literally looks like a chicken lol.

Here are my bump pictures.  Still not showing anything.  Haven't even gained weight fortunately.

Pardon the no bra and very messy bathroom.  Some day I am going to remove the silly sticker from the mirror.  I think I have had that mirror for 10 years and never removed the sticker lol.

4 Weeks and Counting

So go figure.... looks like we got a stickie bean! 

I am pretty sure the stickie one is the one you can see hatching all by itself.  I never had that before.  We actually had 3 but the 3rd was just not progressing fast enough so we thought we would put our energy towards these guys.  So as you can see transfer was on 8/16 so beta was on 8/25.  I actually knew I would get a positive beta as my symptoms were just so different.  On 8/20 I had some implantation spotting and cramping.  No this bean didn't take long at all and on 8/22 I suffered from extreme heartburn.  I thought it was the nachos from the night before at the base ball game.  My fertility friend peeps convinced me to test and low and behold I get my very first home BFP.

Pardon the coffee stains on the paper.  I obviously got really excited and spilled my coffee.  So these are my tests over a couple days.  The very bottom is from 8/23 am, the very top is from 8/24 pm and the two middles are the morning of my beta 8/25.  I figured my beta was around 50ish based on the color of the tests.  Boy was I wrong.  I gotta 193.6 and beta #2 was 399.6. 

Technically I am 4 weeks along even though the fetus is 2 weeks.  So at 4 weeks our peanut is the size of a sesame seed.

 

 

I am also going to do my bump pictures so here we are... 4 weeks!  Nothing but a bloated belly lol!

 



I really want to write more but lets do that in week 5.  I technically just started week 5.  My ultrasound is tomorrow where we will get to see the sac!  How exciting!
