Updates - Beta Results & 1st Ultrasound

I know I haven't posted anything for awhile but I wanted to wait to make sure my numbers and 1st ultrasound went well before I posted anything. Please remember if you know me IRL please keep this hush, hush. We are waiting to tell Mike's family on Christmas Day and I want to wait till I'm 10-12 weeks to tell work.

Beta No. 1 - November 20 - HCG 325 / Progesterone 31
Beta No. 2 - November 23 - HCG 753 / Progesterone 49.4

As you can see my beta's were nice and strong and tripling. The beta's only needed to double within 48 hours. Then we had the wait for the ultrasound on Monday, November 30th. My one friend told me right away that she thought it was twins...she too had gone through IVF and knew about HCG numbers from her own pregnancies.

Thanksgiving was awesome because I felt I could eat everything and not feel like a cow doing it. I ate one very full plateful of food and then some more mashed potato's w/sweet potato's mixed in. The rest of the green bean casserole and a roll. I think that was it...I just know I was full and was glad I had on elastic pj bottoms...LOL I then proceeded to eat an hour later desserts...yep 2 of them. Then we went home and that night around 11:00 I wanted a salad and a tomato. So I had a salad and 1/2 a tomato. That's how my weekend pretty much went non stop eating. I've gained a few pounds but nothing major to be concerned about I'm pregnant I'm suppose to gain weight.

Then Monday rolled around for the ultrasound. We started out and saw one sac right away. Then the tech asked what type of treatment IUI or IVF. We told her IVF. Then she asked how many did we put back? We told her 2. Then that's when the 2nd sac showed up... Yep we are having twins as of right now. Right now they look like black holes, but they are the size of apple seeds so you can't see much yet. Look below for ultrasound pictures. We are so excited! Everyone that knows at this point asks if we are in shock and I'm not, we're not. Since the ET we've been saying babies till further notice so when there was 2 sacs I was very happy that they both took. My HCG level is now at 14,540 and progesterone at 59.9. So I'm indeed pregnant.

Next Tuesday, December 8th is when we go back for our 2nd ultrasound to see heartbeats. We won't be able to hear them but we should be able to see them on the screen.

Symptoms are pretty mild...sore boobs, nauseous but as soon as I eat I'm fine, and I'm tired. Oh the favorite thing for all pregnancies... I have to pee all the time!!! Other than that, this is all we know for sure for now. More updates to come.
