I can hardly believe I’m saying it but number 6.

A single intrauterine pregnancy measuring perfectly at 6 weeks 6 days. Yolk sac & gestation sac looked great & the HB was visible even through all my layers of fat on an abdominal scan (I practically had to beg for the dildocam, but I wanted a really good look). Next scan is in 2 weeks, unless there is bleeding, and I’ll continue to have them every 2 weeks until 16 weeks when the placenta will be fully formed (its overkill, but I need it).

I have a tiny area of bleeding (only a couple of mm across) that I made the perinatologist have a look at - she says that without exception every patients she has on heparin has these tiny bleeds and they are not significant. The main purpose of all the scans will be to keep an eye on it though. I had another FBC today to monitor my platelets & I’m back in tomorrow for a progesterone (bit of a mix up there, but I’m too knackered to be cross).

Oh & I didn’t cry but I babbled like an idiot for 10 minutes & forgot to ask what the HR was - she just wrote ‘appropriate’ on the form - something else to worry about.

Trouble is that now I am in love & I am going to be really fucking pissed off if this one doesn’t stick around.
