Mixed Emotions!

I had an ultrasound appointment this week and the results broke my heart and warmed it at the same time. This is hard for me to write about because it was a hard experience to go through. When we were doing the procedure the doctor determined that one of the twins failed to progress. My body and the other placenta had absorbed most of the baby. That was crushing but in that he also found a baby that is thriving. There is one baby in there growing well and had a strong heartbeat of 168bpm. It is hard for me because for most everyone, except the parents, it is something that happened to them not me. And yes it wasn't my baby but I was excited about it. This was very unexpected and a big shock. Now we are focusing on the remaining baby. I was finally released from the fertility clinic and will be moving on with my OB. My medication will be tapered and I will be done in lest than two weeks.  I am excited that we have a healthy pregnancy and just have to believe it will continue that way! Wish me luck!

Long time

It has been a long time since I posted on here but most of you who follow me on Facebook you have gotten updates. Those of you who have not seen my pregnancy blood test went from 145 to 1425 to 3440ish. Then last week I had an ultrasound and was able to video chat with the parents during the procedure. We saw two sacs and two heartbeats! One was 114 and the other was 124. They implanted one from each father and one of each sex so it looks like I will be having a boy and girl again. The nausea is of course horrible again. The clinic has started me on Diclegis. This is my first time using this but with my boys and the twins I took Zofran, which has since been deemed unsafe to take during pregnancy. It is a medication you take twice a day to prevent the nausea and vomiting. It works good but I have had some breakthrough symptoms. You can up the dose if needed but I am waiting to do that if it gets unbearable. I am beginning to taper off my medications so hopefully the injections won't be happening for much longer. I am not sure how much of that I have shared so I will say I now take 2 pills in the morning (levothyroxine, and Diclegis). Then one injection everyday and one Mondays and Fridays. Then I take Prenatal vitamins, baby asprin, vitamin D, and Diclegis at night. Also I do two vaginal suppositories a day. So needless to say I can't wait to finish with them. I know how important they are to the process to I don't mind taking them but as soon as it is safe I will be happy to stop them. I have another ultrasound in two weeks to make sure they are growing correctly. Wish me luck!
